Landlords gouge victims of LA fires The devastating fires in Los Angeles have killed 24 people.

1. CAUGHT ON ZILLOW

Popular Information has identified dozens of LA landlords who jacked up rents by as much as 100% after the fires started and thousands of people lost their homes.

California's price gauging law prohibits increasing rent by more than 10% during a state of emergency

New resource for folks impact by #PalisadesFires #EatonFire and #LAWildfires

A step-by-step checklist for homeowners who lost their properties. Info is confusing (do you apply to insurance or FEMA first?). Lets make it easier for our community to recover.

More guides to come.

Hey @nytimes.com, the 2000s called and they want their old, battered cliche back.

I know I keep screaming this into the void but just because climate change isn’t the *only* factor contributing to an extreme event doesn’t mean it’s not *a* factor. Literally nothing on Earth is unaffected by the changing climate.

This is the right take. Burying our heads in the sand and giving up condemns future generations to even more suffering. Every bit of decarbonization today reduces that future pain. It’s a moral imperative.

We lost our home and everything we own in the Eaton Canyon fire. Climate change is real and it’s a bitch.

How Germany outfitted half a million balconies with solar panels The country’s residents installed 200MW of balcony solar during the first half of 2024. It’s becoming an increasingly popular way to take climate action…

Hey y'all: is anyone out there thinking about what enabling policy/regulation it would take to permit balcony solar in the USA? Shouldnt we? (Context www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...). πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘

Big buildings are a climate problem. These policies aim to fix that. In New York City and St. Louis, innovative laws meant to curb emissions from buildings are kicking in this year. More states and cities will soon follow.
