Airbnb hosts and other short term rental owners in unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County could soon be barred from renting out properties they don’t live in under proposed rules advanced by the Board of Supervisors.The rules would only apply in unincorporated areas of L.A. County, such as East Los Angeles, Altadena and Ladera Heights.
Proponents of regulating activity on platforms such as Airbnb and Vrbo say the rules will put homes back on the market for L.A. residents increasingly struggling to find affordable housing., in an interview with LAist. “They push up rents. They make homes unaffordable. They bring crime into neighborhoods. They unsettle the peace and quiet of residential streets. And it's encouraging that the county is finally teeing this up for a vote.
Under the original draft of the rules, hosts would also be prevented from renting out accessory dwelling units on their property. On Tuesday, supervisors voted to advance an amendment that would allow hosts to rent out a primary residence to guests while they stay in the secondary unit. “We knew everybody around here. Everybody was a homeowner,” Loza said. “Now, we don't know practically anybody that lives around here.”
“A lot of people like this place. We have such a beautiful view,” Loza said. City Terrace residents “want to invest and live in this area, but there's nothing available for them.”The county’s proposed rules would not be the first of their kind in the L.A. area. The city of Los Angeles began enforcing its own home-sharing ordinance in 2019.
A landslide in Dana Point last week has created a nail biter of a scene: A mansion now perched on the edge of a weakened cliffside that appears to be a hair away from falling into the ocean.A spokesperson for Dana Point said the city’s geotechnical engineer and a building inspector assessed and cleared the area where the slope failure occurred.
“Currently the city has confirmed that there is no imminent threat to the home, and no further action is being taken at this time,” the city’s statement said. “It's just devastating to see videos like the ones that are coming out of Dana Point and it's also, unfortunately, becoming much more common with increasing rainfall and sea level rise,” said Kate Huckelbridge, executive director of the California Coastal Commission. “The combination of those two phenomena are destabilizing some of our coastal cliffs and I think landslides and on bluffs like these are, unfortunately, likely to become more common.
“We don't want to put people in harm's way and that's exactly what's happening to some of these blufftop homes,” Huckelbridge added. “I do think that there's going to be an increased effort to pull some of these developments back and certainly not be approving development right up against the edge of a cliff.”, she said, there was an uptick in the emergency permits for local governments and private landowners to stabilize the coastline.
The county is also looking for artists who’ve worked with diverse communities in the past five years, including unhoused people, formerly incarcerated people, foster youth, people with disabilities, veterans, and people struggling with substance use disorders or mental illness.

Her father started a community newspaper here after immigrating to the U.S. from the Philippines.And here, on Main Street, is Str33t Records — Laigo’s homage to her father’s newspaper, community and her love of vinyl .
Record stores “are gems in the communities that they're in because they will have music that you won't see” on modern streaming platforms, Laigo adds. members who have been pushing for more sustainable practices for years, along with other allies. At first, she said, it was hard at first to get much traction."We're all about not wasting time, and hurry up, and get it done, and time is money."
Productions pay for the Los Angeles-based company to haul away their unwanted sets, props and construction materials. Instead of going to landfills, those treasures are then donated to whoever wants them. Liao shops for materials in EcoSet's aisles. When sets get too old to rent out to big-budget productions, they often wind up at places like the Los Angeles-based company.Wang said producers should plan for reducing their environmental impact in the same way that they dealt with the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic — when they allocated 4 or 5 % of their budget to cover things like health and safety officers and testing.
While the weather will be quiet most of the week, another round of storms is on the way. Here is what we know so far. Still a range of outcomes in timing and amounts, but there is a growing risk for flooding, mudslides, mountain snow, and gusty winds.Right now current rainfall totals projected are 2 to 5 inches of rain from Sunday through Wednesday for coastal and valley areas and between 4 to 8 inches in the foothills and mountains.
These forces want voters to see Raman the same as the embattled Gascón, who faces 11 challengers looking to unseat him, and beat back a growing progressive trend in L.A. politics."All of the negative ads funded by outside spending say that crime and homelessness are spiking in our district. But it's not true ..." she said in a statement to LAist.
The ad makes no mention of Emmett’s dispute with Raman. Instead, it focuses on her opposition to a city ordinance that banned homeless encampments within 500 feet of schools, parks and daycare centers. The firefighters’ union is playing a major role. It has spent more than $300,000 in support of Weaver, with some of its ads blaming Raman for a 10% increase in homelessness during her term. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and Kilroy Realty also have made significant contributions to eject Raman.
“Now we’re in a $250-million deficit, which is only going to increase and impact all of the other services that matter for quality of life,” she said.“Morale is low because there is no leadership for LAPD in City Hall, and I’m running to provide that leadership,” he said. The ad campaigns against Raman play on the fears and frustrations of voters, some of whom say they have buyer’s remorse after supporting Raman in 2020.
