In Palisades, a Rick Caruso-led tour with San Jose's Mayor Matt Mahan becomes forum for fire recovery challenges
"Nearly 6,000 properties sit in various stages of insurance dispute, debris clearance, redesign or financing limbo. What has stalled progress, residents say, is not a lack of will, but a lack of coordination, capital flow, clear accountability and the critical question around insurance."
"The walking tour began at LAFD Station 69 and moved through a corridor that has come to symbolize California's wildfire rebuilding challenge. The most consequential part of the visit did not happen on the walking tour, but behind closed doors, where Mahan joined nearly 40 Palisades and Malibu stakeholders for a recovery and resilience roundtable."
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan toured fire-damaged areas in Pacific Palisades with developer Rick Caruso and LA Councilmember Traci Park to assess recovery progress over a year after the fire. Nearly 6,000 properties remain in various stages of insurance disputes, debris clearance, redesign, or financing limbo. Residents identify coordination failures, insufficient capital flow, unclear accountability, and insurance complications as primary obstacles to rebuilding. Mahan, a gubernatorial candidate and vocal Newsom critic, participated in a closed-door recovery roundtable with approximately 40 Palisades and Malibu stakeholders organized by the Palisades Recovery Coalition.
