  • Unsubscribed

    I sat through the “interview” conducted via Zoom from a moving subway car and I didn’t think it could get any worse. The most recent episode is so right leaning with zero data and celebrates claims that the current administration is stepping in to “fix” permitting issues. As anyone who has dealt with permitting ever, each project has its own issues. Between owners, designers, and subcontractors - it’s not ONLY the permitting office that causes delays.

    Instead of celebrating the current administ... more

  • Stick to the Palisades fire

    We don’t need “news” from this podcast or views on national events. I stopped listening once it became clear there is a very biased political leaning here. Just focus on the fire, helping people with insurance problems everyone is facing, the rebuilding, and our local palisades news. The podcast has lost its focus and its core audience.

  • Sad this pod went downhill

    These guys had the LA county supervisor on and she never mentioned buying up our lots at post fire prices. Also they have the same people on more than once because they consider them safe. I’m smart enough to know they are bought and paid for. I gave them a good review until I realized they are pushing the fire hardening narrative. I grew up in Oregon houses are 600k in the best areas prop taxes are about 7k. In Pali I paid 65k for no police and 30 LAFD to be dispatched after a fire burned for h... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3-E16: Spencer Pratt Was Winning. Then Skid Row came in for Raman. With Guest Gabriel Mann
Q: Gabriel, what's your first take on what's happened and Transpire the last week?
Gabriel Mann responds that the data and narrative around the election require careful scrutiny, noting the importance of transparency and the need to understand how the late-stage vote shifts occurred, while not necessarily declaring fraud but advocating for accountability in the process.
S2 P8 Fire Loss Tax Issues with CPA Linda Forman
Q: What are the main tax areas homeowners should consider after the Palisades Fire?
Property assessments, rebuilding-related taxes, and capital gains on sales are the three big buckets, with casualty losses and insurance proceeds also playing key roles in determining basis and potential tax liabilities.
S2-12 Ben Allen Interview - SB 549, Insurance, Recovery
Q: What exactly is SB 549 intended to do for Palisades residents?
SB 549 is aimed at creating a local rebuilding framework to streamline processes and provide tools such as a potential land bank and coordinated material purchasing, while ensuring decisions stay grounded in community input rather than top-down mandates.
S3 - E15 Trey Robertson - Fire Litigation Update
Q: What is the procedural posture of the mass tort, and how does discovery proceed?
The court consolidated over 12,000 plaintiffs into a mass tort for unified discovery while maintaining individual resolutions; discovery resumed after a long stay, with depositions of state park employees and firefighters, and a series of rulings by the California Court of Appeal and potentially the California Supreme Court to determine the viability of the case moving forward.
S3 - E15 Trey Robertson - Fire Litigation Update
Q: Can homeowners join the case now, and what deadlines apply for government tort claims?
Homeowners can join but most government tort claim deadlines have passed for personal injuries and property damage, leaving only inverse condemnation as a possible path for those not previously filed, which limits damages to property loss without emotional distress; a detailed liability questionnaire and property documentation will be required for the next phase.
