Mauricio Umansky, a California real estate mogul, emphasizes the urgent need for collaboration between California and federal government to rebuild Los Angeles following devastating wildfires. He highlights the severe housing crisis affecting those displaced by the fires, noting that demand for housing far exceeds supply, leading to emotional distress for families who have lost everything. The rebuilding efforts require federal financial support alongside existing state relief packages to effectively address the crisis. Umansky's firm, The Agency, is actively involved in helping clients find housing, but faces significant challenges in this environment.
