LA is having a ‘homeless moment.’ When was the last time you can recall so much attention being paid to LA’s … and California’s … ever growing homeless crisis? And, what’s responsible for this sudden surge of interest? Columnist Joe Mathews says it’s The Rich! Let him explain it. Top of the page … in Today’s CityWatch.

Metro’s Purple Line has hit a bump in the philosophical road and our planning voice Dick Platkin tries to get everybody back on track.

All of this … and more … in Today’s CityWatch. Make yourself at home. Browse around. Let us know what you think. We’re always happiest when you stop by.
