The devastating LA fires have left behind more than just scorched land—residents are facing an uphill battle against bureaucratic delays, homelessness, and political maneuvering. In this episode of Fired Up California, we break down Mayor Karen Bass’s controversial decision to bring in Hagerty Consulting, a firm with deep political ties, to oversee the rebuild. We also expose how Gavin Newsom prioritizes climate policies over fire prevention, the shocking role of homelessness in wildfire outbreaks, and why California’s recovery efforts are failing the working class. Plus, we connect the dots to corruption at the local level, with Carlsbad’s own struggles in government mismanagement.
