#LAFires Could Transform Former #Rocketdyne Site into #FEMATrailerPark

January 2025

"#Radiation and chemical vapors on 47-acre #CanogaPark site are too toxic for housing, but could be mitigated to safely house residents displaced by January 2025 fires in above-ground trailers.

- Gross site contamination and development encumbrances prohibit residential housing
- Hundreds of #FEMATrailers, mobile homes and even shipping containers could be placed on site safely and temporarily house thousands of #LosAngeles disaster victims [Or maybe a potential #DetentionCenter? Hmmmm...]
- Efforts to clean up polluted west Valley groundwater could emulate 2024 agreement to remediate fouled east Valley aquifer and provide billions of gallons of clean water

"The former Rocketdyne Canoga Park facility in the western #SanFernandoValley is so contaminated that it is nearly impossible to build anything on it other than light industry even though a developer wanted to construct homes on the site.

"#Chemicals and #radiation severely contaminate the land and #groundwater in and around the site according to documentation obtained by EnviroReporter.com.

"According to astonishing information never before covered in the media, areas offsite and around #RocketdyneCanoga are hot with high amounts of gross alpha and uranium radiation."

Getting all the new small and big electricity producers and new consumers safely into existing grids requires upscaling the capacity at least for the "last mile" in most societies.
Germany's heating in apartment houses used to be electric with nightly heat storage in the olden days, so these old local grids can take on new consumers like heatpumps and eVespas or ebikes without additional hardware.

But for most countries or even most German local grids this will not be the case – and the population will have to pay one way or another for the necessary grid extension.

And #copper prices will soar because of the still prevailing neoliberal commodity speculation and because of mining companies not reacting according to Paris Agreement, ie not expanding their operations on time, while every country now races toward electrifying everything at the same time.

Reducing #energy demand is a necessary consequence in light of the fact that every 3 years at current emissions we add another 0.1C to global warming.
Reducing energy demand immediately means, less raw and manufactured material is needed to get the remaining energy use carbon-free. It also means, less time is needed – which translates to less CO2.

The discussion around #LAFires needs to include the boundary of sustainable furnished and heated/cooled living space: 35sqm per person plus 15 per additional person.

See for example https://www.boell.de/en/2020/12/09/societal-transformation-scenario-staying-below-15degc and cited literature therein.

Why am I pointing this out when my post is about electrifying and raw material shortages and price hikes at dwindling #CO2budget?
Because heeding #sustainability guidelines saves raw material. And it lowers material and energy demand. It even gets rid of cars because it reduces distance between home and work place.

We need to include the guidelines in the debate. And what better moment than when emotions are high due to a horrible disaster? It's the moment when memories are formed. Let the memories be how we managed to get where we are today, and how we might be able to stabilise climate and mass extinction at a manageable level.

This side of the story has to be told by scientists we trust. Politicians won't be tabling it – before these 35sqm become public knowledge.

#Landlords gouge victims of #LAFires

by Judd Legum and Noel Sims, Jan 14, 2025

"The devastating fires in Los Angeles have killed 24 people. The fires have burned tens of thousands of acres, and hundreds of thousands of #Angelenos have been forced to evacuate. The blaze has destroyed at least 12,000 structures and thousands of people have nowhere to live.

"For most people, this is a horrific tragedy. But numerous landlords in the area are treating it as a #MoneyMaking opportunity.

"A review of rental listings revealed dozens of properties where the landlords have sharply increased their prices since the fires began on January 7. Popular Information used Zillow to identify rental homes in communities near the areas impacted by the fires — including #PacificPalisades, #SantaMonica, #ManhattanBeach, #HuntingtonBeach, and the #SanFernandoValley — that have increased their asking price over the last week.

"While not every rent increase is evidence of #exploitation, the timing and scale of many increases strongly suggest #PriceGouging is occurring.

"In Manhattan Beach, for example, Popular Information identified a five-bedroom home listed on December 31, 2024, for $8,750 per month. By Monday, the rent was bumped up 125 percent to $19,750 monthly.

"But it is not only luxury properties with ocean views whose prices have skyrocketed in the last week.

"A three-bedroom home in #Tujunga, listed for $4,100 on December 28, was increased to $8,500 on January 7, the day the Pacific Palisades fire broke out, 93 percent higher than its initial listing price."
