Part 2/8:

The prevailing sentiment among former residents is a mix of uncertainty and frustration. Recent assessments indicate that as many as 50% of the individuals who once lived in the Palisades may not return. This percentage reflects a stark increase from previous assumptions just a week prior. The reasons are multifaceted, but it is clear that many are opting to relocate to nearby neighborhoods such as Brentwood, Santa Monica, or Beverly Hills. These areas are experiencing a surge in demand as families seek stability and semblance of normalcy, escaping the haunting memories of their previous lives.
