It wasn't an election year, but politics populated Los Angeles real estate headlines in 2023. The luxury market was roiled by the Measure ULA transfer tax; a new mayoral administration tackled the homelessness issue; and lingering scandals from prior years marched toward resolution. Meanwhile, the staple of L.A. news celebrity deals for megamansions reported a record price this year, despite the overall slump in the market. And a well-publicized Airbnb tenant found a way to live in Brentwood without paying anything.
Elizabeth Hirschhorn was nicknamed the tenant from hell by the global press. She had booked an Airbnb guesthouse in Los Angeles' exclusive Brentwood neighborhood in September 2021, but after the 180-day contract ended, she managed to stay in the unit and declined to pay rent.
