When disaster strikes, most people rush to help. But for some politicians, a crisis is just too good to waste. Across America, we’re seeing a troubling pattern where the government swoops in after tragedy – not just to rebuild, but to remake communities in their own vision.

It’s a story as old as time. The powerful taking advantage when regular Americans are at their weakest. Remember how they said “we’re from the government, and we’re here to help”? Well, those might be the scariest words in the English language, as President Reagan once warned.

From Breitbart:

Local residents were outraged Tuesday after the California State Senate passed legislation that would create a new layer of local government to buy burned lots in L.A. for the purpose of building low-income housing…

“Absolutely insane proposal to further screw our neighbor. When will we stop voting for these dangerous people and wake up?!?” one resident posted on a community chat.

Another replied: “I have no problem with middle income living in newly constructed apartments. I grew up working class and lived among teachers, insurance salespeople, small business owners and other hard-working people. We all had a hard work ethic and were respectful to each other. That is a lot different than what current politicians are proposing for the area.”

California lawmakers just showed their true colors. The State Senate passed a bill that will let Los Angeles County buy up land where homes burned down in recent wildfires. Instead of helping owners rebuild their houses, they want to put up low-income housing projects.

The sneaky part? This whole plan came from a “Blue Ribbon Commission” that met in secret. Homeowners in places like Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena didn’t know what was happening until it was too late.

Residents Fight Back

People who lost everything in the fires are furious. One resident posted online: “Absolutely insane proposal to further screw our neighbor. When will we stop voting for these dangerous people and wake up?!?”

Another homeowner pointed out the difference between mixed-income neighborhoods of the past and what’s being proposed now: “I have no problem with middle income living in newly constructed apartments… That is a lot different than what current politicians are proposing for the area.”

The Center Square reported that qualifying housing projects must provide “at least 40% of its units for the homeless, or individuals who have spent at least 15 days in ‘jails, hospitals, prisons, and institutes of mental disease.'”

Some locals suspect something even more sinister. They believe government officials deliberately slowed down fire response and rebuilding permits to force homeowners to give up and sell their land cheaply.

Your Property, Their Plan

Governor Gavin Newsom is all in on this scheme. He recently set aside $101 million in taxpayer money for low-income housing in these same fire zones. That’s right – while actual homeowners struggle to rebuild because they were underinsured, the government is using tax dollars to transform their neighborhoods.

The timing is suspicious too. Newsom is testing the waters for a presidential run, and stealing from the “haves” to give to the “have-nots” plays well with today’s radical Democratic voters.

What’s happening in California is textbook socialism. Take property from one group, redistribute it to another, and call it “progress.” Never mind that the Constitution protects private property rights. Never mind that these homeowners paid their taxes and insurance for years.

Tomiquia Moss, from California’s housing agency, claims this will improve “household stability and health outcomes.” But whose households? Certainly not the families who just lost their homes and now might lose their land too.

The Larger Threat

This isn’t just a California problem. It’s a warning for all Americans. Today it’s wildfire victims in wealthy neighborhoods. Tomorrow it could be flood victims in your community, or tornado survivors in the Midwest.

The message is clear: Your property is only yours until the government decides they have a “better” use for it. And they’re not above using a tragedy to take it.

If Californians don’t fight back at the ballot box, this bill will soon become law. The State Assembly votes on it next, and Newsom is ready with his signing pen.

For families who lost everything in the flames, this government land grab might be even more devastating than the fires themselves. Their American Dream is going up in smoke – and this time, the government is lighting the match.
