Always disappointing to watch people take advantage of others in the wake of disaster. Landlords began ejecting long-time tenants because FEMA was offering nearly double their current rate--no questions asked. As the apartments filled with FEMA tenants, rents everywhere else were raised to the new standard, suddenly pricing lots of people out of a place to live. This is really adding insult to injury for those already suffering from the impact of the wildfires.

Easy fix. Ban landlords.
