Newsom, Cruz spar over executive order barring predatory real estate offers amid fires

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) sparred over a California executive order barring predatory real estate offers amid recent wildfires.

“Today, I signed an executive order prohibiting greedy land developers from ripping off LA wildfire victims with unsolicited, undervalued offers to buy their destroyed property,” Newsom said in a post on the social platform X Tuesday. “Make no mistake — this is a prosecutable crime.”

The executive order features actions like a three-month barring of “any unsolicited offer to an owner of real property” located in a number of zip codes affected by the wildfires. It also bans those in the Los Angeles area from purchasing or acquiring “any interest in the real property for an amount less than the fair market value of the property or interest in the property” prior to the fires breaking out.

Cruz took a shot at Newsom’s order in a post on X, saying it would only “hurt the victims” of the devastating fires.
