9 Los Angeles Area Fabric Stores In California Where Bargain Hunters Can Score Incredible Deals

Fabric sold by the pound sounds like a joke, but around Los Angeles it is a real way to shop. Some spots let you stuff a bag with remnants for one flat price. One shop prices most of its yardage at about four dollars. Another offers tubs of assorted fabric sold by weight, which feels like a candy store for sewists.

Honoring Julia Morgan, Architect Extraordinaire: Yes, a woman did that

“When do we think the five LA County permitting and review agencies will finally approve our plans?” After 20 months, our beloved architect, Cole Butler — a woman standing on the mighty yet tiny shoulders of über architect Julia Morgan — could still only guess. “A week? Two weeks? If we’re lucky.” Cole is burdened by a complex, drawn-out building bureaucracy that Julia Morgan never had to navigate. From 1904 to her death in 1957, Miss Morgan designed more than 700 buildings, the most famous of which is Hearst Castle on California’s Highway 1 along the central coast.

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.

Commentary: California’s super-rich conquered the world, but not always the voters

On a clear evening in Los Angeles, a fundraiser can fill a garden with people whose companies are household names on three continents, while a few miles away a city council race turns on potholes, rents, and a school bond. That contrast is the quiet drama of the California super-rich. Their products shape how the world works, shops, and talks. Their checks can flood a campaign. Their names open doors in capitals far from Sacramento. Yet California voters have repeatedly shown that fortune is not a proxy, and that economic reach does not guarantee a winning argument at the polling place.

Ocean-Damaged Malibu Properties May Qualify for Property Tax Relief

MALIBU - Beachfront property owners whose properties sustained damage from high tides and powerful ocean swells may qualify for lower property taxes. The City of Malibu is urging affected owners to consider Los Angeles County's Misfortune or Calamity reassessment program. Properties with at least $10,000 in qualifying physical damage may be eligible, and owners must submit an application within 12 months of the date the damage occurred. The assistance comes through an existing disaster relief program administered by the county assessor. In an October notice explaining the program , the county identified coastal surges among the natural disasters whose damage may qualify for relief. For eligible owners, reassessment can mean a corrected tax bill or a refund of taxes already paid. The county's property tax guidance says the adjustment reflects the reduction in property value beginning on the date of damage. The amount of relief depends on the loss in value and the period covered by the adjustment. Owners must file Form ADS-820, the application for reassessment of property damaged or destroyed by misfortune or calamity. Malibu's notice says contractor estimates or other documentation of repair costs can support the damage assessment. If approved, the reduced assessment remains in effect
