I was in Pacific Palisades again today. I saw the first cleared lots in the flats. They dug out two feet of soil and the foundation so I believe it was most likely a private party clearing and not the EPA, US Army Corps of Engineers or local government. All of the removal companies I saw working today were private parties. It takes about a week or so to clear each lot. The government said they'd only removed top six inches of soil and wouldn't test the soil for toxic materials. There will be a lot of toxic materials in this debris from plastic, fiberglass, asbestos, lithium batteries, lead, heavy metals, melted construction materials, incinerated cars and more. It will be kicking up in the air for a long time. Wear a mask.
I noticed the only people with real power had solar. The others hired huge professional generators which they gated and locked up. Makes sense otherwise you have no security and no one is living in the surviving homes. I saw a few surviving homes that were boarded up for security reasons and some were fully gated. They were not destroyed. In the main burn areas all of the power lines were burned and had to be removed, see photo below. Imagine having to basically rebuild the entire city including all utilities. It's a huge undertaking.
I visited 18860 Pacific Coast Highway PCH. This newer fire resistant home survived the fire while the neighbors burned down. He has a huge generator running. His neighbors burned down and may not be able to be rebuilt because of new construction regulations, tide levels and land erosion. These people probably didn't have mortgages because you can't get mortgages in some of those areas because of fires, erosion, sea levels, storm surge and tidal levels.
World Central Kitchen is no longer providing free food in Palisades or Altadena. They stopped the service at the same time in both places. I didn't end up eating lunch because it's boycott day. There were a lot of food trucks at the same WCK location. Gelsons is obviously gone and won't be rebuilt for a long time. Vons at Sunset and PCH is open and should be restocked by now. Still, it's no Gelsons. That was a great store. Thankfully the hardware store survived.
