I mean, it was 16,000-18,000 homes that were destroyed? That's a hell of a lot when you consider that all the other new builds are still in the queue to be permitted too.
- smelendez 1y agoSure! But you could treat it as an emergency and staff up. It could even be through a mutual aid system the way utilities team up to do repairs after disasters, borrowing permitting experts from other jurisdictions.

- zdragnar 1y agoThe cost of permits alone would easily pay for the extra staff and overtime. Most places in California charge what, $1-3k per house?
