LA Mayor attempting to ease building permit process

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa And Counsel Member Eric Garcetti announced on Wed a plan to streamline the process for getting building permits approved, the current process is incredibly time consuming anti growth. The new process will reduce the number of agencies involved from 12 to 2 and put the majority of the responsibility on The Department of Building safety and Public Works. The move is an effort to stimulate economic growth and the creation of Jobs. Several Local news sources have reported on this action and additional information is available from the mayor's office.

This will be a time consuming process to get this initiative approved although the mayor wants to fast track this plan. There will be opposition but I believe that this is a plus for local homeowners and contractors who have been waiting patiently for approval on their projects

It is great because it can speed everything up and make it easier to get permits and what not but at the same time building a house is something that should take some time and not be rushed together thats how mistakes happen :-\
