LA received about half an inch of rain last night, amounting to over 3.8 billion gallons of water that was largely washed out into the Pacific. Soon, thanks to investments from Measure W, we’ll be able to capture a lot more of that water and source 70% of our water locally.

The City of LA owns hundreds of parking lots that we could be using to build affordable and homeless housing. But by our own rules, if you take those parking spots away, you have to pay to replace them. The average cost of replacing *just 1* parking space is as much as $70,000.

The news out of Monterey Park this morning is horrific. Last night should have been a joyful Lunar New Year celebration. I am sending love this morning to all of the families grieving this tragedy.

It would also mean additional open space for recreational activities and habitat for wildlife. The land borders several large parcels of public land, and could expand the Westridge-Canyonback Wilderness Park on the other side of the 405.

The video of Tyre Nichols’ murder is unbearable. As mother, I cannot begin to comprehend the pain that Rowvaughn Wells is going through. As a human being, I’m furious. Tyre Nichols should be alive today.

No words can express the chilling familiarity of a Black man crying out for his mother as he is beaten to death by officers of the law sworn to protect us. The hearts and prayers of the people of Los Angeles are with the family of Tyre Nichols tonight.

These two shootings are deeply concerning. We have seen a rise in antisemitic attacks in recent months, and while there remain questions on the motivation of these particular shootings, we cannot ignore the pain and trauma that they have triggered in the community.

This morning, the City Council considered an ordinance to allow LADWP to move forward with the RFP and CEQA process for their proposed “green hydrogen” project in Del Mar. This project has a number of vulnerabilities that concern me.

The owners of Senderos Canyon have attempted to sell the land for over a decade. The problem is that 90% of the available land is undevelopable, and would require massive investment to build on. So, after years of massive price cuts, the land is finally going up for auction.

The City of LA has made great progress over the past decade as a global leader in the fight against climate change. However, efforts to marshall sustainability efforts are not codified into law or legally enforceable in LA.

Part of what got me out the door though was knowing that *we* get to decide what the world looks like for women and girls in this country. Generations of women have fought to make the world better for their daughters, and it's on us to continue that work.
