Why California must remove the roadblocks to safer streets West Hollywood City Councilmember John Erickson addresses interpersonal politics getting in the way of street safety, specifically on Fountain Ave.

“Across our state, commonsense projects that would make communities safer, greener, and more livable are caught in an endless tangle of redundant approvals, over-engineered reviews, and bureaucratic inertia.”

Yuuuup

California Lawmakers Approve Major Overhaul of Landmark Environmental Law | KQED Gov. Gavin Newsom threatened to repeal the state’s budget if lawmakers did not include two bills that aim to streamline environmental reviews for housing.

"After weeks of tense negotiations with Gov. Gavin Newsom, California lawmakers on Monday passed two controversial bills that promise to make big changes to the state’s landmark environmental law to boost housing and clean energy projects."

“This is, and I can humbly say this as someone who’s been a student of this and a practitioner of sorts over the past six plus years, the most consequential housing reform that we have seen in modern history in the state of California.” - @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Opinion | Europe Built Trains. America Built Highways and Regret.

While much of the rest of the world invested in rail, the U.S. invested in highways. The result? Unsustainable sprawl & extreme, costly, unhealthy car-dependence.

The rest of the world still invests in transit, as the U.S. lets our transit atrophy.

Let’s change that & invest big time in transit.

Despite political promises, Californians are stressed about their finances California's legislative leaders are working on their promises to address affordability, but voters are growing more concerned about their financial future.

“When asked to name the most important issues for state leaders to be addressing this year, the cost of living, housing affordability and homelessness topped the list — far above concerns about crime and public safety, taxes and immigration, the poll found.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

We are grateful to our Russian Speaking Advisory Board and all our veterans and their families who attended today's 80th Anniversary of Victory in Europe Day!
