Instead of the usual wood framing, they’re working with a material typically associated with freeways and skyscrapers: concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only 7% of homes nationwide are currently built with concrete, \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.nahb.org/blog/2024/08/share-of-wood-framed-homes-dips-in-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>according\u003c/u>\u003c/a> to the National Association of Home Builders. But experts say this hardy, non-combustible material could become more popular in areas with high fire risk, such as the Los Angeles County neighborhoods where thousands of homes were destroyed in January 2025. While concrete doesn’t make a home totally fire-proof, insurance companies are recognizing its safety benefits by offering homeowners lower premiums. While cost has been a barrier in the past, some homeowners say the expense of concrete now compares favorably with wood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One recent morning on the Sunset Mesa lot where her home burned down, Karen Martinez adjusted her hard hat and flipped through the blueprints for her new home. Martinez has overseen the building process for many of her previous homes. But this will be her first project using concrete blocks. Technically called insulating composite concrete forms, the bulky gray blocks stacked all over her property are lighter than they appear. “It’s about 87% polystyrene and 13% cement,” said Martinez. “Basically they’re non-combustible. So in a fire, you’re pretty much safe from the walls burning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez said there are other benefits beyond fire safety: she said the material can withstand earthquakes, and it won’t get termites because it contains no wood. Martinez saw the need to do things differently. The hardest part, she said, was getting others on board. Securing permits from L.A. County, talking her architect into using this kind of concrete, even helping her neighbors with plans for their own concrete homes. It all took some convincing. “Most architects and contractors don’t know how to use it,” Martinez said. “All they know is wood and maybe steel. It’s hard to convince people to change their ways. That’s my goal. I’m trying to just educate people and say that there are better ways to build.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some insurance companies agree. Victor Joseph, president and chief operating officer of Mercury Insurance, said his company is offering discounts to those who rebuild with fire resistant materials. “What we’re incentivizing with these types of discounts is really some combination of steel, concrete and glass,” Joseph said. He said homeowners \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.insuranceforgood.org/blog/do-ca-insurers-reward-wildfire-resilience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>can get up to 50% off\u003c/u>\u003c/a> the wildfire portion of their premium by rebuilding with materials like concrete. “In high wildfire areas, that results in a pretty substantial discount,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concrete homes aren’t automatically fire proof. Embers can still fly in through vents or windows. Steve Hawks, senior director for wildfire with the \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://ibhs.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety\u003c/u>\u003c/a> , said even concrete homes need strong sealing. “The structure is only as good as the weakest link,” Hawks said. “If you only address the siding material and don’t address the window and the vents and the other components, you still leave the home very vulnerable to these significant, intense wildfires.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2025/11/fire-survivors-lara-resign/\">\u003cstrong>‘We Feel Alone’: L.A. Fire Survivors Call For California’s Insurance Commissioner To Resign\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Survivors of the deadly Los Angeles County fires, some of whom have been unable to rebuild because their insurance claims have been delayed or denied, are calling for California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara to resign. Lara, a former state lawmaker, has one year left in his second term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent New York Times \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/us/los-angeles-california-fire-insurance-regulations.html\">article\u003c/a> detailing loopholes the insurance industry could exploit in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2024/03/california-home-insurance-market/\">Lara’s plan\u003c/a> to try to improve California insurance availability was the last straw, fire survivors said. They said it proved Lara has helped the insurance industry more than he has helped policyholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the grassroots organization Eaton Fire Survivor Network say the recovery process is moving too slowly, in large part because of the insurance process. Paul Fedors is a homeowner in Altadena. “There are denials that are made with no context as to the reason why. They need to be linked back to the claim,” he said. “And it doesn’t seem like the insurance commissioner and the Department of Insurance is really enforcing this and holding the insurance companies accountable. And I think that that just adds to the high level of frustration that the survivors have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lara — who also faces \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/post/ca-insurance-commissioner-ricardo-laras-taxpayer-funded-trips-include-safari-visit-limo-service-5-star-resorts/17905685/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accusations of improper spending\u003c/a> of taxpayer dollars on travel — told CalMatters in an interview that he has no plans to resign. “I understand the anger (of fire victims),” Lara said. “I’m frustrated with the pace of recovery that involves multiple agencies, multiple levels of government.” He mentioned the actions he has taken in response, which include the Insurance Department’s June launch of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2025/06/california-investigates-state-farm/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a formal investigation into State Farm\u003c/a> over its handling of claims from the L.A.-area fires; \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2025/09/fair-plan-bills-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a legal action against the FAIR Plan\u003c/a>, the state’s fire insurer of last resort; and a bulletin requiring insurance companies to fully investigate and pay smoke damage claims.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Instead of the usual wood framing, they’re working with a material typically associated with freeways and skyscrapers: concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only 7% of homes nationwide are currently built with concrete, \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.nahb.org/blog/2024/08/share-of-wood-framed-homes-dips-in-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>according\u003c/u>\u003c/a> to the National Association of Home Builders. But experts say this hardy, non-combustible material could become more popular in areas with high fire risk, such as the Los Angeles County neighborhoods where thousands of homes were destroyed in January 2025. While concrete doesn’t make a home totally fire-proof, insurance companies are recognizing its safety benefits by offering homeowners lower premiums. While cost has been a barrier in the past, some homeowners say the expense of concrete now compares favorably with wood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One recent morning on the Sunset Mesa lot where her home burned down, Karen Martinez adjusted her hard hat and flipped through the blueprints for her new home. Martinez has overseen the building process for many of her previous homes. But this will be her first project using concrete blocks. Technically called insulating composite concrete forms, the bulky gray blocks stacked all over her property are lighter than they appear. “It’s about 87% polystyrene and 13% cement,” said Martinez. “Basically they’re non-combustible. So in a fire, you’re pretty much safe from the walls burning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez said there are other benefits beyond fire safety: she said the material can withstand earthquakes, and it won’t get termites because it contains no wood. Martinez saw the need to do things differently. The hardest part, she said, was getting others on board. Securing permits from L.A. County, talking her architect into using this kind of concrete, even helping her neighbors with plans for their own concrete homes. It all took some convincing. “Most architects and contractors don’t know how to use it,” Martinez said. “All they know is wood and maybe steel. It’s hard to convince people to change their ways. That’s my goal. I’m trying to just educate people and say that there are better ways to build.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Victor Joseph, president and chief operating officer of Mercury Insurance, said his company is offering discounts to those who rebuild with fire resistant materials. “What we’re incentivizing with these types of discounts is really some combination of steel, concrete and glass,” Joseph said. He said homeowners \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.insuranceforgood.org/blog/do-ca-insurers-reward-wildfire-resilience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>can get up to 50% off\u003c/u>\u003c/a> the wildfire portion of their premium by rebuilding with materials like concrete. “In high wildfire areas, that results in a pretty substantial discount,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concrete homes aren’t automatically fire proof.

They said it proved Lara has helped the insurance industry more than he has helped policyholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the grassroots organization Eaton Fire Survivor Network say the recovery process is moving too slowly, in large part because of the insurance process. Paul Fedors is a homeowner in Altadena. “There are denials that are made with no context as to the reason why. They need to be linked back to the claim,” he said. “And it doesn’t seem like the insurance commissioner and the Department of Insurance is really enforcing this and holding the insurance companies accountable.

On a recent Saturday, two dozen or so walk-in volunteers and trained Wikipedia editors — who are also volunteers — congregated over laptops and cups of coffee.

Combined with nearly 600 employees who have accepted voluntary buy-outs or resignations since President Trump took office, that constitutes a cut of almost 50% of the department’s workforce — what Education Secretary Linda McMahon \u003ca href=\"https://www.foxnews.com/video/6369901522112\">told Fox News\u003c/a> was the first step to shutting down the department entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This en masse firing exceeds any statutory authority granted by Congress,” Bonta said at a press conference announcing the suit, joined by 20 other Democratic attorneys general on Thursday morning. “Alongside numerous other actions the Trump administration has taken, this sweeping mass firing is, simply put, illegal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/tornado-pico-rivera-damage-la-explainer\">\u003cstrong>Tornado Touches Down In Pico Rivera, Uprooting Trees\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A small tornado uprooted trees and damaged roofs and cars in Pico Rivera early Thursday, just as a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/march-storm-mudslide-snow-effects\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">powerful storm was moving out of Southern California\u003c/a>, the National Weather Service confirmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said the tornado touched down between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. with wind speeds of 85 mph.

New state data obtained by CalMatters shows that fewer than 1 in 4 residents who cycle through shelters each year move into permanent homes, far below what many shelter operators promised in their contracts with public agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2025/01/hud-pit-count-2024/\">homelessness rises\u003c/a> in California, state and local officials keep relying on shelters as the backbone of their \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2024/08/homeless-encampments-sweep-reax/\">increasingly aggressive efforts\u003c/a> to get people off the streets. But the conditions inside, combined with low housing rates, now have some experts and even shelter executives calling on governments to fundamentally rethink their approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To better understand what’s happening inside shelters, CalMatters requested and analyzed previously unreleased state performance data, reviewed thousands of police calls and incident reports, and interviewed more than 80 shelter residents and personnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No state agency could provide an estimate for how much total taxpayer money is spent on shelters, so CalMatters analyzed local contracts and state funding data. The news organization found that governments have invested at least $1 billion since 2018. The number of emergency shelter beds in the state more than doubled, from around 27,000 to 61,000, \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/ahar/2024-ahar-part-1-pit-estimates-of-homelessness-in-the-us.html\">federal data\u003c/a> shows. There are still three times as many homeless people as there are shelter beds in California. Annual shelter death rates tripled between 2018 and mid-2024. A total of 2,007 people died, according to data obtained from the California Interagency Council on Homelessness.

New state data obtained by CalMatters shows that fewer than 1 in 4 residents who cycle through shelters each year move into permanent homes, far below what many shelter operators promised in their contracts with public agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2025/01/hud-pit-count-2024/\">homelessness rises\u003c/a> in California, state and local officials keep relying on shelters as the backbone of their \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2024/08/homeless-encampments-sweep-reax/\">increasingly aggressive efforts\u003c/a> to get people off the streets. But the conditions inside, combined with low housing rates, now have some experts and even shelter executives calling on governments to fundamentally rethink their approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To better understand what’s happening inside shelters, CalMatters requested and analyzed previously unreleased state performance data, reviewed thousands of police calls and incident reports, and interviewed more than 80 shelter residents and personnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No state agency could provide an estimate for how much total taxpayer money is spent on shelters, so CalMatters analyzed local contracts and state funding data. The news organization found that governments have invested at least $1 billion since 2018. The number of emergency shelter beds in the state more than doubled, from around 27,000 to 61,000, \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/ahar/2024-ahar-part-1-pit-estimates-of-homelessness-in-the-us.html\">federal data\u003c/a> shows. There are still three times as many homeless people as there are shelter beds in California. Annual shelter death rates tripled between 2018 and mid-2024. A total of 2,007 people died, according to data obtained from the California Interagency Council on Homelessness. That’s nearly \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2024/03/death-in-california-jails/\">twice as many\u003c/a> deaths as California jails saw during the same period.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12028446/tens-of-thousands-uc-workers-strike-disrupting-campuses-hospitals-labs\">\u003cstrong>Thousands Of UC Workers To Strike, Disrupting Campuses, Hospitals And Labs\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Tens of thousands of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027153/uc-workers-vote-to-strike-amid-federal-funding-threats\">University of California\u003c/a> health care, research and technical employees have begun a multiday strike on Wednesday, potentially disrupting daily operations at UC campuses, hospitals and laboratories statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
