In this recap episode, we discuss our hard-hat walking tour with Minako Ferrante of the Little Tokyo Service Center this past week. In particular, we discuss five questions pedestrians in and around the Vermont/Santa Monica corridor in East Hollywood might be interested in, including whether the project contributes to gentrification, the funding for the development, the number of housing units for people experiencing homelessness, and of course, when applications open up for those who qualify.

Be sure to subscribe to the podcast for more updates regarding this and more developments across Los Angeles.

J.T.Leave a comment

L.A. City Council Member Bonin and yours truly discuss a range of things: The racist L.A. City Council leaks. The fight against his office’s work to expand transitional housing for unhoused people in Venice beach. The Los Angeles Police Union’s efforts to recall Bonin. The passage of measure ULA (or a tax on transfers of residential and commercial real estate in L.A. valued over $5 million to support renter’s assistance programs; other tools this measure provides the new L.A. City Council. The L.A. City Council’s Transportation Committee and Bonin’s time on the L.A. Metro Board; the path towards fareless transit, the expansion of L.A. City Hall over the next few years and how it might be phased out, and more. Another can’t-miss episode for the people of Los Angeles and a great way to acknowledge Council Member Bonin’s years of service for communities in the city.
