Carter had previously scrutinized leases for the private Brentwood School’s athletic facilities, a parking lot company, an oil drilling enterprise and UCLA’s baseball stadium.Ruling that the campus was meant to aid veterans, Carter ordered the VA to not renew the leases and quickly build 750 units of temporary housing and 1,800 units of permanent housing.But Car

After 10 years of bilingual education in California, demand is high but teacher supply low
Julian Moreno-Maciel, a bilingual education teacher trainee in UC Berkeley’s Teacher Education program.(Manny Herrera / Courtesy Cati de los Rios )In 2017, only about 400 public schools in the state offered bilingual education. But in the 10 years since voters approved Prop 58 overturning the ban on bilingual teaching, that number has now grown to more than 1,000. It's still not enough to meet the demand from parents and caregivers who want their kids to have the advantages of bilingualism, as well as academic support for Spanish and other languages spoken at home.California officials now want to increase the number of public schools to 1,600 by 2030.“These programs have expanded quickly, but these schools continue to really struggle to find and retain the teachers to teach in them,” said Cati de los Rios, an associate professor of language, literacy, and culture at UC Berkeley.She said the lag in the teacher pipeline is the main problem. The bilingual education ban, approved by voters

Your Los Angeles Restaurant Weekend Guide: September 11
Branzino. | Shelby Moore Every Friday, our editors compile a trusty list of recommendations to answer the most pressing of questions: “Where should I eat?“ Here are four places to check out this weekend in Los Angeles. And if you need some ideas on where to drink, here’s our list of the hottest places to get cocktails in town. For Korean coffee drinks and Spam musubi: Mokja in Highland Park Chef Debbie Lee has teamed up with Be Bright’s Frank La to open Mokja, a Korean cafe and market tucked behind Yi Cha in Highland Park. Just more than a month in, Mokja seems to already be firing on all cylinders, churning out refreshing yuzu cold brews and musubi stacked with salty Spam and a fluffy slab of egg. The mayak egg sando has become an early hit, along with the fall apart tender oxtail handpie. Mokja feels like the type of place that will grow into a neighborhood staple, whether you’re looking to catch up with friends over a cup of coffee or build your own ramen for a quick lunch. Be sure

Laguna Beach in local emergency from coastal erosion as city looks ahead to El Niño
A beachgoer takes a dip as high surf rushes up in Laguna Beach on Sept. 4, 2026.(Don Leach / Getty Images)Topline:Laguna Beach is now in a local emergency because of coastal erosion, city officials announced Thursday.The backstory: The emergency proclamation follows a loss of sand from the ocean swell of Tropical Storm Marie, which caused damage along parts of Southern California’s coast, including Dana Point, Malibu and Long Beach. In Laguna Beach, the city says six oceanfront homes have been yellow-tagged, and the parking lot for Aliso Beach "has partially failed," leaving the lot and three other areas temporarily closed.Why now: Dave Kiff, city manager, said most residents haven’t seen this much sand leave the city’s beaches at once. “We expect it to come back, but we are not counting on it, and with a very strong El Niño forecast we need the ability to act quickly to protect homes, beaches and public infrastructure,” Kiff said in a statement. The city didn’t immediately respond to

Street vending 101: What’s actually legal in LA
A fruit vendor sells on Whittier Boulevard in East L.A. ( Andrew Lopez / Boyle Heights Beat)Last month, street vending became a flashpoint during one of the recent debates for L.A. mayor when incumbent Karen Bass said, "I do not think that you should have a food vendor in front of a restaurant. Period," drawing a comparison to unhoused encampments.The remarks set off an almost immediate backlash. Mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, who has her own 9-point plan to support street vendors, said Bass "took a shot" at the street vending community and reiterated her commitment to work toward regulations and legalizing their operations.Bass's office later eased its stance, saying it had directed the LAPD to stop issuing criminal citations to street vendors — and to dismiss any that had been issued in error.Street vending remains part of the Los Angeles landscape, and the backlash from the debate brought to light just how confusing its legality can be. To understand how we got here, it helps to st

The Most Anticipated Los Angeles Restaurant Openings, Fall 2026
An herby roasted trout at Sous Sous. | Patrick Michael Chin for Casetta As summer comes racing to an end (ideally, Southern California’s blisteringly hot weather will do the same), Los Angeles has an exciting roster of new restaurants entering the city this fall. This lineup feels like a welcome sight, especially during a challenging year when longtime favorites continue to close. Starting in mid-September, Los Angeles will welcome a stunning new restaurant inside a nearly 100-year-old Silver Lake church, one within the staggeringly futuristic Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, and a cocktail bar above the ultra-popular Daisy in Sherman Oaks.

As Americans gather to remember 9/11, they're also divided about its legacy
(Mario Tama / Getty Images) When the 9/11 terrorist attacks began on a blue-sky morning 25 years ago, the Rev. Eric Olsen was working in upstate New York. The National Guard unit where Olsen served as chaplain scrambled to deploy and served for months on a security detail around the massive pile of wreckage at ground zero, site of the World Trade Center's fallen twin towers in New York City. "There was all this uncertainty," Olsen recalls. "Are there going to be more attacks? Is this just the forerunner?" A quarter century later, a politically and culturally divided United States is commemorating a day of violence, loss and heroism that altered the trajectory of the nation, sending people's lives spiraling in directions they could never have expected. "I intend to take some time to myself to pray, contemplate and grieve," says Olsen, who served a harrowing tour in Iraq and spent more than a decade of active Guard service counseling military personnel caught up in ensuing wars in Afghan

A cooling trend is here for the weekend, but how cool is it going to get?
A view of the San Gabriel Mountains.(trekandshoot/Getty Images / iStockphoto)Topline:Believe it or not, cooler temperatures are on the horizon as the tropical moisture brought on by Torpical Storm Marie exits the region.Why now: According to the National Weather Service, a trough pattern is coming in to push away the upper level ridge that’s been creating warmer temperatures and trapping tropical moisture (hence the muggy feeling). NWS says the new system will allow for more onshore air flow and even the return of the marine layer tonight through the weekend for most coastal areas.The forecast: Today, we’re looking at highs from 79 to 84 degrees at L.A. County beaches and 89 to 94 degrees for the inland coast. In the valleys, temperatures will reach 92 to 99 degrees. Ventura County areas will see highs from 89 to 98 degrees inland and 83 to 88 degrees closer to the coast.In Orange County, temperatures along the coast will range from 80 to 90 degrees and 87 to 94 degrees more inland.

Lineage sues solar company and contractor, blames them for warehouse fire in Boyle Heights
The Lineage warehouse in Boyle Heights on August 31, 2026. (Brian Feinzeimer / The LA Local)Lineage Logistics sued a solar power provider and its contractor Thursday, blaming them for the fire that destroyed its cold storage facility and plagued Boyle Heights and surrounding communities with polluted, foul-smelling air for months.The company accuses Altus Power, Inc., Los Palos Street Operating, LLC, and Pearce Services of failing to address faults in the massive solar array installed on the 500,000-square-foot facility’s roof. Faulty electrical in that array led to a fire in 2024, and the same problems sparked the fire on June 17, Lineage claims in the suit.“This lawsuit is about Altus and Pearce starting this fire and then being nowhere to be found when the community needed help,” said Greg Lehmkuhl, president & CEO of Lineage, in a prepared statement.The fire remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Fire Department, and its cause has not yet been determined.

DOJ opens investigation into conditions inside LA's Men's Central Jail
The Jail complex in downtown Los Angeles(Robert Garrova / LAist)Topline:The U.S. Department of Justice announced Wednesday that it has opened an investigation into the Men’s Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles, specifically looking into whether L.A. County has failed to provide environmentally safe, humane and habitable conditions for people held there.The details: The jail has long been plagued by allegations of poor conditions. Monitors from the American Civil Liberties Union have documented problems including overcrowding, severe mold and mildew, and rodent infestations.The context: The federal investigation is expected to focus on conditions within the facility and not the actions of the county sheriff’s deputies who staff it, according to the Justice Department. The new investigation is separate from a 2015 settlement between the county and federal government, which stemmed from allegations of inadequate mental health care provided at county jails.What happens next: Investigators

Chef Keith Corbin Gets Experimental with Alta Adam’s New Menu
New dishes at Alta Adams. | Yasara Gunawardena Alta Adams recently went through a months-long metamorphosis, closing from February to May of this year and emerging as a restaurant reimagined. The interior was refreshed while the California Soul menu that put chef Keith Corbin on the map got an infusion of new dishes and inspiration. Corbin told Eater that Alta, “still [has] Southern aspects here,” but the menu is no longer “just based around the same 10 to 15 dishes everyone knows.” Instead, Corbin used his soul cooking chops to shape a hyperseasonal menu influenced by his travels and the different communities of Los Angeles with nods to Mexican, Nigerian, Tunisian, and Japanese cuisines. Whether that be serving mole alongside his duck dish or using miso and koji caramel, the new Alta is an homage to Keith Corbin’s experiences and how he witnesses Los Angeles. What to order The black-eyed pea salad is a crash-course in playful textures with salty pops of meaty ham hock against the nut

Alto in Studio City Demands Your Attention
Pork txuleta at Alto in Studio City. | Matthew Kang Given the supremacy of Mexican and Central American cuisines in greater Los Angeles, it’s noteworthy when flavors from South American countries make a mark in the city; think Carlitos Gardel’s Argentine steakhouse fare, H&H’s Brazilian barbecue specialties, and now the Argentine-Uruguayan wood-fired dishes from Studio City’s Alto. Coming from chef Esteban Klenzi and Juana Castellanos, the rustic dining room with mottled blue hues, soft white skylights, and dark mahogany beams visually gives way to the lower-level open wood-fired kitchen. The roar of the fires and gentle music render a magical, escapist quality, like you’re pulled into a hidden restaurant inside a five-star hotel in Buenos Aires. Once seated, you’re likely going to start with one of four house breads, like the tapioca cheese bread or torta frita dressed with rosemary honey. From there, you can choose your meat-filled adventure that will progress from charred beef empan

Where to Eat Big, Juicy Steaks in Los Angeles
Kali Steak. | Wonho Frank Lee A richly marbled, perfectly grilled steak is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Thankfully, Los Angeles has no shortage of feast-worthy steakhouses, with top-tier restaurants serving inventive and classic cocktails and sides, as well as all kinds of expertly rendered red meat. If classic chophouses, modern steak palaces, or lounges that serve dashes of Japanese flavors are objects of your dinner desire, steakhouses in Los Angeles will easily satisfy. Here are the best steakhouses in Los Angeles; for grilling action in Los Angeles’s Koreatown, visit the Korean barbecue map. Changes this round: West Hollywood’s Boa leaves the list, while longtime tiki steakhouse icon Damon’s, tony chain Lucky’s, and Argentine-Uruguayan Alto join. Matthew Kang tries to visit a steakhouse at least once a month because it offers, in some ways, the most accessible kind of upscale dining. His favorite cut of steak might be the bone-in rib-eye, dry-aged at least 35 days, grilled ov

Best Los Angeles Restaurants for Takeout and Delivery, According to Eater Editors
Top Restaurant's fried chicken. | Wonho Frank Lee Over the past few years, almost every restaurant has had to figure out a way to offer some version of takeout and delivery food, but that does not mean that everyone has mastered the craft. There are definitely certain kinds of food that can work well after a few minutes of sitting in to-go containers, like Filipino rice dishes or Thai curries, and sometimes restaurants do an exemplary job of preparing foods so they can be thoughtfully reheated without changing the integrity of the flavors — or eaten on the spot inside a car. It’s no easy task to sort through the middling takeout options, though, so best to leave it to the professionals. Here are the best restaurants that have perfected takeout and delivery in Los Angeles. New this update: This update adds a handful of picks to the list, including Valley vegan restaurant El Cocinero, Caribbean restaurant Bridgetown Roti, and Persian restaurants Kuku Cafe and Taste of Tehran.

Rossoblu and Employees Only Are Los Angeles’s Latest Brutal Restaurant Closures
Rossoblu, Downtown Los Angeles | Wonho Frank Lee Over Labor Day weekend, a locally loved Downtown Los Angeles Italian restaurant and West Hollywood bar, the latter originally a transplant from New York, separately announced they would cease operations in 2026. The nearly 10-year-old Rossoblu, chef Steve Samson and wife–business partner Dina Samson’s Northern Italian restaurant, will close on Sunday, November 1, 2026; the Samsons tell Eater they recently sold the business. West Hollywood’s Employees Only, which debuted in 2018 on Santa Monica Boulevard slightly west of Fairfax Avenue, will serve its final cocktail on Sunday, September 27. Both business owners echoed similar challenges surrounding the general dining slowdown in Los Angeles, plus cost increases with labor, rent, ingredients, and more. Employees Only managing partner Tom Sopit says that the current business and consumer climate made it difficult to stay open. “It wasn’t really one thing that killed us,” says Sopit. “It was

Best things to do in LA and SoCal: Sept. 9-15
Celebrate Orange County's Latino communities at Santa Ana's Fiestas Patrias on Sept. 12 and 13.(Courtesy City of Santa Ana)I was fortunate to get a sneak peek at the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art last week and given how many thoughts our Best Things to Do readers had on the new LACMA Geffen Galleries, I can’t wait to hear what you think of the Lucas once it opens to the public on Sept. 22. Please share your thoughts when you go!I was blown away by the building — it’s light and airy while feeling futuristic and somewhat imposing at the same time. The gardens are green and have plenty of places to sit and soak up the sun or the shade, and the reading room (which will be free and open to all) is definitely going on the "best places to cowork" list. The art collection is mostly organized by subject rather than era and includes works by artists from Norman Rockwell to Frida Kahlo to Banksy to Lucas himself via the many pieces of Star Wars history on display.

The Best French Restaurants in Los Angeles
Camélia. | Wonho Frank Lee For those seeking French fare across the city, look no further than these charming, California-coded bistros and brasseries. Each place fits the bill for romantic date nights or casual lunches with friends over classics like steak frites, croque monsieurs, and escargot, all washed down with a bottle of Bordeaux, of course.
