Episodes

Hayes, Alissa and Chicago Scott tell some nice long LA stories, then get into the new member of the LA Police Commission, the multiple murders of people who were sleeping outside, the Long Beach PD’s secret texting, and what Prop 11 means for ambulance drivers.

Raid on an artists squat on Hollywood Boulevard! The people who yell racial slurs at every City Council meeting might get banned! The first candidate throws her hat in the ring for the 2020 City Council election! And BRYN LINDBLAD from Climate Resolve tells us whether air in LA is healthy, how to cool neighborhoods by 10 to 20 degrees inexpensively, and what she and Alissa saw at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco.

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.

Scott and Alissa on: the Santa Monica scooter decision, a tunnel meeting at Dodger Stadium, the completion of My Figueroa finally, Garcetti raising money for Dems everywhere but LA, the possibility of last call at 4AM, truly horrifying charges against LASD, Patrick Soon-Shiong’s maybe-shady hospital bankruptcy, and the truly bewildering Prop 8.

Alissa Walker returns! More shady LAPD and Sheriff’s Department stories, like five of them! Another bike lane in danger in Silver Lake! Wasted tax incentives for downtown hotels! The president wants to cut 200,000 LA jobs and clear-cut the Los Padres National forest! And our biggest Prop, Lock and Drop It ever: Prop 5 (really Prop 13)!
