LAHSA Is Gone, but the Homeless-Industrial-Complex Lives On (opens the original)
Read excerpt
HOMELESSNESS - Los Angeles’s homelessness program is in complete disarray, undermined by systemic gridlock, structural instability, and the diversion of life-saving funds to consultants. Frankly, this in fact is a twofold civic failure, a humanitarian crisis worsening in plain sight and a leadership failure that lets resources intended to ease suffering be consumed by mismanagement. I repeatedly warned, and did so many times, that without oversight and direction, homelessness would become bleak
Data Centers: Why Supporters and Critics Are Both Rightâand How LA Can (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NICKâS VIEW - The future has arrived, creating new tensions between human ingenuity and the political systems tasked with managing its consequences.

These political players are sidestepping traditional party machinery, and legacy media by using social media, podcasts, independent platforms, and other direct-to-voter channels. This marks a move away from conventional politics and toward grassroots-driven engagement. I see a gradual but persi
Red-Light Fatalities Mount While City Hall Still Contemplates Its Nave (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NICKâS VIEW - Reliable data from Los Angeles Police Department reports show that over the past decade traffic enforcement has fallen by more than eighty percent. Regrettably, as enforcement declines drivers increasingly treat traffic rules as optional. Here we face a double whammy: weak governance is compounded by a breakdown in public behavior, leaving city institutions unable to maintain the basic conditions for safe streets. After years of contributing to Los Angelesâ growth and well-bein
