The proposal centers on a 13,000-square-foot parcel at 7700 South Central Avenue, which county officials are considering pairing with a plan to hand over a nearby vacant building to a local community group.

Even business-friendly Vernon is souring on data centers

There is only one place new data centers are being built in the greater Los Angeles area: the city of Vernon. Just south of downtown L.A., it's a city made up almost exclusively of companies. About 50,000 people commute every day into Vernon to work, but only about 300 actually live there, and the city government is famous for its friendliness to heavy industry.

City Waived Privilege Over Fair Chance Act Assessments Prepared With Assistance Of Counsel

Civil Rights Dep’t v. City of Torrance, 2026 WL 3215987 (Cal. Ct. App. 2026) In September 2022, the City of Torrance rescinded a conditional offer of employment for a custodian position after a background check revealed the applicant’s multiple criminal convictions. The applicant filed a complaint with the Civil Rights Department (the CRD) under the Fair Chance Act (Cal. Gov’t Code § 12952), and the CRD expanded its investigation to determine whether the City had a pattern of disqualifying applicants (23 in all) without conducting the required “individualized assessments.” The City refused to produce its assessment templates and related documents on the ground that an in-house attorney had helped prepare them. The trial court granted the CRD’s petition to compel production, and the Court of Appeal affirmed, holding that the City waived the attorney-client privilege by defending itself on the basis of the adequacy of its individualized assessments. As the Court explained, the City “cannot demonstrate it complied with section 12952 without putting at issue the adequacy of the individualized assessments.”

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. The new mayor, Nithya Raman, may have a different personality, age, and separate supporters from the defeated mayor, Karen Bass, but they have much more in common than their differences. And if you think that things in Los Angeles will be substantially different under the new mayor, it is time for you to reconsider.
