Spencer Pratt's social media posts falsely claimed that Senate Bill 549 allows L.A. County to buy burned lots for low-income housing and to bypass zoning laws. His assertions have sparked significant misinformation, overshadowing discussions on the proposed wildfire rebuilding plan by L.A. County. The plan aims to establish a new authority for purchasing burned properties and providing rebuilding options at discounted prices for original owners. State Senator Benjamin Allen expressed concern that important policy discussions are being drowned out by misinformation and memes circulating on social media and right-wing platforms.
This is a common sense post.” Pratt misrepresented the content of Senate Bill 549, claiming it would enable L.A. County to push dense reconstruction and bypass local zoning decisions.
The misinformation frenzy linked to Pratt’s videos has overshadowed legitimate discussions about wildfire recovery and rebuilding proposals from L.A. County leaders.
Under the plan, a new local authority would buy burned lots, aiming to rebuild homes and offer them back at discounted rates to original owners.
Sen. Benjamin Allen emphasizes that the discussions about the bill's intention have been lost in exaggerations, stating it is unfortunate that lazy journalism perpetuated these claims.
