Thankful to be an American where we have the freedom to disagree.

The freedom to disagree, to practice differing philosophies, is critical to democracy.

When there’s only 1 idea... it almost always belongs to the state.

I might not agree with you, but thankfully we can disagree.

SB79, allowing up to 9 story apartments on single family lots, is NOW in effect for all of California. This overrides local zoning rules. I looked at whether Pacific Palisades is impacted because of the fire risk.

I believe the answer is NO.

1) You must be within 1/2 mile of a stop served by very frequent bus service meeting the state’s “major transit stop” definition. After recent changes in state law, that generally means buses arriving every 20 minutes or less during peak commute periods, often with multiple qualifying routes intersecting at the same location. A typical LA Metro Local bus stop that sees one route every 30–60 minutes would not qualify.

2) You must NOT live in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.

So effectively 0% of Pacific Palisades are both within 1/2 mile of a qualifying SB79 stop AND outside the VHFHSZ.

With that said, WATCH for local and state politicians to lobby for more of these bus stops. Especially around sunset or PCH. Just a hunch.

And keep your eye on your local area. More housing is NOT a bad thing, but 9 stories on a single family lot is breathtakingly a lot.

Sincerely,
Jeremy Padawer

Good morning.

A new collecting rabbit hole. And a BIG ONE. Graded vinyl. There are two companies in the space - Steve Aoki’s AMG (I’m an investor) and VMG. Both great for music, great for collecting; Both managed by music fanatics, passionate about the genre. I recently picked up some graded Dragon Ball, One Piece and Pokémon. A mix of rarities, limited releases and grails. Let’s talk about this relatively new category!

@415FirePhoto @USAttyEssayli This is the best use of social media. I applaud both the US Attorney and our plaintiff attorney for this use. Thank you. We’re all in the same fight for JUST outcomes.

[Jeremy Padawer @JeremyCom]

Justice must be JUST. Transparent. Proportional. Fair. And not just convenient. In the Palisades arson case, unless the prosecutors are willing to tell the larger story of government gross negligence, they will fail to convict.

The fire burned on state ground for 7 DAYS, poorly attended with limited intervention, a known wind threat looming followed by limited water, people, fire apparatus. The state’s rules on fighting fire limited the fight. The milkvetch weed was prioritized over life itself. They couldn’t drop fire retardant or mud from under the plant itself. They left despite clear warnings from city and state workers that the rocks were hot to the touch AND smoke billowing. They used no technology to test hot spots.

I understand the desire to point to a clear fire starter. But, when you don’t tell the entire story. And also emphasize that the accused called authorities a dozen times to report the fire, you wonder to what extent this individual is ALSO a helpful scapegoat.

The government could try this case 20 times and not convict. Not until they tell the entire story.

Jurors tend to be far more perceptive than prosecutors give them credit for being.

Jeremy Padawer

@USAttyEssayli @BoredElonMusk And THIS is why you will fail to convict. I’m not against your desire for justice. Without transparency to mitigating issues, you will fail to achieve any conviction. In 25 years, when you’re wrapping up your career, you will more clearly see the reality of this.

[Jeremy Padawer @JeremyCom]

They could try the Palisades arson case 20 times and fail to convict 20 times.

Why? Because until the extraordinary gross negligence of our city and state is part of the conversation, there will never be proportionality in accountability. We underestimate the intelligence of a jury.

Whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty doesn’t change the fact that multiple independent failures by city and state allowed this fire to become one of the worst disasters in California history.

Until the prosecutor honestly and transparently addresses “How did a single ignition become a catastrophe?” this will not convince a jury.

@415FirePhoto @Hotshot_Movie @spencerpratt @BoredElonMusk

[F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli @USAttyEssayli]

Holding the person who ignited the fire criminally liable is not a “distraction,” it’s justice.

Civil lawyers mislead the public by suggesting that holding an arsonist accountable will absolve other parties of liability. Multiple parties can be held accountable under civil law. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Evidence shows only one person is responsible for igniting the fire. Arson is an extremely serious offense because once started, a fire’s destructiveness is unpredictable. People would still have their homes today had Jonathan Rinderknecht not started his fire on January 1, 2025.

[Jeremy Padawer @JeremyCom]

The first fire was bungled to a massive degree by the city and state leadership. Here’s what would be fair. Speak to that. Focus on the entire truth. 1) Here’s the evidence on the accused. 2) Here’s the reason the fire burned for 7 days and then couldn’t be properly put out. Let the jury decide proportionally what his penalty should be. That’s justice.

[Jeremy Padawer @JeremyCom]

@415FirePhoto @USAttyEssayli This is exactly right. If they can substitute “arsonist” for “hurricane force winds” or “climate change” they will happily do so.

[Jeremy Padawer @JeremyCom]

Here’s the reality.

If the accused is ultimately convicted of intentional arson, I suspect our Mayor and Governor will replace “climate change” and “hurricane-force winds” with “arsonist.”

If the accused is acquitted, I suspect they’ll simply double down on climate change and hurricane-force winds.

But here’s the truth…

1. Gross negligence by our city and state is independent of the arson case. When leadership refuses to accept accountability, no meaningful lessons are learned. That means this will happen again. Other communities will burn because of inadequate water infrastructure, poor brush clearance, insufficient emergency staffing, or inoperable equipment.

2. Our case against government leadership does not depend on the outcome of the criminal trial. Guilty. Not guilty. Hung jury. It doesn’t change the central question… whether those responsible for preparing for and responding to this disaster fulfilled their obligations.

One thing is certain.
Even if the accused intentionally set the fire, he reportedly contacted authorities to report it… multiple times. From that point forward, so much responsibility shifted to the agencies tasked with extinguishing it. According to testimony, crews encountered warnings such as “rocks hot to the touch” and “tree stumps still smoldering,” yet left under orders. The fire was not fully extinguished before it later grew into catastrophe.

If the evidence proves the accused intentionally set the fire, I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison.

And WHEN the evidence proves our city and state acted with gross negligence, I hope they are held fully accountable as well… civilly.

Real accountability is the only path to real policy change.
