California Bill Passes to Grab Palisades Land as Trump Envoy Speaks Out
California Gov. Gavin Newsom claimed that he did not want to bulldoze the remains of burned-down Palisades houses and replace them with low-income housing. But that is apparently exactly what he’s doing now, with the help of the California legislature—and Donald Trump’s special missions envoy is furious.
Richard Grenell accused Newsom of lying about his fire recovery goals. Newsom had scoffed, “The claim that the Governor wants to bulldoze fire victims’ neighborhoods and replace them with ‘affordable housing’ is absurd.” But he just announced over $100 million for building low-income housing in the area of the Palisades and other burned areas, as a bill moves through the California legislature to allow such housing to be built on burned-down lots. The bill, which passed the state Senate on Wednesday, would change the law to support the governor’s shameful land grab. Trust Democrats to gang up on their citizens.
Trump administration special envoy Richard Grenell wrote on X, “@GavinNewsom lied. He said he wouldn’t grab the land where homes burned down in the Palisades to build low-income housing facilities - but he and Karen Bass just did. They are changing the character of the Palisades and Malibu to fit their woke agenda. They don’t care what residents want. They can’t even deliver building permits properly. But this fight is not over.”
Grenell and Newsom have been at odds for a while, after Grenell advised the president not to send billions of taxpayer dollars for California fire recovery until the Democrats there agreed to reform their fire and water management system, which prioritizes woke climate dogma and thus wastes water, leaving areas vulnerable to dangerous fires. Newsom responded by griping about Grenell’s “audacity.”
