The 51-mile LA River meanders from Canoga Park, through the San Fernando Valley and downtown LA, and out to sea in Long Beach.
After devastating floods in the 1800s and early 1900s, the Army Corps of Engineers turned most of it into a concrete channel. In some northern sections, it’s barely more than a trickle most of the year, but it picks up water as it moves south. Efforts have been growing to revitalize stretches of it by reintroducing rocks, trees, river banks, and living organisms.
“You have a river that s been encased in cement,” says Ed Reyes, Executive Director of River LA, a nonprofit dedicated to the future of the river. “There s been a lot of activity as to how we could rejuvenate this corridor.”
Homeless Living in Vehicles, Screwed Again Details

Back in the day of Ed Reyes and Dennis Zine, I’m sure that was true. And it was also true back then that the police and City felt free to tow cars any time they wanted. Of course, that was before the homeless crisis, including a subset of people living in their cars, or trying to.
Anyhow, prominent on the LA City Council Agenda for Wednesday, February 10, 2021 was another attempt to root these homeless folks from living in their vehicles like RV’s. The difference this time was that Gil Cedillo and Curran Price have teamed up to do the deed with a new twist. Here’s the Item and text:
Times Mirror Square, Mike Feuer, and Kevin De León Details
As the LA Times wrote in 2018:
“Formerly known as Times Mirror Square, The Times’ current Civic Center headquarters is a mix of five interconnected structures that fill an entire city block, bounded by Broadway and Spring and 1st and 2nd streets.
Shortly after Omni bought the property for more than $100 million in 2016, the developer filed plans with the city to demolish part of the complex and build a pair of high-rise residential towers and several retail stores and restaurants.”
Right at the height of power enjoyed by CD14’s Jose Huizar and his PLUM Committee, this was a plum for him in more ways than one.
