LOS ANGELES (AP) — A surge in demand for housing in the Los Angeles area has been observed following the devastating wildfires that displaced tens of thousands of residents. The region, known for its high cost of living and limited housing supply, is now facing increased competition for rentals.
Residents like Heather McAlpine, who lost her home in the fires, are struggling to find affordable housing. The fires destroyed over 16,000 structures in upscale Pacific Palisades and working-class Altadena, exacerbating the housing crisis in the area.
