The housing crisis in Los Angeles - Between homelessness and luxury real estate

Los Angeles' housing crisis is escalating dramatically. Those who can't find a place to live have to get creative - otherwise, survival becomes a daily struggle. Even before the devastating fires of January 2025, affordable housing was in short supply in Los Angeles. Even people earning an average full-time salary are at risk of ending up on the streets. In 2024, the number of homeless people in Los Angeles County was well over 75,000.
