as a reminder, the WGSU is approaching three straight weeks of picketing! being on strike is so fucking hard (ask me how i know), and a robust strike fund is going to make it that much easier for them to win a fair contract.

or two folks who wanna donate $33 each?

or three folks who wanna donate $22 each?

Hey, remember a few weeks ago when I said this game is "a keenly-observed look at young adult life/love in the early 2000s" and also "the writing is exceptional, balancing wry humor with raw emotional honesty?" No? Well, it's still true, except now the game's on sale. SUPPORT INDIE DEVS!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Los Angeles needs money. Airbnb says the way to get it is to loosen the rules on short-term rentals (STRs). But what if instead
the City enforced those rules? This analysis examines the potential role of STRs in generating revenue for the City of Los Angeles. Under the 2018 Los Angeles Home Sharing Ordinance (HSO), it is a violation for a host to list a noncompliant STR and it is a violation for a platform to book a noncompliant STR. Policy enforcement began in late 2019; the citation amounts today are $625 daily per noncompliant listing and $1,250 per noncompliant booking. Noncompliance under the
HSO is widespread. During the program thus far, the City has issued $2.1 million in fines, and through the first five years, collected just $472,000-an
annualized revenue for those years of $95,000. We find that since 2019 the City could have issued $5.2 billion in citations. If collected, this would have yielded $850 million on
average each year. HSO Noncompliance Creates a
Largely Untapped Revenue Stream Amid the threats noncompliant STRs pose to communities and to the housing market, it is important to acknowledge one of the few opportunities they provide: revenue generation. Consider the parking meter: it is simple to comply with well-understood parking rules, but some percentage of people, some of the time, will flout the rules. We do not need to condone these parking violations to appreciate the $133.5 million in fines they contribute to the city's
coffers annually.22 Thus far, the widespread HSO noncompliance has been a woefully untapped resource. The 1,374 citations issued by the City represent 0.17 percent of the total 777,145 noncompliant listings and transactions identified in this BNLA analysis. In December 2025 alone, Granicus reported 5,160 noncompliant STR listings with known addresses; yet that same month, DCP reported the issuance of a total of 15 citations-less than one-third of one percent. As a share of the total potential fines of $5.2 billion, the
actual fines of $2.1 million represent a mere 0.04 percent. The total (actual) fine revenue from the first five years of the program came to $472,434-about $95,000 annually.23 For fines issued in 2025, $195,000 has been collected thus far. BNLA finds that potential fine revenue has been $850 million annually.24 Within that
yawning gap lies an opportunity for easy, if unfortunate revenue. For the initial years of the HSO, STRs generated an average TOT income of $34 million per year. Fining program noncompliance might have generated income of $70 million-per month. If the City were to start collecting the potential fines from noncompliant listings and transactions today, in two months the City would generate over $95 million, without any voter referendum or
change in policy. If the City were to collect a mere five percent of the potential fines for noncompliance, the annual revenue stream ($42 million) would regularly exceed the annual TOT revenue currently generated by
STRs citywide ($34 million).

A new Better Neighbors report says if LA started actually enforcing its short-term rentals, the city would rake in $40 to $50 million each month — "more than any measure the city is currently proposing for the ballot to raise revenue."

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.
