That's why a lot of people use the one wall rule. If you tear down a house but leave up one wall, its technically considered a remodel. Less red tape and less time needed in the approvals for remodels. People do it all the time in Lakewood and orange county.
At the end of the day, its all the red tape and regulation but that red tape and regulation comes form some where. Politicians who don't have a clue and jealous nimbys that are loud enough and rich enough to be heard. There are people trying to fight the gateway tower up above in long beach still and its already topped out. "The size of it has already slowed down traffic on ocean blvd because people are staring at it".... Says my best friends neighbor who lives 3 blocks away. its mind boggling. But under the same breathe she said its not fair that she couldn't afford a condo in it once its done. The world is full of idiots
