"A pothole is a gravestone on a pavement that died previously." L.A. paid $54M last year settling claims for "dangerous conditions" on its roads and sidewalks, and its patchwork repairs are making the problem worse. lareported.substack.com/p/la-pothole-b…
To make the budget work, California's bullet train would skip downtown Bakersfield, skip downtown Merced, and run on a single track 89% of the way. The rail authority's own inspector general says that's illegal. lareported.substack.com/p/bullet-train…
"I think if Mayor Bass were running unopposed she'd lose," says Pasadena Councilmember Rick Cole. @robrtgreene on the puzzle of Karen Bass's mayoralty: unpopular, possibly unbeatable, and walking through fire. lareported.substack.com/p/karen-bass-f…
If you like smart local political analysis, then check out the @robrtgreene take on @MayorOfLA on @LA_Reported. (If you don't like that stuff, the rest of the Internet is all yours.) lareported.substack.com/p/karen-bass-f…
"We definitely don't have the resources to make a dent in making the city safer." — a sobering quote from an LAPD traffic sergeant. Citations are down 63%. Fatal crashes are up 55%. Our investigation into why the city's streets are getting deadlier: lareported.substack.com/p/los-angeles-…
California voted for a bullet train connecting L.A. to San Francisco in under 3 hours. The latest plan: High-speed rail from Gilroy to Palmdale, with slower connections at both ends that could make the trip six hours. That's the same as driving time. lareported.substack.com/p/the-bullet-t…
"Had it happened at night, we'd have all died." Juan Galicia lost nearly everything when a fire spread from a house next door — one his neighbors had begged the city to address for a year. @samquinones7 for L.A. Reported: lareported.substack.com/p/hollywood-ho…
This story features data on animal road deaths across L.A. Would love to hear from orgs working on this issue @bestfriends @spcaLA @PasadenaHumane
Over the last decade: human traffic deaths in L.A. were up 33%. Animal traffic deaths were up 38%. Four legs or two, the streets of Los Angeles are shockingly unsafe. Read the full story: lareported.substack.com/p/unsafe-for-a…
A record 33,458 animals were killed on the streets of Los Angeles last year — up 35% since 2020. Human traffic deaths dipped slightly but remain near record highs. For every species, L.A.'s streets are getting deadlier. The latest from @Crys_Villarreal: lareported.substack.com/p/unsafe-for-a…
L.A.'s illegal dump reports jumped from 73K to 91K in one year. The sanitation dept. went 18 years without a fee increase. In the gap, residents are spending their own time and money cleaning up their neighborhoods. @samquinones7 reports: lareported.substack.com/p/las-trash-vi…
Only 16% of #1 plastic bottles in L.A. actually get recycled. The rest? Piling up in warehouses with nowhere to go. @kategammon reports on why the city's recycling system is so broken. lareported.substack.com/p/la-plastic-r…
Three new Metro stations are coming to Wilshire Boulevard this spring, the first subway expansion on L.A.'s most-traveled bus corridor in 30 years. 20,700 daily linked trips projected, growing to 33,700 by 2035. @davidulin on what it means for the city: lareported.substack.com/p/metro-d-line…
An LAPD officer told a librarian to trim "down any trees that provide shade." Emails obtained by L.A. Reported reveal how city officials strip shade from L.A.'s poorest neighborhoods — despite research showing it doesn't work. lareported.substack.com/p/shade-remova…
Other California utilities discount electricity when the sun shines. LADWP doesn't — even though L.A. owns its utility and has pledged to go zero-carbon by 2035. Our latest: lareported.substack.com/p/ladwp-pricing
Co-founder @scottwoolley spoke to @LocalNewsIni about L.A. Reported's vision for local news that's equal parts impactful and fun to read. localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/posts/2026/01/…
One year ago, the fires changed everything. Today we launch with three stories: the fight over what you can plant in your own yard, one writer's year of displacement, and simple steps to protect your home. lareported.substack.com/p/the-fires-on…
A new nonprofit newsroom will launch as a weekly Substack and “focus on what makes Los Angeles livable, or not." niemanlab.org/2026/01/l-a-re…
