Contractors, electricians, masons and other tradesmen are in such short supply that victims of the Southern California wildfires may have to wait years to rebuild their homes.
“Contractors are stretched thin today. In Southern California, business is healthy, and it's difficult to get good contractors in normal economic situations,” said LaDonna Monsees, vice chairman and president of La Jolla-based Newland Homes, a developer that sells lots to builders.
The wildfires destroyed more than 3,600 homes and killed 24 people.

(Isn't there some sort of 'line of decency' and morals that tells someone's inner sole to NOT say something like that while Americans are being burned to death?) Guess we won't hear that discussed in our Fascist Media.
2. Rebuilding quality is not going to be good because they're in a rush.
