  • big Mike Bonin fan!

    Mike Bonin is an amazing counsel member and an all around amazing human being. He is among the few in LA actually trying to solve the homelessness crisis instead of just sweeping it under the rug. I am proud that my city has someone like him trying to make change for the better. It’s always been obvious that his only goal is to help his constituents, he is so down to Earth!!

  • Mike Bonin is the worst politician in Los Angeles

    Lies and more lies. He’s anti tax paying resident, pro criminal and pro homeless being allowed to do whatever they want including being able to pitch tents in front of our houses. He refuses to implement any laws or rules on the drug addict vagrants that have invaded and destroyed Venice and the west side. He allows and encourages drug use on our streets and sidewalks by vagrants who steal from the residents and break into local businesses. He refuses to help the average resident, pushes all the... more

  • More Bonin Lies

    This guys’ hype machine is on full blast and always broken. He’s destroyed the Westside of LA and now he wants to tell the world what a fantastic job he’s doing? Pass!

    Also, with budget cuts, furlows, not enough people to do the work, and record high homelessness... is this the best use of my councilmember’s time?

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is California Moving Forward or Backward on the Environment?
Q: From your perspective, what were the biggest environmental policy wins this year?
Reauthorizing cap and invest, expanding the Wildfire Fund, creating an Environmental Justice Bureau, and efforts to coordinate a diversified energy grid were notable steps, even as they came with caveats about not meeting all targets or addressing deep-seated concerns.
What's the fuss about ULA?
Q: What are the main criticisms of ULA from academic studies?
Critics from UCLA Lewis Center argued it reduced high-value transactions and slowed development, but proponents counter that later analyses show increased market activity and ongoing development incentives; the debate centers on how to measure impact and the role of incentives like CHIP.
What's the fuss about ULA?
Q: Tell me what ULA is and who behind the coalition?
ULA is a real estate transfer tax aimed at funding affordable housing and homelessness prevention; it is backed by the United to House LA coalition, a broad alliance of housing advocates, service providers, labor unions, faith groups, and community organizations.
MIKE NEWHOUSE: State Senate Candidate Spotlight
Q: What is the core housing policy you would push in the Senate?
I would push policies that incentivize development of housing through targeted density bonuses, streamlined adaptive reuse, and state-level incentives for affordable units, while protecting community character and infrastructure.
The Queer Erasure of Wallis Annenberg (with Karen Ocamb)
Q: What are some personal memories that reveal Wallis's human side?
