All Politics Is Local â And Itâs The People Who Show Up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BONC AWARDS - There is service. And then there is service. Los Angeles is a city so large that government can sometimes feel a very long way from the people it serves. Yet, tucked into neighborhoods across nearly 500 square miles are volunteers who keep shortening that distance â people who sit through meetings, read agendas, answer emails, organize events, advocate for their neighbors and, very often, show up long before anyone is paying attention. They are Neighborhood Council members. They

OP|ED - You Think You Know What Fire Is? We know the smell of smoke. The red glow over a ridge. The helicopters overhead. The evacuation warning that suddenly becomes an order. We know what it means to look at a road and wonder whether everyone can get out. But there is another F.I.R.E. burning in California.

Never mind Joe Public. Even when he gets to speak, we’ll give him sixty seconds to explain what the project might do to his neighborhood. Then—ding! Microphone cut. On to the next complainer. Developers, wear your all-you-can-eat pants. Need more density? Parking getting in the way? Setbacks? Height? Open s
