Description

Los Angeles Politics and Urbanism Daily is your daily read on Los Angeles civic reform — coverage of City Hall, the LA City Council, Metro, LAUSD, LAPD, and the housing fight from a build-more-housing, accountability-first frame. Episodes track the mayor and council on housing abundance and homelessness response, permit reform that affects small-business owners and ADU builders, Metro transit reliability and rail-station safety, and policing and prosecutorial decisions that shape public-safety outcomes across LA. We surface City Hall votes, LAUSD board decisions, and county supervisor moves that don't otherwise make the daily news cycle. For Angelenos who follow Los Angeles politics, transit, public safety, schools, and urbanism in LA, the show is short, evidence-led, and unapologetic about preferring outcomes over ideology.
