Thank you to the county supervisors who killed this bad idea. We should preserve, not develop, parks. Yes, we are in a fiscal crisis, but cashing in on public recreational places makes us even poorer.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
