I am on the board of directors of a tiny charity that has been helping the victims of the Santa Cruz fire that happened a few years ago. Right after the fire, we helped with clean up. Since then, we've been helping the fire victims navigate the bureaucracy so that they could rebuild their homes. Thanks to Santa Cruz's policies, most of the people who lost their homes will never be allowed to rebuild.

And as a side tangent, FEMA gave Newsom a bunch of trailers intended to go to the fire victims. Newsom gave the trailers to the chronically homeless, who couldn't use the trailers because you have to have a place to park it, utility hookups, etc. So the trailers went unused while the fire victims were left homeless (the fire victims would have parked the trailers on their land and hooked up to their existing utility lines).
