Arellano: Raman's victory was a resounding rebuke to L.A.'s Latino political establishment

When Angelenos chose Nithya Raman as their next mayor, Karen Bass wasn't the only establishment pillar that was resoundingly rebuked. Here in the country's Latino capital, the metropolis that delivered California its first Latino U.S. senator and pioneered the type of winning political machine that Latinos across the country replicated for decades, almost all the city's Latino power brokers — politicians, nonprofit leaders, union activists, celebrities — bet big on longtime ally Bass, only to now find themselves on the outside looking in.

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.

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.

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
