Council members Sanabria and Martiz at different points mention "innocent until proven guilty". Sanabria said that this is standard in his experience having been called into an investigation at a non-profit he was employed at.

According to Lopez there are no major strings attached to the funding from Metro. He clarified that every city is free to determine how they will address the issue of congestion.

There will be a parking study planned in the future and the public works director is suggesting revisiting the project and attaching this to a future project such as the southeast gateway line.

Amanda Del Cid Lugo @adelcidlugo.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
One of the possibilities is a window of hours from 4-7pm no parking solution. They can petition Metro to make a change to how they address traffic congestion.

These comments are on regards to a project that began back in 2019 to award the city of HP funds somewhere around $8M to address traffic congestion along Slauson Ave. The public works director stated that this is in collaboration with Metro to alleviate traffic coming and going from the 710.

In his words "people only start living once they have kids." He also said without owning property or a business you aren't paying taxes into the city and you can't be as invested in caring for the city. To clarify, at least 2 / 5 members of the current council have children at least 1 owns property.

First commenter is an older man who gave comment in Spanish. He made some complaints about the balance of the current council. The major point he makes is that if people don't own property or have kids in the city then they are not truly invested in the community.

Yes, LA Fire Dept. is understaffed. Would more money save us? Even with millions more, LAFD would struggle to contain fires under such extreme conditions. lapublicpress.org/2025/01/lafd...

My cat threw a tantrum, begging to go outside. So now I'm outside with a sinus infection, pushing a cat in a stroller, praying I have enough advil cold and sinus to get me through this week. My life is such a joke sometimes 🙃
