California builders say few options to Canadian lumber for new homes
California homebuilders face limited choices but to keep buying Canadian lumber amid possible 25 percent tariffs as wildfires drive urgent housing needs. Industry leader Dan Dunmeyer notes 80 percent of federal or state land cannot be logged, and local mills and policies are insufficient to switch quickly. The sector warns tariffs would raise costs for rebuilding thousands of homes destroyed by January wildfires in Los Angeles.
