When I reported on this story, I was struck by the intense backlash to Raman and her staff. She’s been notable for standing alone on certain tough housing issues. laist.com/news/housing-homel…
A 🧵 explaining why I enthusiastically support @nithyavraman to be the Next Mayor of LA!
When ED1 was first issued it applied broadly including to certain R1 properties. We had a client file for multiple projects with state vesting rights. Mayor Bass then changed ED1

NEW: OC Supervisor Andrew Do gave $1 million to a group linked to his daughter, to build a war memorial. The county says it failed to finish the project and diverted money. But its lawyer said the work was done. Here’s what @jillrep found at the site.

When Yong Yang was in a mental health crisis last month, his parents did what some aren't aware is an option.
They called for help from county clinicians instead of 911.
Still, Yang ended up fatally shot by LAPD in his parents' living room. @LAist

We have a ruling. The judge ruled against Barrington Plaza's landlord, saying they did not plan to go out of business after evicting hundreds of renters.
@_LarryGross calls it "one of the most important tenants' rights legal victories in state history."

What exactly does it mean for a landlord to "go out of business"?
That's the question at the center of one of L.A.'s largest eviction cases ever. The judge's answer could have huge implications for renters at Barrington Plaza, and across the city. laist.com/news/housing-homel…

Caltrans kept these El Sereno homes empty for decades over a contentious freeway project that never got built. Now @sgvHabitat is fixing them up for low-income, first-time homebuyers.
My new @LAist story gets into the history and future of these homes: laist.com/news/housing-homel…
