Culver City Eyes Space Beneath Metro Tracks for Pickleball Park

CULVER CITY - The space beneath Metro's elevated E Line could become a new place to play pickleball, and residents will get a chance Nov. 10 to help shape the proposed park. Culver City is exploring an Expo Line Pickleball Park near Wesley Street and National Boulevard, adding another potential location for a sport the city has been accommodating on shared courts. The City Council has allocated $100,000 for the park's design concept. A September staff report described the project as being in its early planning stages, with staff researching grants for design and construction. The Nov. 10 community meeting will give residents an opportunity to help refine the proposal. It runs from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Syd Kronenthal Park Building, 3459 McManus Ave. Free parking will be available. The Parks, Recreation & Community Services Department is inviting nearby businesses and commuters to participate alongside residents and park users. The proposal comes as Culver City works to create more playing space while preserving access for paddle tennis players. In June, the city outlined a plan to share courts at several parks . Culver West Alexander Park would remain the main shared location, while courts at Elenda Street and

LOS ANGELES - A pending public corruption case did not stop the Los Angeles City Council from voting unanimously Friday to name a youth and community center after outgoing Councilman Curren Price. The council renamed the Slauson Connect Center the "Curren D. Price, Jr. Youth and Community Center" during a nearly two-hour celebration of his 13 years representing the Ninth District. Price will leave office in December because of term limits.Price faces 12 counts involving allegations of embezzlement and conflicts of interest. He has vehemently denied wrongdoing and maintains his innocence. His case remains ongoing.Jennifer Clark, a North Hollywood resident and vice president of the North Hollywood North East Neighborhood Council, criticized the decision to attach Price's name to the center while he faces criminal charges. Other residents raised similar objections.Inside the celebration, however, council members, city officials and guests did not address the criminal case, according to City News Service. Price referred indirectly to his difficulties and spoke of attempts to tarnish his name."I'll be the first to tell you that these years have not always been easy. In face, you face some setbacks, difficult decisions and face some criticism or share criticism. I learned that in public service,

California Landlords Are Losing 6 Figures to Squatters — and Their Insurance Won’t Pay for It

Rob Casares bought a four-unit complex in South Los Angeles about 15 years ago. It was an investment and a way to provide housing in his community.

The Becerra era and Raman’s ‘earthquake’ in LA

TRANSITION BEGINS — In the five months between Xavier Becerra ’s come-from-behind primary victory and his general election win, he and his circle could deflect questions about his coming administration. California can only have one governor at a time, they said, and he wasn’t taking anything for granted. But now that voters have officially made him their next governor, everyone in Sacramento is racing to get some answers about what comes next: Who will Becerra hire and appoint? Which interest groups will be ascendant? What policies will he prioritize? The lobbyists, union officials and legislative leaders at his victory party offer some hints. Among the VIP’s circulating in West Sacramento were Becerra team members, including campaign hands Robbie Abelon, Kyle Layman and Lindsey Cobia — an erstwhile top Gavin Newsom deputy — and unofficial counselors like Arsenio Mataka, a former aide from Becerra’s attorney general days who focused on environmental issues. As we’ve noted elsewhere , Becerra’s sphere also includes adviser Courtni Pugh, longtime aide Liz Saldivar, veteran politico Karen Skelton, and policy adviser Nicole Elliott (another Newsom alum). Some of Sacramento’s most powerful interest groups did not endorse Becerra until it was evident he’d prevail. That made his early

One Unfixed Apartment Could Freeze Rent Hikes Across a West Hollywood Building

In a city where about four in five households rent, protecting renters has always been a priority at City Hall. Still, tenants will say the City falls short when they’re facing displacement, waiting months for repairs or losing services they counted on when they moved in, like parking or a working elevator. On Monday, the Council approved new guidelines for how much tenants can get off their rent when those services are lost. It also moved ahead with a proposal that could take effect next July and stop a landlord from raising rents across an entire building when a serious health or safety problem goes unresolved. Getting a rent reduction and getting the work done are two different things. Take North Harper Avenue.
