Rogan & Adam Carolla: California Red Tape Exposed

California over-regulation vs. real people trying to rebuild.
In this 9-minute conversation, Joe Rogan and Adam Carolla break down why getting a home or property rebuilt in Pacific Palisades can feel impossible—permits, hearings, overlapping agencies, and a maze of building codes that stretch timelines and inflate costs.

We look at what “over-regulation” actually means in practice: multiple inspections, environmental reviews, coastal and city approvals, and how small delays stack into months. Rogan presses for plain-English explanations; Carolla shares first-hand experiences with permits, red tape, and bureaucracy—plus what reforms could speed things up without sacrificing safety.

This channel is about clarity over outrage: direct, evidence-led conversations that help you understand why systems fail and where solutions might start. If you care about accountability, smarter policy, and cutting through noise, you’re in the right place.
