I cannot understate how appalling and helpless it feels as a Jew that this is being done under the guise of fighting antisemitism.

Wildfires bring pollution hazards for unhoused people in LA: β€˜Like breathing in lead’ As officials urge people to stay indoors, those experiencing homelessness struggle to shield themselves from toxic air

There are 52,000+ unsheltered people in Los Angeles facing toxic air and fire hazards. Winds are destroying tents and structures. City says it’s made available *135 hotel vouchers.* Advocates say they can’t access them

β€œIt feels like you’re breathing in lead + you can see what you’re breathing in”

An already tight Los Angeles rental housing market, pushed to its limits by a natural disaster, shouldn’t be an opportunity to gouge victims of that natural disaster, no matter how much Richard Green and Stuart Gabriel would like you to think that this is simply the housing market at work.

Rents likely to balloon in wake of L.A. wildfires, experts say Rents will go up as thousands of displaced homeowners and tenants hit an already tight market, analysts and advocates said. Insurance costs, contracting and permitting are among the myriad of stressor...

Why will rents balloon? Who will raise the rents? Who will be profiting off of disaster, experts? Passive voice is doing some serious work here, @latimes.com. www.latimes.com/homeless-hou...
