California's Young Workers Didn't Sit This One Out—We Made Sure of It

Every cycle like clockwork, young voters are written off as too disillusioned or too distracted to show up in a midterm. On Tuesday, that outdated notion was laid to rest. Nationally and across California, young people showed up. And they showed up in numbers that made the difference in power-shifting races for LA Mayor-elect Nithya Raman, California Democratic Rep.-elects Randy Villegas and Marni von Wilpert, and others.

Incumbent Derek Tran (D) defeated Chuong Vo (R) in the general election for California's 45th Congressional District

Incumbent Derek Tran (D) defeated Chuong Vo (R) in the general election for California's 45th Congressional District on November 3, 2026. The election took place in the context of redistricting that changed the boundaries of the 45th District from those used in the 2024 election. Inside Elections' Nathaniel Rakich said, "[The district] adds a few more Democratic areas of Los Angeles County to go from D+1 to D+5, although it should remain competitive; the Republican candidates for attorney general, controller, and treasurer in 2022 all would have carried the new version of this seat."

LA Council Orders Study of AI Rent-Setting Tools Landlords Use Citywide

The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously this week to order a full study of how artificial intelligence tools are being used to set rents across the city, a move that stops short of any new rule but opens the door to one. Council members instructed housing staff to report back with policy recommendations addressing algorithmic rent-setting and other AI technologies used by housing providers, rather than adopting any regulation themselves.

'Everyday Courage' event promotes California arts, humanities

A big event Wednesday night in Los Angeles will lift up arts and culture, history and the humanities. The theme is “ Everyday Courage .” The nonprofit California Humanities will present its Spirit of the Humanities Awards. Ann Burroughs, president and CEO of the Japanese American National Museum, will receive the award for Courageous Leadership. She said California's postwar mistreatment of Japanese Americans remains highly relevant today. "It's critically important that we not only know the history but we understand history, because if we don't know what the lessons of history are, then they can so easily be repeated," Burroughs explained. The evening’s featured speaker will be playwright and filmmaker Luis Valdez, founder of El Teatro Campesino, which helped spread the word about strikes and marches by Chicano farmworkers in the 1960s. PBS currently features a documentary on the subject, called "American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez." Sen. Ben Allen, D-El Segundo, will be honored as the legislative champion for his support of the film industry and arts education. "They've been an incredibly important part of what makes California special," Allen emphasized. "So much of our global leadership has to do with our cultural leadership, the fact that we're

Pasadena Adopts New Rules Limiting Watering of Decorative Grass

Pasadena will phase in restrictions on watering decorative grass under an ordinance the City Council adopted October 27, bringing local rules into line with California law. The ordinance amends Chapter 13.10 of the Pasadena Municipal Code, which sets water-waste and conservation standards for Pasadena Water and Power’s service territory. It implements California Assembly Bill 1572, enacted in 2023, which requires public water systems to restrict potable-water irrigation of nonfunctional turf at specified commercial, industrial, institutional and public properties by January 1, 2027.

Commentary: California’s super-rich conquered the world, but not always the voters

On a clear evening in Los Angeles, a fundraiser can fill a garden with people whose companies are household names on three continents, while a few miles away a city council race turns on potholes, rents, and a school bond. That contrast is the quiet drama of the California super-rich. Their products shape how the world works, shops, and talks. Their checks can flood a campaign. Their names open doors in capitals far from Sacramento. Yet California voters have repeatedly shown that fortune is not a proxy, and that economic reach does not guarantee a winning argument at the polling place.

Mid-City Lot Swaps Five-Story Apartments for Six Townhomes on Point View Street

1420 S. Point View St. — Approximate Site of Six-Home Proposal. An empty lot just south of Pico Boulevard in Mid-City is now the site of a very different kind of housing proposal than the one once floated for the same address. A new application calls for six three-story, townhome-style homes at 1420 S. Point View Street, a sharp departure from an earlier plan for a five-story apartment building on the same parcel.
