4. HELP STOP HOUSING BILLS – CONTACT GOV. NEWSOM
From Councilmember Paul Koretz:
Unfortunately, the State Assembly voted to Pass both SB 9 and SB 10. Both bills passed the Assembly despite efforts from the Los Angeles City Council that voted to officially OPPOSE both bills, along with a statewide coalition of local governments and community activists.
Our only hope now is to lobby the Governor to veto these two bills.
Contact Gov. Newsom – Click here
These bills were created and designed by developers and real estate investors under false branding of “affordable housing.” Rather, they are “trickle down housing” policies based on the erroneous premise that incentivizing more luxury housing will miraculously produce more affordable housing.
They do nothing to help solve homelessness, nothing to build workforce housing or address any of the real shortages of affordable housing, and would make developers and investors richer in the process. Moreover, if both are signed into law, they will drive up the cost of real estate by de facto up-zoning most properties and decimate environmental review.
Acting today is critical to STOP SB 9 & 10 so please contact Governor Newsom by clicking here. Select Subject SB00009 and SB00010 from the pull-down menu.
5. DROUGHT CONDITIONS – PLEASE CONSERVE WATER
California Is In Drought
Please Reduce Your Water Use
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) spoke out this week to heighten public awareness of the worsening water shortage affecting the state of California and calling on our customers to redouble their efforts to further conserve water.
Ways to conserve water:
- Limit outdoor watering
- Use recycled water when possible outdoors
- Take shorter showers
- Only run dishwashers and washing machines when they are full

An installation of consumer goods and materials that addresses the legacy of colonialism and violence in Hollywood westerns.

9. RESIDENT ADS
POOL CLEANING SERVICE – REFERRAL NEEDED
I am hoping someone else in the neighborhood has a recommendation for a reliable pool cleaning service.
The nice gentleman that took care of us for the past 10 years recently moved out of state and the person he recommended has not worked out unfortunately.
