No one buries a lead like the LA Times. Check today’s top story, which took 13 paragraphs to get to the heart of the public health crisis of homelessness in Los Angeles, where City Hall’s answer to failed programs appears to be outsourcing navel gazing about failed programs:

Pianist, keyboardist John Beasley’s “Unlimited Miles: Miles @ 100” recreates and breathes fresh new air into a wide swath of his former employer’s catalogue, from a Kind of Blue medley ending with “All Blues” to two selections from Miles in the Sky: “Paraphernalia” and “Stuff”, each a set highlight. Allstar sextet with Sean Jones-trumpet, @marcustrickland-tenor/soprano, @kurtrosenwinkel-guitar, @benwmsonbass-bass, @TerreonGully-drums.

I’m not buying this—and isn’t it standard practice to cite a municipal code on official warnings?

It seems impressive that the NYC Transit/MTA is checking—until you consider that it’s been nearly three weeks since an inspector posted this notice of a defective emergency brake on a subway train that carries thousands of New Yorkers every day.

Keeping it real with @frankmottek on the Oceanwide mess in Downtown Los Angeles--that bit and more on the devilish details of commercial real estate in the City of Angels starts around the 32:10 mark: omny.fm/shows/kabc-pod…

The “No Kings” crowd trending old and white, based on my entirely anecdotal, unscientific read of traffic on 1 Line on the Upper West Side, where youth hardly stirred as elders called for action while disembarking to join a protest at Columbus Circle.

It’s clear these “No Kings” protesters on way from neighborhood near Columbia University to demonstration at Columbus Circle possess wisdom of experience, with one handing out throat lozenges as preventative measure against chilly day, expectation of lots of shouting.

This from today’s Wall Street Journal might be everything you need to know about the U. S. economy at this point:

Heavy snow or weak tree? It’s blocking the sidewalk either way—could the City of New York send a few of its 280,000 or so workers to handle?
