… community was “outraged” at Luster’s release, which he attributed to California voter-approved laws making it easier for those convicted of nonviolent felonies to be released early.

How the hell is rape considered nonviolent?

    Lots of huge SUV’s/trucks and heavy EV’s in LA:

    Think about how many F-350’s or U-Haul’s you see on the road. Not many. Now imagine all the Rivians and Cybertrucks are F-350’s or U-Haul trucks.

    We do public polls to determine if a city wants to apply for olympics. We and majority votes no. Except for hotels and bars/restaurants there's little value. For the common people there will be closed streets, clogged and late public transport, price hikes in anything. There's really nothing in it for the rest of us.

    LA begged for this. The city doesn't care about renters. All of California is setup to benefit "natives" at the expense of new residence.

    The city's MO is to benefit landowners and suck as much money from renters as possible
