Rents Are Already High - USC Expects Them to Soon Be Even Higher

LOS ANGELES - Renters in the county are expected to soon pay even more for average monthly rent, according to a USC forecast released Tuesday. The USC Lusk Center for Real Estate's Casden Real Estate Economics Forecast projects the county's average rent will increase from $2,362 to $2,469 by June 2029.Available apartments are also expected to become harder to find. The county's vacancy rate is projected to fall from 5.6% in June to 4.87% as renters fill vacant units.The forecast covers the broader county market, including the Westside. Its averages do not predict rent changes in individual neighborhoods.The report found Los Angeles and Orange counties remain chronically short of apartments, along with Ventura County. It pointed to San Diego County and the Inland Empire as examples of how building more housing can ease pressure on rents."Housing cannot be affordable unless we have plenty of it," said forecast author Moussa Diop, an associate professor of real estate at the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy.Los Angeles County has seen an increase in apartment permits following post-wildfire permitting reforms. During the first half of 2026, permits ran 60% above the previous year's monthly average.But the report said it remains unclear how

La Crescenta residents cite fire evacuation concerns in battle against affordable housing project

Concerned residents and La Crescenta city leaders are urging Los Angeles County to take another look at a proposed five-story affordable housing site. They say Briggs Avenue and Foothill Boulevard offer only one way out, and with the proposed development, there would be a dangerous evacuation bottleneck and no safe way to escape danger. The neighborhood is in an area designated as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by the state fire marshal. The proposed five-story apartment complex would replace an 80-year-old motel at the corner of Briggs Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. The development would include 66 units and potentially house hundreds of residents. Tatyana Esmaelian, a La Crescenta resident, said the location could create serious problems during a wildfire evacuation. “I see this as a disaster happening, where it’s a repeat of Palisades Fire meets Eaton Fire, where people will get gridlocked to come out,” Esmaelian said. Residents say the intersection is already a potential evacuation choke point. Above the proposed development are already hundreds of homes, with Briggs Avenue serving as a primary evacuation route. Chris Kilpatrick of the Crescenta Valley Town Council called the proposed location particularly problematic. “This is probably the worst place in the

Intense speculation adds drama to USC-Indiana football game

College football fans and USC fans noticed something very strange on Wednesday. Heading into USC's game against Indiana , the betting line for Saturday's huge Big Ten contest shifted several points in under an hour. Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times noted this on X. Endless speculation greeted this very peculiar development. Some USC fans speculated that something is up with Jayden Maiava, arguing that's the only reason the line would move four points toward Indiana. Yet, on the injury report released for the game, Maiava did not appear on it. There was nothing on the initial injury report which would suggest that USC is at a significantly worse disadvantage against Indiana. Some people noted that Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover did not appear on the injury report, thinking that might be a reason for the line to jump several points in the Hoosiers' direction. The idea that Josh Hoover could play better with improved health is not totally out of the blue. However, Hoover has consistently underperformed this season, regardless of how healthy he has been. Why would Hoover suddenly play better now? Maybe the fact that Indiana gets a week off before playing USC, combined with Hoover's absence

Things to do this weekend: Space Shuttle Endeavour's towering new home opens

Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center opens: Fly to the stars, we can, at least in our daydreams. But we can also make our way to Exposition Park and the sensational state-of-the-art structure housing Space Shuttle Endeavour. The orbiter's new home has been years in the making — you'll recall its epic slow-roll from LAX to California Science Center nearly 15 years ago — and there are hundreds of dazzling displays, hand-on exhibits, and educational stations to engage visitors. Oh yes: The shuttle is now in launch position, something that may simultaneously drop jaws and inspire "wows" from those in the vicinity.

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).
