A power line catches fire as the Woolsey fire burns on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, as night falls on November 9, 2018. Insurers can now use catastrophe models of wildfires to hike rates.State Farm, California's largest private insurance provider, will not renew coverage for around 30,000 homes and 42,000 apartments in California beginning July 3.The announcement came after the company raised homeowner insurance rates in the state last week by 20%.
State Farm did not confirm how many of those homes and apartments are in Southern California, but said the decision was driven by “inflation, catastrophe exposure, reinsurance costs, and the limitations of working within decades-old insurance regulations.” She said the state’s insurance reforms favor insurance companies “without a guarantee that a single new homeowner will get access to coverage in California.”
The latest entity pushing to give cash directly to people in need isn’t a nonprofit or an uber-progressive politician — it’s a massive federal agency not typically known for its innovation. “HUD doing this and being willing to look at the role of cash aid or direct cash assistance or subsidies in this way is moving in the right direction,” said Jennifer Loving, CEO of Santa Clara County-based nonprofit Destination: Home. “What would make it incredibly perfect is if they were championing new funding for this.”to discuss cash aid, and has been hosting monthly virtual meetings on the topic attended by nonprofits and housing authorities around the country.
HUD operates the country’s Housing Choice Voucher program , which doles out vouchers to low-income tenants who can’t afford market-rate rent. The program started in the 1970s as an alternative to place-based subsidized housing. Instead of having to rent an apartment in a building specifically designated as affordable housing, the tenant can use the voucher to pay a portion of the rent at any market-rate property.
Margarita Lares, chief programs officer for the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, is less convinced. She worries that without oversight, renters will spend the cash they get from this program on things other than rent — leaving their landlords in the lurch. “We haven’t seen our members jumping at this,” said Amanda Misiko Andere, CEO of Funders Together to End Homelessness, an organization made up of homelessness nonprofits.
Even if these pilot programs get off the ground and succeed — essentially proving to the federal government that cash payments work — what happens next is unclear. HUD has promised to watch these pilots carefully and learn from them, and if they work, it could use the data to encourage Congress to fund larger programs where HUD plays a bigger role.
Measure HLA now requires the city to make the"complete streets" modifications outlined in the Mobility Plan every time a street is repaved.The city now has one year to create a data portal for the public to follow its progress toward the Mobility Plan goals. The city could also be sued if it does not regularly update the portal.

“They took these cultural cuisines, and they made them household staples in the American culinary experience and cultural experience,” he added. One of her signature dishes was her biryani, a piping hot, long-grain rice cooked with a warm, salty, savory blend of spices like cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, and cumin; vegetables like potatoes and onions; and usually a type of marinated meat, often served alongside a diced cucumber and tomato salad and a serving of yogurt.: It’s widely believed that biryani originated in modern-day Iran and was brought to modern-day India via the Mughal empire.
Diners can choose between two types of biryani: The Sindhi biryani, pulling from southeastern Pakistan and characterized by its spicy, savory, and tangy spice blend, plus additional flavor from prunes or plums, or the pulao, made with a simpler and lighter spice blend. There’s also a range of rolls , crinkle-cut masala fries topped with a house spice blend, and potato balls, similar to the beloved Porto’s classic from the outside, but more akin to a classic chapli kabob by taste. A range of lassis flavored with rose or fruits like guava, mango, peach, and strawberry, add a bit of sweetness along with South Asian-inspired cheesecakes topped with nuts and rose petals.
“Most Pakistani restaurants in Southern California, and maybe the U.S. in general, will call themselves Indian because it's easier to do that from a business perspective, because it's less controversial," he added."And you expand your market; there are more Indians than there are Pakistanis, and you don't want to disenfranchise your core constituency. So it's better to say Indian than it is to say Pakistani.
While there are plenty of other Colombian restaurants in Los Angeles, no one else in SoCal is doing Colombian food like Jurado, with his fine dining training and his funky, whimsical streak, making it very much worth the slog down the 710 Freeway to Long Beach to see for yourself what's he cooking up.Selva, which means jungle or rainforest in Spanish, is a nod to the dense jungle surrounding the city of Jurado's birth.
"I don't like to have closed boundaries in terms of food," Jurado told me when I asked how the concept of fusion plays into his cooking style. He hates the word , but understands my shorthand reference to the importance of mixing cultures. His love of junk food also shows up on the brunch menu at Selva with his take on a beloved Colombian street food item, the Colombian Hot Dog.
At Selva,"patron con hogan" is served, smothered in twice-fried -smashed green plantains and a creole sauce made with tomato, onions, cumin, and saffron. Cases rose more than 18% in that time. The L.A. County Department of Public Health recorded 542 cases last year, compared to 458 in 2020. “We have a lot of people traveling internationally, coming in and out of the country, we have a large population of people experiencing homelessness, a large incarcerated population,” she said.Higashi blames the pandemic for the recent rise in cases, since reduced access to medical care may have prevented some infections from being identified. People are also now traveling internationally again, with many traveling from L.A.
