This mom loves the buzz of her Palisades neighborhood rising from the ashes

In a recent interview with The Los Angeles Times, Bass criticized the responses to the Palisades and Eaton fires, stating that both sides 'botched it' during a casual conversation with a podcast host after the program concluded.

Amalia Atayde, a housekeeper in the Palisades, lost her job due to the recent fires that devastated the area. Despite her struggles to find new employment, she remains hopeful as the community begins to rebuild, with homes being reconstructed and the potential for her cleaning services to be needed again.

The Eaton and Palisades wildfires have been extensively covered by the Los Angeles Times, highlighting the devastating impact these fires had on local communities and the challenges faced during the recovery process. Reports have documented the timeline of events, emergency responses, and the aftermath, including the rebuilding efforts and health implications for residents.

Following the Palisades fire, Mayor Karen Bass has faced criticism for the execution of recovery strategies, which have reportedly faltered, leading to diminished confidence in the rebuilding process.
