Since it's a retweet of a tweet I would dig deeper. So I did.
It's true that the city of Los Angeles is only issued 2. However the county of Los Angeles has issued 90. Still, those are both a fraction of the applications that have been submitted.
I know the governor in the mayor have issued executive orders to help speed up the process and also set up a permitting shop close to the location to help speed things along. Unfortunately, even with that it seems to be moving at a snail's pace.
Having been through the process myself in a highly populated suburban area the process can take months. It will never be fast enough for anyone. But it's one of those things that we need to ensure that the buildings we are working and living in are safe for us to do so.
TLDR it sucks but it's just the bureaucracy at work.
Ultimately yes.
It sucks when you're trying to get your home or business built but it's good when the house you live in doesn't burn to the ground because of faulty wiring, or your business falling over because of improper materials, and all the other tragedies that could befall people when corners are cut in the construction process.
Hopefully AI speeds things up in the coming years.
