DON'T POOP ON THE BUS!!!

California’s Senate Bill 79, known as the Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act, was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2025 and takes effect July 1, 2026. The law overrides certain local zoning rules to allow higher density housing near major transit stops. Supporters call it essential to fixing the housing shortage. Opponents say it guts local control and risks displacement. The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) pulled a set of public service announcement videos urging riders to report bad behavior — including people defecating on city buses — after they were published on the agency’s website and YouTube. LADOT says the spots were meant only for onboard screens to educate riders about reporting misconduct (like pooping on the bus), not broad public distribution.  Potholes across Los Angeles have become a growing frustration for drivers, with residents reporting vehicle damage and slow repair turnaround times. According to KTLA, Mayor Karen Bass joined city crews in street repair efforts, highlighting the issue amid complaints about road conditions and infrastructure strain. The city says crews are working to address thousands of reported potholes following recent storms and normal wear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
