UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate

Following last month’s devastating urban wildfires, Los Angeles faces enormous challenges of rebuilding homes, lives, and infrastructure. The City of Los Angeles and County of Los Angeles, with State and Federal resources and support, will undertake this massive task. But the price tag will be equally massive. In this February 2025 UCLA Economic Letter, "RESILIENT RECOVERY: INNOVATIVE FINANCIAL TOOLS FOR LA'S POST-DISASTER RECONSTRUCTION," UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate Board Chair Lewis Feldman and Stuart A. Gabriel, Distinguished Professor of Finance in the UCLA Anderson School of Management and Ziman Center Director, suggest funding solutions and rebuilding strategies for Los Angeles’ communities destroyed by fires.

Hi All. We need your help! RCLCO Real Estate Consulting has launched a Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire Resident Rebuilding Survey and needs to reach residents and business owners! The purpose of these surveys - a collaborative effort between Urban Land Institute, the?UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate, and?USC Lusk Center for Real Estate - is to listen directly to the residents and businesses impacted by the fires to ensure that elected officials, policy makers, and rebuilding authorities’ response is both effective and aligns with needs and preferences. The survey will assess intentions and means of residents impacted by the Palisades and Eaton Fire relative to rebuilding their homes.?The results of this comprehensive, anonymous, and statistically significant survey will inform elected officials and policymakers regarding where and how to prioritize their efforts, ultimately helping to facilitate the rebuilding and recovery from the fires as quickly, as well and as cost effectively, as possible. Please sign up below or pass this along to anyone you know affected. Thank you!

The city owns about 1,000 of these lots and plans to sell off about 10 of them as part of its demonstration project."
