Under the barest of inspections, well-funded influence operations posing as grass-roots movements fall apart. It's no different with Neighbors First, the Marin County-based organization blanketing L.A. in mailers.
I got my first bitter taste of the remade carrier last week. With bag and seat fees, Southwest’s private-equity overlords have stripped the once-beloved airline of everything that made it special.
California has repeatedly failed to enact cooling standards for rental housing. That's unacceptable in a warming world – but thankfully, L.A. leaders are finally stepping up.
The size of L.A.'s council was set in 1925, when the city was much smaller and less diverse. Voters deserve the chance to decide if Los Angeles has outgrown its 15 districts.
Changes are coming to LAX that probably won’t fix traffic on the two-level road to the terminals. Here’s what you can do now to avoid some of the headache.
Use the notoriously traffic-choked "horseshoe" at LAX as a proving ground for congestion pricing. If Angelenos like what they see (and they very likely will), perhaps they'll warm to it for other roads in the area.
Many Eaton fire survivors who rented their homes want to return to Altadena. Unless they get more help, the community that's rebuilt will look vastly different from the Altadena that was lost.
The principles that guided the Los Angeles police away from ignominy and back toward honor after the Rodney King beating are lost on federal authorities in their zeal to punish undocumented migrants.
If you thought the one-year anniversary of the Altadena and Pacific Palisades fires was going to be all about unity and hope, you haven't been paying close attention.
If local, state and federal leaders have learned anything in the year after the Eaton and Palisades fires, they haven’t done a very good job showing it.
