President Donald Trump is set to visit wildfire-affected areas around Los Angeles, post-disaster. His visit has sparked political tension but also potential for bipartisan efforts in rebuilding. With at least 16,600 properties affected and reconstruction costs exceeding $13 billion, experts express concerns that Trump's immigration and tariff policies may inflate construction costs. Despite his promises to expedite rebuilding, the housing industry fears an increase in expenses, complicating efforts to address the housing shortage exacerbated by the wildfires.
"I'm going to go out there on Friday to see it and to get it moving back. We're going to get some of the best builders in the world."
"The tariff and deportation agenda the Trump administration has promised will certainly raise construction costs during a moment of great need for new homes."
