... cold night. Where will these people go in a city with a housing shortage?

People are buying up condos to use them as Air BnB preries and not rent them to tenants. If you use Air BnB you are part of the problem.

... these unfortunate people from the fires in any way.
I rarely use AirBnB but the last few times we rented primary residences only. Otherwise, I’d rather go to a hotel.

Terrifying photo. Hope no one was injured and good luck to everyone who now has to piece their lives back together. Be safe.
