Do the wildfires force real estate prices higher long term, because of reduced supply and long rebuild times
Or, do prices go lower because thousands leave the area or even the state, reducing demand?

I’m in an area not usually impacted by Santa Ana winds, other than an inconvenience now and then
Winds have blown open an unlocked door, palm fronds are screaming down the street, and humidity is so low the electronic clock / weather gadgets can’t even display a reading

Just landed in Fiji and there was a plane (I’m assuming a Boeing) with “United States of America’ and an American flag on the tail. It wasn’t a VC-25a. Local police stopped traffic for the dignitaries.
Any idea who it might be?

The elusive deep-water oarfish – considered to be a harbinger of bad news – was spotted yet again on the shores of Encinitas, California. It was the state’s third spotting of the species in the last three months, and only the 22nd over the past century.
The ‘doomsday fish’ returns to California shores for the second time this year. Scientists don’t know why. | CNN
Considered to be the origin of the sea serpent tale, giant oarfish are a species yet to be largely researched by scientists.

If Donald Trump follows through on his promised tariffs, the United States will likely trade much, much less with other countries. But what about the rest of the world?
What’s Left of Globalization Without the US?
Many countries will make up for lost US trade by trading more with each other.

Last time trump was president, woke up every morning and immediately started doom scrolling, wondering what stupid thing he said or did while California was still asleep. When he lost on 2020, it literally felt like a weight had been lifted.

That's right. No syntax highlighting. No copilot. Just plain text. 🤪
