John back with us on Monday.

So the latest now on the effort to buy some in Sacramento, by many in Sacramento, in fact, to reimagine Pacific Palisades before we start moving shovels, move on earth, and putting sticks in the ground.

And a lot of people are really concerned about the Senate bill, Senate bill 549, the author of the bill,

Senator Allen said in a statement that it would be best to pause it, given all the feedback,

and take the time to, quote, get it right. Jamie Page writes for the Westside Current,

westsidecurrent.com. She's been following all of this.

Jamie, thanks for spending time with us. If he's pausing on legislation for a year,

that does not bode well for the people who want to be done or far along with being done

and getting their house back a year from now.

I'm not sure they need this committee to move forward.

In fact, I think most people think this committee or this bill, which would form the committee,

would get in its own way.

That's been a local pushback with this bill.

So Jessica Rogers is president of the Pacific Palisades Resident Association. She's been on record as saying, look, we don't want new zoning. We don't want to reimagine

Pacific Palisades. This is our home. These are our homes. This is our community. All we want

to do is go back to the way it was before the terrible fire in January. What is wrong with just doing that? Just leave it alone and let people rebuild what was there. Yeah, I think that's the common sentiment. I don't think I know among most residents. And just to take a few steps back, I talked to Senator Allen when folks got word of this bill,

they got word of it through Councilwoman Tracy Park.

She's the local city councilwoman who represents the area.
