Agent of Change Mayor-Elect Nithya Raman Can Now Make Los Angeles Governable

NICK’S VIEW - The votes are counted, and Nithya Raman is officially our Mayor-Elect. Now, campaign promises will carry grand expectations and face stark reality. Los Angeles cannot afford another administration that manages dysfunction instead of fixing it, accepts bureaucratic paralysis, or offers rhetoric instead of results. The city’s new mandate is clear: rebuilding City Hall around competence, responsibility, and accountability.

Committee Delays Proposed Crackdown on Street-Based RV Rentals

LOS ANGELES - Cases against operators renting RVs on Los Angeles streets often depend on statements from the people paying to live in them, according to an LAPD report. Some residents fear cooperating could cost them their only shelter. Those are among the enforcement hurdles facing a proposed crackdown on so-called "van lords." On Tuesday, the City Council's Homelessness and Health Committee postponed consideration of the proposal at the request of its chair, Councilwoman Ysabel Jurado. The five-member committee had been scheduled to hear reports and consider a draft ordinance explicitly extending the city's vehicle-business restrictions to RVs. The matter was continued to a future meeting. The proposal would carry civil penalties starting at $500 and reaching $1,000. An LAPD report submitted to the council in February describes the difficulty of gathering enough evidence to secure charges and pursue penalties. Officers investigating these cases must establish a rental or lease arrangement exists. Evidence can include a written or digital contract, payment records, or physical proof such as a key or access provided by the suspect. In many cases, people exploited through these rentals lack formal documentation of the arrangement, according to the report. Investigators then rely primarily on residents' statements.

Number of rabid animals in California skyrockets to the most cases in nearly 30 years

Your browser does not support the video tag. California has seen the number of rabid animals skyrocket, with the most cases in nearly 30 years, according to state officials. At least 368 rabid animals were found in the Golden State so far this year, breaking a 28-year record, the California Veterinary Medical Association announced Saturday. Most of the rabid animals were bats or skunks from Southern California, according to the veterinary association. San Diego County health officials sounded the alarm in July after a rabid bat landed on the table where a family was eating lunch at the rustic Yellow Deli chain in Vista. Another diner quickly grabbed the bat with a towel and brought it to the Humane Society in Oceanside. Last month, local health officials reported the first two raccoons to test positive for rabies in Los Angeles County in more than 50 years.

Long Beach Unveils Naples Island Trail Plan Tied to $21M Seawall Fund Crunch

The Sorrento Trail, a waterside walkway along Naples Island, is linked to further seawall repairs in the area. The project, also known as the Sorrento Alamitos Bay Shoreline Trail, traces back to a 2013 Coastal Commission decision that tied trail construction to the Naples Island Seawall Repair Project. As the Long Beach Press-Telegram reported in 2017, the state Coastal Commission ruled that Long Beach had to reconstruct the trail as mitigation for Naples seawall repairs carried out in the water. That same report noted that the second phase of those seawall repairs was on hold at the time, pending Coastal Commission approval of the trail's design plans.
