The recent wildfires in Los Angeles are creating a profound impact on the city's apartment rental market. Nearly 200,000 residents have been displaced, with thousands still under evacuation orders. Over 14,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed, driving up demand for housing in an already tight market. As a result, rent prices in affected neighborhoods have soared by as much as 35%. ? As displaced residents scramble to find new homes, the housing crisis in LA is intensifying. This tragic event underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions to address the city's ongoing housing shortage. #LosAngeles #HousingCrisis #Wildfires #RealEstate #RentalMarket https://lnkd.in/gr6b2a4q Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the devastating wildfires.

Of the growing number of Portland mayoral candidates, it seems only Keith Wilson has a detailed 1-year business plan for ending unsheltered homelessness. The others may verbalize everyone’s discontent with the tents, RVs, trash, graffiti and crime, but talking about the problems isn’t the same as writing down the steps to fixing them. And going above and beyond a written plan, Keith even created a working model to demonstrate its mechanism. And at $16/night/person under his program, versus $189/night under the current “Safe Rest Village” solution, we should all be wondering what’s causing the disparity. Every successful commercial real estate broker I know writes an annual business plan on what they will do for the year. The business of fixing unsheltered homelessness is no different from other businesses— you need an actual plan, or nothing will get accomplished. We need a results oriented mayor.

#Wildlifecrossings “ In the U.S., there are currently more than 1,000 wildlife crossings and counting, largely thanks to a recent influx of federal, private and philanthropic funds. So far, data shows they are highly effective; one study found that crossings on Highway 9 through the Blue River Valley in Colorado reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by nearly 90 percent. These structures can be expensive to build, costing between $500,000 and $6 million, but recent research suggests that the money saved by avoiding crashes recoups the costs in just a few years, along with potentially saving lives. ” https://lnkd.in/eTAP5mB9

?? MasterPlan Construction recently donated 100 solar generators to Tampa's hurricane relief efforts. This initiative exemplifies corporations' role in cultivating social responsibility by addressing community needs. ?? Among the most impacted by such disasters are single-parent families who often struggle with stable housing and managing household expenses on a single income.
