"Gov. Gavin Newsom has responded to a social media post from President Trump saying the state was nearing approval of low-income housing in Pacific Palisades following January's firestorm, writing the claim is a "lie." On Tuesday, Trump took to Truth Social to say Newsom was "in the final stages of approval to build low income housing in Pacific Palisades. How unfair is that to the people that have suffered so much.""
"Facts: Applications for new urban lot splits and two-unit developments within the Palisades are banned by emergency order of the mayor. In July, the governor's office and the California Department of Housing and Community Development announced the state was providing $101 million to fund affordable multifamily rental housing projects that were ready to start building immediately. The projects would be located near L.A. County burn scars and included a preference for residents displaced by the January firestorm."
