SmartLA 2028? — Newsom Announces “Marshall
Plan” to Rebuild a New Los Angeles:
“We Already Have a Team Reimagining
LA 2.0”

Original Article

Posted By: Trapper, 1/13/2025 10:33:16 AM

In the wake of the devastating wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles County, Governor Gavin Newsom has unveiled an ambitious initiative dubbed the “Reimagining LA 2.0” to reconstruct the city. This plan, which he refers to as “reimagining LA 2.0,” aims to rebuild the city with a focus on modernization and resilience, particularly in anticipation of the 2028 Olympics and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Comments:

While the city is still burning, Newsom rolls out a fully formed plan to reimagine and build a city of the future where Angelenos' homes and businesses once stood? Was the plan all along to save the cost of demolition by just letting it all burn? "Oh look. Isn't that convenient that it is all gone! I just happen to have a plan here in my back pocket." Yeah right.

Instead of soviet style high rises, how about turn that Pallisade area into a memorial park.

Let's not forget to accommodate the multitude of homeless too. A few Section-8 Cabrini Green/Pruitt Igoe style housing complexes should be part of the mix.

The title alone is a nonsensical word salad. Did he already have an LA 2.0 and now they are ready for the new and improved re-imagined LA 2.0? How about LA 2.1? Or, for major releases it gets stepped up to 3.0. His word salad at the end was like a random string of buzzwords that added up to "We have plans but we don't know what they are yet."

To provide some perspective: from Karen Bass 2022 campaign for Mayor: Bass said her political experience would allow her to build coalitions across multiple levels of government to address homelessness. Bass said she would work to “build more temporary, affordable, and permanent supportive housing,” “house 15,000 people by the end of year one, dramatically reduce street homelessness, end street encampments, [and] lead on mental health and substance abuse treatment.” To address public safety, Bass said she would hire more police officers, invest in programs to address causes of crime, and establish an Office of Community Safety “to develop a neighborhood-specific strategy to re-envision public safety, and ensure that the needs of individual communities are met.” In a debate, Bass said, “when I look at the negatives, I also see that as an opportunity. An opportunity for jobs, for example. We have environmental goals we need to accomplish in the next decade-and-a-half. That’s an opportunity for jobs.” source:ballotpedia.com

He will have to start by imagining where the money is coming from. Unfortunately, not much from insurance companies, and Joe Biden is no longer able to put it on the endless national credit card. Commentator Chris Matthews once said proudly that Republicans will never be able to out-promise the Democrats because no matter the price tag, Democrats will always promise more.

I immediatly had visions of the "20-minute city" concept where everything you need is within circle with a 3.1 mile (5 kilometer) radius, or a 20-minute public transportation ride or bicycle ride away. You have no need for a car, so are essentially a prisoner within that circle. Leftist politicians have been itching to prove this concept for years. Now is their chance. https://www.projectmoonshot.city/post/the-20-minute-city-we-shape-our-cities-then-our-cities-shape-us

A new “Marshal Plan” sounds great, but who will be expected to pay the freight for that? Badmouthing Trump does not appear to be a smart way to get additional Federal funds for California. No doubt California will bring in and use huge numbers of Mexican crews to remove the debris.

Do NOT expect every other state to pay for California's rebuilding what California's mismanagement/ignorance/stupidity caused. This is largely the fault of the Sierra Club and like organizations for squealing like a stuck pig every time someone proposed 1) cleaning out the brush, dead trees and flammable detritus in the hills surrounding and in LA, and 2) making the abundant water sources that California has available to the actual human inhabitants of the state, rather than some bait fish (i.e., bait minnow) that may - or may not - actually still exist, if it ever did! This is ALL on you, California.

Since his election, Biden and the Democrats have made no secret of their desire to destroy the suburbs as we know them. Never mind that living in the suburbs is part of the American Dream, and people work their tails off to get to live there. Dems have been demanding the suburbs be more Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive. That means taking local control from the people who live there and pay the taxes, and having unelected government bureaucrats make rules, They planned on TELLING communities what they must allow, such as multifamily housing and more dense populations per neighborhood. Learn more about how Democrats planned to remake the suburbs by seizing local control. Residents who lost their homes might want to watch their Democrat leaders very closely, now that they're talking about "Reimagining" LA. Might be better to reimagine what competent leadership looks like. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/biden-and-dems-are-set-to-abolish-the-suburbs/

Let me get this straight; this Brylcreem boob Newsom all of a sudden, has a plan to fix this deadly mess that he is solely responsible for? Even before the fire is out? That tells me that this plan was in place way before the flames started! Ladies and gentlemen of California, Newsom should be the absolute last person on earth that you should rely on to fix what’s left of your city! In any event, let’s hold off on this reimagining baloney until the fire is out and all the dead people are accounted for!

Fresh off the back of Anthony Fauci and his former agency being accused of lying to lawmakers and covering up the origins of Covid-19, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is embroiled in another scandal. This time, an explosive report by US congressional investigators found the NIAID tried to hide plans to conduct gain-of-function (GOF) research on a lethal strain of the monkeypox virus. The proposed experiments from 2015 sought to insert genes into the virus to retain a moderate fatality rate of approximately 10-15%, but also to make the virus more transmissible, giving it ‘pandemic potential.’

In a rebuke of the neo-liberal orthodoxy which has dominated both major political parties in Britain, a study has found that mass migration has not actually stimulated the economy and has been a major drag on public services and the housing sector. A report from the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) and co-authored by former immigration minister Robert Jenrick finds record levels of immigration imposed upon the country by the so-called Conservative Party — despite promising the public to reduce the influx of foreigners following Brexit — has not been correlated with an increase to economic growth per capita.

Special counsel report found Trump engaged

WASHINGTON - U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith concluded that Donald Trump engaged in an "unprecedented criminal effort" to hold on to power after losing the 2020 election, but was thwarted in bringing the case to trial by the president-elect's November election victory, according to a report published on Tuesday. The report details Smith's decision to bring a four-count indictment against Trump, accusing him of plotting to obstruct the collection and certification of votes following his 2020 defeat by Democratic President Joe Biden. It concludes that the evidence would have been enough to convict Trump at trial, but his imminent return to the presidency, set for Jan. 20, made that impossible.

Sen. Jack Reed (R.I), the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump’s pick to head the Department of Defense, that he is plainly unqualified and lacks the necessary character to lead the nation’s armed forces. I do not believe that you are qualified to meet the overwhelming demands of this job. We must acknowledge the concerning public reports against you,” Reed said in a stinging opening statement at Hegseth confirmation hearing, which began at 9:30 a.m. EST Tuesday morning. Reed said committee members must pay close attention to allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement against Hegseth in recent years.

The Los Angeles fires have killed at least 24 people and destroyed more than 12,000 structures, and the reported estimated damage is around $150 billion. The damage is largely due to Democrats like Governor Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass after they slashed fire department funding and didn’t fill reservoirs. On Monday Biden announced his Regime is giving $770 to people impacted by the California wildfires.
