In the aftermath of the Palisades fire, residents of the Tahitian Terrace and Palisades Bowl mobile home parks are grappling with profound loss and uncertainty about their future housing. Clove Galilee expresses the emotional toll of the disaster, highlighting how support dwindles after the initial outpouring. With over 300 homes destroyed, these residents owned their homes but faced the dilemma of leasing land and potential displacement due to rising property values. They fear being priced out of their community, emphasizing the critical need for affordable housing preservation in Pacific Palisades.
"It's like a death in a family. Everyone's like, 'Oh, can I help you?' for the first month. And then? Time goes on. And all of these people are still going to be struggling."
"This is, for many people, the one place that they can still live on the Westside. That's our plea, to protect that and allow us to come back."
