Briefly

The Los Angeles area wildfires have left thousands homeless, leading to a housing crisis in untouched neighborhoods like Orange County and the South Bay.

High-demand areas like Newport Beach and Manhattan Beach see homes claimed almost immediately, and community efforts are emerging to support the influx.
