Gruesome Newsome strikes again. Executive order now says you can't have plants/trees/fences within 5 feet of your home. Why? Because a fire might happen. California is always on fire each year so you can't have plants.

Basically if your property is in a red zone on the map then you can't have a fence or plants next to the house. Map is on the below site (half way down the page "Find your Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) and local public contacts" https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/what-we-do/community-wildfire-preparedness-and-mitigation/fire-hazard-severity-zones

In the case of a wildfire, I doubt a 5 foot space between vegetation and a house will make much difference.

Seems like this is more pure leftist idiocy. Maybe a 25 foot space would help. But 5 feet? I don't think so.

So many shitty apartments and condos, just got worse. Now they cant even landscape around them effectively for shading and bit of green those residents get.

If it sticks, it will likely cause value shifts, up in non red, down in red. With some interesting pockets of non red vs non in the same area.

Yes it's all about taking away the value of any assets those darned conservative savers have tried to protect from inflation by keeping it out of the banks and putting it in property. Dems love to inflate away savings, and now they can take property values down with low income high density housing for all.
