On the news today it was indicated that an estimated 5% of housing has been lost in the fire. According to the census there are 68,000 housing units, which includes single family and apartments. This is a loss of some 3,400 housing units which totally blows my mind. This does not include the many commercial structures lost. And the fire is not contained.Yeah, rental market pressure is already insane in the Bay area, and this certainly doesn't help.
With 'winter' coming up, there will be some scrambling / gouging going on and the State should step in for those in need (no insurance coverage, etc.).
Apparently you can already camp at surrounding State Parks for free if you are affected.
I have heard that the first action of some who lost their homes was to sign a lease for a rental place. Smart thinking, IMO.
