LA fire victims fear new housing crisis

Thank Goodness Malibu Goat is safe.

Michael Storc and his family had just survived a devastating wildfire.

Now they have to face a daunting new challenge that he had hoped to never experience again – the Los Angeles housing market.

After losing the Altadena home that he owned in the Eaton fire, he was scouring for a new place to rent, and having little luck.

“What’s available is not nice at all and the rents have gone up a lot,” Mr Storc told the BBC. “I told my teenage daughter we had to accept we would live somewhere not very nice.”
