How does the post-fire housing market in Altadena reflect broader issues of affordability and gentrification?

The influx of developers into fire-ravaged Altadena is driven by high demand and the availability of affordable land, compared to pre-fire prices which were over \$1 million. This contrasts sharply with the desires of many longtime residents to rebuild and maintain the community's unique character and diversity, particularly given that over 60% of Black households were located within the burn area, and nearly half were destroyed or suffered major damage.

How does the Spanish government's response to the post-flood situation balance humanitarian concerns with economic needs?

This regularization plan, while driven by labor needs, also responds to the humanitarian crisis caused by the floods, which left thousands homeless and jobless. The 25,000 immigrants, many already working informally, will be eligible for aid and are considered valuable for rebuilding efforts. The measure follows a similar one implemented after the 2004 Madrid train bombings.
