Wildfire victims want to rebuild with natural materials. Some say L.A. County is making it onerous
L.A. County officials signaled interest in rebuilding in fire zones with natural materials, such as adobe, but advocates say their policies make it nearly impossible.

There are any number of ways to keep Altadena affordable.
Ban single-family detached dwellings.
Ban off-street parking.
Build 6-story affordable housing on scattered sites.
The aim here is to maintain the area's high social status via exclusion. Based on uncool-ness rather than income or race.
