Election Day wrap-up: how did the new voting system go, and what were the results? The decision not to cancel the LA Marathon due to the threat of coronavirus. And a local nonprofit struggling in its goal to become an affordable housing provider.

Alissa and Hayes are joined by the NRDC’s CARTER RUBIN (@CarterRubin) to talk about the results of last Tuesday’s special City Council election, the racist serial killer that didn’t make the news, the City of Industry kicking out a third of its residents for political reasons, the LA city planner who was too eager to become a lobbyist, the newest turns in the AHF/Amoeba Civil War, and Carter’s thoughts on the California Air Resources Board’s newest emissions report.

A big housing episode! Scott, Alissa and Hayes perform an autopsy on all the victims of the CA legislature’s May Massacre, try to figure out what is going on with AHF and the high-rise on Sunset and Gordon, look at the first supportive housing building built with HHH money after more than 900 days, and anticipate the numbers of the homeless count coming this week.

Alissa, Scott, and Hayes talk about a bunch of big moves in Los Angeles rent control — a new emergency policy in Inglewood, a package of bills going through the state house, and a new ballot measure for 2020 from the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Then DANIEL HERNANDEZ, editor of LA Taco, joins to talk about what’s coming up for his site and the USC admissions scandal that luckily nobody has covered until this episode.

An ENTIRE EPISODE dedicated to Prop 10, the most expensive November state ballot measure in America and one with major ties to LA. Scott, Alissa and Hayes get into Costa-Hawkins, the rent control law that Prop 10 would repeal, the man behind the measure, and what passing or not passing it could mean for the city.
