Morning Glory: California's catastrophe
Fox News
There is one good way to rebuild, and it requires President Trump and the GOP Congress to take control of the enormous areas destroyed by the fires.
"Rebuild LA" followed the riots of 1992. It was stood up in great hope of a renaissance in the areas destroyed in the paroxysm of violence that followed the first not guilty verdict in the trial of officers charged with the 1991 beating of Rodney King. More than 50 people died in the violence, thousands were injured, fires and looting ravaged the City of Angels. Rebuild LA was helmed by Peter Ueberroth and even that titan of California, revered because of his management of LA’s 1984 Olympics, could not bring order out of the chaos. The effort faded and failed. LA then as now is not easily governed. Or rebuilt. On Sunday’s Meet the Press, California Governor Gavin Newsom was using the language of Rebuild LA from 30 years ago: bringing everyone together to reimagine an LA 2.0 etc.
