With the sudden surge in new demand for multifamily units because of LA fires, will this cause an increase in multifamily rents throughout the region?

Despite national trends, what factors are driving the demand for multifamily housing in Los Angeles?
What are the financing challenges and opportunities for multifamily developers in Los Angeles?
