"I’m mystified by the vehemence of the rejection to “defund the police” when we haven’t defunded the police. We’ve increased funding, especially due to the American Rescue Plan. We’re already spending more on policing in America than any country in the world spends on their military, aside from China and the US. Spending more and more on police with no upper limit is not the solution. I’m frustrated by Democrats who believe that throwing more money at policing is going to solve these problems and are not looking at the root causes. The solution to homelessness is increasing the supply of affordable housing and supportive housing. We can’t send the police out to “clean up the streets”. Where are we going to put these folks? In jail?" Well, yeah, so far... and how's that working for us?

"There has to be meaning in this, or it wouldn't read so much like a parable..." Steve Lopez writes about the Brentwood fire started in a homeless person's camp. I first wrote "by" and then realized this is so wrong: it was started by a homelessness crisis in this city, and to blame the homeless themselves if foolishness at best, malicious. The housing crisis needs to be addressed with focus and clarity. Thanks, Steve Lopez, for raising this up with some clarity.

Sunbaked and wind-battered Los Angeles, blessed and burdened city of extremes, is home to those with everything and those with nothing.

In Boyle Heights, the conflict between art spaces and local grassroots organizations has escalated. Residents are bringing into question the direct and indirect complicity of artists and cultural spaces in the displacement of communities.
