- Price gouging has been a big problem, especially in the wake of the Palisades and Eaton Fires. One Google spread sheet tracking more than 1,200 rental prices across the county shows increases upwards of 100%. On Your Side's Kristine Lazar looks into the issue and has tips for renters.
There are some real scumbags out there.
😊 those are the homeless drug addicts taking advantage of the locals
If you’re talking to someone on a chat where you know their 100% anonymous then that’s also a big red flag.
If more actions were taken against scammers then something can be done. There are so many causes that can be corrected.
Years ago when I lived in California, I saw this especially on Craigslist, and I would report them. Craigslist did not care.
I have always told folks that if the images look professional, like the house is staged for sale, use a search engine to check out the property address.
These POS's will use images from real estate sites. Also, if their discription is not proper English, they are usually an outsourced scammer. Never, ever send money. Ever.
The feds need to do their job to help stop this, and our judicial system needs to do their jobs which they fail at most of the time.
"desperate to find a home"
*Looking at places with $11k - $13k a month rent*
Oh wow I really feel for these poor victims who've been one of the key reasons for high real estate prices and nimby nonsense in LA for decades
Rent 13 grand 11 grand and you wondering why so many homeless people on the streets a whole month of work for me I make $2000
You make that a week or a month I live in north California
The homeless on the street here are almost entirely people who found out there's cheap drugs, nice weather, and high tolerance/low to zero punishment for their activities
@@bfourneySo every single homeless person Is on drugs That is not fair the lump every homeless person with someone on drugs Clearly see people with financial freedom and the money to rent apartments having problems finding places
Get use to it 6 years later after the Campfire 2018 and the surrounding areas are still garbage trying to find a place to live reasonably price.
people need to leave california, its so horrible here
They scammed my son in law they took his money from the bank
What ridiculous persecution of the renters, 😮. So there's supposed to be a charity? And lose money when the price of their property just went through the roof because it's in demand. Their insurance is going to go up. The price of these houses is going through the roof, so they're entitled to charge whatever the hell the community is going to pay. Or they can sell and they can't hold them as price gougers then
They will be judged someday
Unrelated to content: love the red shades!
What’s with the 1980s football Music?
Just think about about all the wildlife, trees ECT that lost their lives by developers building apartment, houses ect
Greed. Awful.
sheeeesh
Victims? They choose to live in a fire prone area, 100% at fault in their won situation. This is not a victim at all. Price gouging, you mean supply and demand? Such good people in LA.
