The ongoing wildfires have set off a stampede to find housing, leading some homeowners and property managers to raise rents higher than the 10% allowed during emergencies.

    Aren’t there a stupid number of homeless already in LA?

    Like hundreds of thousands?

    Seems to me to be more than enough could just organize and walk right into these empty residences

      No, why spread such bad info? This sounds like Fox news bullshit.

        Ok. 75k is way smaller than I thought, but enough that if they organized somehow they could get a lot accomplished by sheer numbers. But I don’t exactly know where one would start.

      You can’t walk right into a residence with a lock on the door and good luck smashing and climbing through the window of a 12th story apartment.

          How do you guarantee you’re picking the lock of an empty apartment or house? Who gets to decide who gets to occupy which home? What if three families all want to live in the same empty house? Do they fight it out? It’s really not that simple.
