LA Has Many Vacant Apartments, But The Homeless And Overcrowded Cannot Afford Them

PLANNING WATCH - LA has a new Mayor. But if you now expect major changes from her, let me set you straight.

And if you think that things in Los Angeles will be substantially different under the new mayor, it is time for you to reconsider.

Route 66 in California: Desert Towns & Mother Road Stops

Route 66 in California is the last stretch of the Mother Road, running about 345 miles from the Colorado River at Needles to the Pacific at Santa Monica, according to the National Park Service. It packs the whole Route 66 story into one state: empty desert highway, a neon-lit ghost town, a silver-mining boomtown, and a pier at the end. And 2026 is the road’s centennial year, a hundred years since U.S. Route 66 was designated on November 11, 1926.

School District Violated Labor Code By Rejecting Applicants Based On Expunged Misdemeanor Convictions

A.S. v. Los Angeles Unified Sch. Dist. , 123 Cal. App. 5 th 519 (2026) Two applicants for employment with the Los Angeles Unified School District (one for a part-time after-school program position and the other for a legal secretary position) were rejected based on their prior misdemeanor convictions (for battery and grand theft, respectively), both of which had been expunged pursuant to Cal. Penal Code § 1203.4. The District contended that its duty to protect students required it to screen out applicants with nearly any criminal conviction, notwithstanding expungement. The trial courts in the two separate actions granted summary judgment to the applicants, and the Court of Appeal affirmed in this consolidated appeal, holding that the District violated Cal. Lab. Code § 432.7, which prohibits employers from asking about or utilizing expunged convictions. The Court further held that the statutory exceptions upon which the District relied did not apply because no law required the District to obtain information about, or prohibited it from hiring individuals with, the particular misdemeanor convictions at issue (misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor grand theft).
