the epidemic of housing developments with empty first floors must end!
reminded of my most dad coded political opinion which is that we need a universal Naps and Lil Snacks For All program
East LA high school students protesting, signs include Education Not Eradication, We Demand Schools That Teach, and Chicano Power
Fifty-eight years ago this week, Latine and Chicano students at high schools across East Los Angeles walked out in protest of a public education system that was failing them. 🧵
some YIMBYs are supporting Raman, there's no consolidation around her yet. she obviously has a head start as a candidate who has had Abundant Housing's endorsement in her current office, but she's not the only pro-housing candidate running

meet us at 11:30 AM! details and RSVP at luma.com/d5mznifr

Rae Huang erasure tbh
Rae's campaign hasn't rolled out her full policy platform yet, but Nithya's team has put out even less. I hope to see something from you on Rae, and/or how you think her policy positions compare to Nithya's, once we have more concrete policies from both campaigns
@liamjdillon.com, did you reach out to Rae Huang's campaign when writing this article? considering you mention DSA, socialism, and socialist a combined 17 times, it seems a huge oversight to not even mention there's two DSA member front-runners, both of whom have stated positions on SB 79 and ULA
canvassing for Rae Huang in Glassell Park at 11AM, come knock some doors with us!
I've been thinking about EIFDs a lot lately... and it occurs to me that they're potentially how we turn transit from something that *deprives* other projects of funding (due to high capital costs) into something that actually *provides* funding. Stay with me here. First, a primer on EIFDs. 1/12

What an honor and blast it was to talk with Students for Socialism at UCLA this week! Throughout history, students have led the call for real transformation and systemic change. This proud legacy continues on our campuses in Los Angeles 🌹🌞
Happy Hola Mohalla to our beloved Sikh community! Sikhi exemplifies the way spiritual devotion and community defense go hand in hand — today we honor this tradition and ask ourselves who needs our help, and who we must show up for.
As Janisse Quiñones steps away from the LADWP, there is ongoing pressure within the department to privatize. As mayor, I will appoint a leader who will keep our water and power systems a robust and effective public utility.
The elected officials in the City of Los Angeles never fail to disappoint. The lengths they'll go to stop denser and more affordable housing near transit is beyond me. If you build transit, you need to build dense housing around it.
LA keeps saying it's fixing its housing shortage.
Oren Hadar got the real numbers and asks whether the City Council will use this moment on SB 79 to finally do something real, or just do the minimum to delay another four years.
Full breakdown in his thread. Highly recommend reading.
How does SB 79 help increase upzoning around transit options in California?

I met with many people who have seen the impacts of the ICE raids and the police brutality in our streets firsthand over the last year. What I heard was shocking.
A full video will drop soon about my lessons from these conversations, and how I’ll take concrete action as mayor to remedy the harm.
If any of you have ever dealt with PG&E, you know how awful it would be if LA ended up going that direction
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Los Angeles needs money. Airbnb says the way to get it is to loosen the rules on short-term rentals (STRs). But what if instead the City enforced those rules? This analysis examines the potential role of STRs in generating revenue for the City of Los Angeles. Under the 2018 Los Angeles Home Sharing Ordinance (HSO), it is a violation for a host to list a noncompliant STR and it is a violation for a platform to book a noncompliant STR. Policy enforcement began in late 2019; the citation amounts today are $625 daily per noncompliant listing and $1,250 per noncompliant booking. Noncompliance under the HSO is widespread. During the program thus far, the City has issued $2.1 million in fines, and through the first five years, collected just $472,000-an annualized revenue for those years of $95,000. We find that since 2019 the City could have issued $5.2 billion in citations. If collected, this would have yielded $850 million on average each year.
HSO Noncompliance Creates a Largely Untapped Revenue Stream Amid the threats noncompliant STRs pose to communities and to the housing market, it is important to acknowledge one of the few opportunities they provide: revenue generation. Consider the parking meter: it is simple to comply with well-understood parking rules, but some percentage of people, some of the time, will flout the rules. We do not need to condone these parking violations to appreciate the $133.5 million in fines they contribute to the city's coffers annually.22 Thus far, the widespread HSO noncompliance has been a woefully untapped resource. The 1,374 citations issued by the City represent 0.17 percent of the total 777,145 noncompliant listings and transactions identified in this BNLA analysis. In December 2025 alone, Granicus reported 5,160 noncompliant STR listings with known addresses; yet that same month, DCP reported the issuance of a total of 15 citations-less than one-third of one percent. As a share of the total potential fines of $5.2 billion, the actual fines of $2.1 million represent a mere 0.04 percent.
The total (actual) fine revenue from the first five years of the program came to $472,434-about $95,000 annually.23 For fines issued in 2025, $195,000 has been collected thus far. BNLA finds that potential fine revenue has been $850 million annually.24 Within that yawning gap lies an opportunity for easy, if unfortunate revenue. For the initial years of the HSO, STRs generated an average TOT income of $34 million per year. Fining program noncompliance might have generated income of $70 million-per month. If the City were to start collecting the potential fines from noncompliant listings and transactions today, in two months the City would generate over $95 million, without any voter referendum or change in policy. If the City were to collect a mere five percent of the potential fines for noncompliance, the annual revenue stream ($42 million) would regularly exceed the annual TOT revenue currently generated by STRs citywide ($34 million).
A new Better Neighbors report says if LA started actually enforcing its short-term rentals, the city would rake in $40 to $50 million each month — "more than any measure the city is currently proposing for the ballot to raise revenue."

a donate button isn't a personal line to the mayor (well it shouldn't be), but @raeforla.com has a really collaborative, volunteer oriented campaign! it's a good time, I've talked to her about SB 79 on many occasions at this point!

This was posted on Reddit from the other site. Fred Rosen, everyone! (Reminder that Bass left the metro board meeting during public comments to take a personal call from an angry bel air resident who was presumably him and then relayed his concerns to the board)
if she is, great, no notes, but I want to see it
I know she's supported it in the past in her council seat, but a citywide race is another matter and I want to see if she's willing to offend potential wealthy donors
there were 3 DSA member votes out of 5 votes total against Park's anti-SB 79 measure, I always thought it notable the DSA endorsees supported SB 79 in that vote at a higher percentage than AHLA endorsees (75% vs 60%, I believe, with Nithya in both groups)
