With all the LADWP bill posts, I thought it would be interesting to show my own history over the years. 2 bed, 1 bath. 2 adults. 13 years of history. X Axis = Month / Year. Y Axis = $

LAPD chopper doing 25+ circles with the searchlight on over and around 15th and Idaho/Montana. Loud af and not catching their target, it seems. I'm out with the dog and avoiding the laneways. Stay safe, folks!

An app where people can ping a location or submit a location, regarding trash, where cleaning volunteers and resources from the city of Los Angeles can both see, and can clean when available at their earliest convenience.

Just had this idea while at training at my new job.

Didn’t think anything all the way through.

Was just a thought I thought I’d spitball in here and everyone could give their two cents.

If you aren’t having a good day, make it one!

Always appreciative of Southcentralcleanup and cleanlawithme on Instagram.

Due to increased ICE activity, we’re instituting a daily ICE megathread. All ICE-related content belongs here, including sightings, activity reports, news, questions, updates, and general discussion.

Centralizing discussion keeps information easy to find, especially for people moving around the city who want timely, relevant updates without having to sort through the entire subreddit. ICE-related content posted outside this megathread will be removed and redirected here.

This thread is sorted by New by default so the most recent information remains visible.

How to use this thread

• Top-level comments are for new sightings, updates, or firsthand information.
• Replies should stay under the relevant comment to keep related info grouped.
• Check existing comments first to avoid duplicate or redundant reports.

We recognize this is a tense topic and emotions can run high. That said, content that incites, encourages, or threatens violence will be removed, may result in a ban, and may also violate Reddit’s site-wide rules, which can carry site-wide consequences. Keep reports factual and grounded.

SALUTE when sharing sightings or activity

Include as many of the following details as possible:

• Size: Number of individuals, vehicles, or units observed
• Activity: What is happening, observed actions or behavior
• Location: Clear, specific description of where this occurred
• Uniform: Identifying markings, clothing, or agency indicators
• Time: Date and approximate time of observation
• Equipment: Vehicles, gear, or other notable tools present

Clear, accurate information helps everyone. Speculation and rumors do not.

I don't know what you're hearing in your parents groups, but the "Baby Onboard" sticker is not a free pass to cut folks off, tailgate, leave your brights on (yes, I know the difference between LED and brights) or any other assholery

If you have the sticker on your car to alert folks to check for your kid after an accident - maaaaaybe don't try and get in one in the first place.

So it looks like Halloween might get rained out. When I was a kid, I remember going to the mall when it rained, but indoor malls are barely a thing anymore. Does anybody know of kid-friendly activities these days, so the holiday isn’t a total bust?

is this clouds or airplane trails in the sky?

In case folks are unaware, the vehicle registration fees can only be changed by a legislative act. The governor cannot change them via an executive order.

Steve Hilton also wants to eliminate the DMV, which, again, is not something the governor has the power to do.

Scheduled THREE virtual apartment tours for their properties. THREE. NOT A SINGLE PERSON SHOWED UP.

Every time, their AI leasing bot (which pretends to be a real human over text) just goes, "Sorry! Wanna reschedule?" LIKE, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? Tried calling the leasing agent, same pre-recorded message: "Hi, I'm sorry, I can't pick up my phone right now, I can text you back later". Tried calling management. Voicemail full. Yeah, I get why it's full.

DOES THIS COMPANY EVEN EMPLOY HUMAN BEINGS??? If they're this incompetent BEFORE I PAY RENT, I can't imagine the life AFTER.

Posting on behalf of a friend who lives in WeHo!

My friend has a couch in his apartment that he has spent days trying to get out the front door, so I’m now coming here as a last resort to see if anyone has advice. He’s tried using movers from both Lugg and Task Rabbit, but no one has been able to fit it through the doorway even though obviously it was able to fit through at one point. His plan is to have 1800 Junk come tomorrow to collect it but I’m guessing they’re going to have the same issue of not being able to even get it out the front door (which is the only entrance and is on the 2nd floor of an apartment building). He said it’s unable to be disassembled since the frame is just large solid wood pieces, but I’m genuinely wondering if it needs to have some parts sawed off or something?

Curious if anyone here is a master mover/furniture wizard and could assist or at least provide some suggestions? TYIA!

View from Hollywood on a beautifully clear Monday

Closely packed retrofit plates, a footing without supporting soil, and a crawlspace that looks straight out of Dune.

This week’s album also includes spalling concrete with exposed rebar and a girder barely bearing on its support post.

Husband and I couldn’t make it :(

Two FREE tickets to tonight’s screening: EGYPTIAN & CRITERION PRESENT: SOME LIKE IT HOT — MARILYN, FASHION & SALVATORE FERRAGAMO
Post-screening conversation with special guests

I love my beautiful City! Here is to you, my home.

I can’t remember it being this clear in a very long time!

They plan on having digital and film first-run movies! Wildwood is showing this week.

Understandably, a lot of the focus on politics is on the Mayoral race between Bass and Raman and maybe the City Attorney and the race in the valley.

The race that has grabbed the least attention is City Council District 9.

Mazariegos (left / blue jacket) vs Ugarte (right/ black jacket)

This isn’t really a shocker to me (I’ve lived here the majority of my life). However, I am making this post to bring awareness to an election that will not only impact resident of South Central directly but also shape the composition of the City Council that impacts the whole city.

Two candidates who have different policy approaches and have different backings.

Ugarte, former aide to Price (the current Councilmember), wants to ban RVs in neighborhoods, build a rail line down Slauson and hire more police officers. He is considered the ‘establishment’ candidate who is backed by the LA Democratic Party and unions (SEIU local 721)

SC Political Endorsements*: City official (Price), county and statewide elected officials (Smallwood-Cuevas, Kamlager-Dove), LAUSD elected officials (Tanya Franklin Ortiz)

Mazariegos, a community organizer, wants to build more housing, hire young people to clean streets and bring social workers into some traditional police domains. He considered the ‘outsider’ candidate who is backed by the progressive groups in LA (UTLA, DSA LA, CA Working Families Party)

SC Political Endorsements*: City officials (City Controller Kenneth Mejia), Assemblymember Elhawary, and LAUSD elected officials (Karla Griego and Rocio Rivas)

Happy to hear people’s thoughts on both candidates.

*there are much more endorsements that can be listed but I am listing the folks that are directly involved in CD 9 one way or another because it is within their service area or adjacent.

For example, Smallwood-Cuevas and Elhawary both represent South Central in the Legislature. Others like Kenneth Mejia is a city-wide official who serves all districts.

Councilmembers voting to veto contract (9)
Raman, Soto-Martinez, Hernandez, Jurado, Hutt, Padilla, Price, Yaroslavsky.

Councilmembers voting to move forward with ALPR pilot (6): Lee, Park, Nazarian, Rodriguez, Blumenfield, Harris-Dawson

At a 10-vote threshold for veto, motion fails and 90 day pilot with Axon will proceed.
