I, California Hypocrite (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ELIOT'S CORNER - California thinks it can prevent global warming by telling you what car to buy and what tires you must drive on. Meanwhile, Asian pollution wafts over the Pacific, raising our ozone levels; sewage and encampments contaminate our southern coastline. Poor forest management fosters conditions for hellish wildfires, negating all the effort California has put into decarbonization. This is environmentalism turned upside down. Its purpose should be to improve human life: cleaner water,
Fifteen Years of Work and Sweat, Sixty Days to Vacate (opens the original)

MOVE IT AND LOSE IT - Los Angeles is unfair. City Hall recognizes that an eviction can devastate a family, but where is that concern when displacement destroys the small business that supports the family?

Los Angeles built a homelessness system that rewards contractors, excuses lawlessness, and leaves addicted and mentally ill people to rot on the street. Housing First is a euphemism for more tents, encampments, psychosis, fentanyl, methamphetamine, public defecation, fires, assaults, robberies, and corpses. Drug overdoses alone kill more than six people a day across Los Angeles County. Housing costs matter. A family priced out after losing a job needs rent assistance and a roof. But the populati
