If someone’s too young to buy a beer, they shouldn’t be allowed to carry a hidden, loaded gun in public. But right now, House Republicans are pushing for a bill that would override state gun laws—making it easier for people under 21 to carry concealed guns in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.

If there’s one thing everyone in LA can agree on, it’s that the rent is too high.
While we've updated some policies, the City of Los Angeles has not updated the actual formula that caps rent increases since the Rent Stabilization Ordinance was created over 40 years ago.
