Why Los Angeles Should Densify Urban Housing for Wildfire Resilience

01/13/25

“Why should Los Angeles densify the amount of urban housing for wildfire resilience?”

Los Angeles is experiencing rent gouging with the ongoing wildfires. The tight housing supply makes it more difficult for people to find appropriate housing at an affordable rate. But if the city densifies its urban housing stock, it can create more vacancies away from fire zones that people can move into in times of crisis. This is Why Los Angeles Should Densify Urban Housing for Wildfire Resilience.
