Victorian Architecture is often misunderstood as decorative excess where really it is about the expansion of creative expression to the middle classes.
To Rebuild or Not to Rebuild:
That is the question. It's a big decision with a lot of weight, especially when entire communities—Pacific Palisades, Altadena—have essentially been wiped off the map. If you’re considering rebuilding, you need to think about the pros and cons.
The City of Los Angeles has issued orders to bring relief to those rebuilding after the fires:
The city is dedicating a department solely focused on rebuilding, permitting, and construction. This applies to anyone affected by the disaster who wants to rebuild within 110% of their original footprint. For example, if you had a 1,000-square-foot home, you would be allowed to use this expedited process for a home up to 1,100 square feet.
