A year later and progress is slow

The Eton and Palisades Fires created a path of destruction that was unprecedented in Southern California. While there has been much finger-pointing and blame for the fires, that doesn't help with the rebuild. As of now, there is only ONE fully completed house out of over 9,000 structures destroyed. At that rate, the Earth will have crashed into the Sun before all the structures are rebuilt. The other shame is that even structures that were damaged, but not destroyed, are taking forever to get back to livable conditions. It is heart wrenching to see such slow progress. Walking the dogs past still vacant lots is heartrending. 

This house was damaged on the outside. A matter of a new roof and new stucco. Still waiting.
