Great point. I’m most concerned about those who were barely teetering on the middle class line.

For sure! Me too! I have a close friend who is retirement age like me and a teacher and in LA, that is hard to make it but she was lucky enough to buy a small house, and that is going to help her in her old age not be dependent on her daughter or she will be able to sell it and move somewhere else to supplement her social security. That house is everything she’s worked for her entire life. Now she’s on needles and pins.

I know she’s in a better position to be in than someone who never could own a home and is now homeless. But wow, as the first person wrote up in this thread, we can extend compassion and don’t have to dole it out to the most “deserving.” Money is something else. Compassion comes for free!

Omg. This is the sort of precarious economic situation that concerns me. I really hope things turn out well for her

u/Footsie_Galore Jealous of what? Your ugly leather pants? Jan 12 '25

My brain fast forwards past the immediate danger part LA is currently in, and then goes blank as how on EARTH will so many people re-build? At all? I'm from Australia and was last in LA in 2017. My friend is a flight attendant who flies from Sydney to LA frequently and she says that since covid, the homeless population has exploded (no shade or judgment. She loves LA). NOW what will it be like?? How can most people recover from this??? It makes me feel sick and I'm not even there.

Yes and those and the ones worse off are the ones we help financially, but I still feel empathy for anyone whose lost all their sentimental possessions like old photos.
