los angeles, i think the los angeles city council approved a developer contribution rule similar to theone we were just talking about in prop f and there was some discussion in los angeles about whether that prohibition should extend to payments made by developers. i don't think they have that but it's been part of the discussion down there. so, to answer your question, yes, it's regulated in some cases considering being regulated in those places >> in a future meeting, if it's inappropriate to discuss here, i would like to actually sew a report if possible, just on if there's any trends in terms of the reporting that that's been received to date to see how many payments have been made, how much have been made and to whom. >> it could be maybe -- >> are you talking specifically about the new payment disclosures created here? >> yes. >> yeah, i would be glad to. i can tell you right now that there have been very few. of the 3.610 disclosures by the officials making the ask for the payment, i think we've had a dozen or fewer disclosures and four filers and they're all members of the board

in los angeles city and county departments alone, more than 1000 fire departments are in more than $100,000 just in overtime last year. experts say it is more firefighters because of the cost of training and benefits for new employees. >>> documents show that the executive director spent tens tens of thousands of dollars of public money without authorization. after a public records request, the bay area news group reports that a $25,000 payment to former state senator and what he did for the coliseum authority. he paid for nba tickets for lawyers and out-of-state travel without approval. last week, prosecutors found criminal charges against him for seeking a $50,000 fee for helping negotiate a coliseum naming righty deal. >>> tomorrow is a important day. the house committee is expected to resent the evidence against steve paulson-met. here is the latest from washington. >> reporter: think of tomorrow as opening arguments in a trial is one step closer to impeachment with members say it could happen at some point by the end of the week. late friday, the council said the administration would n

woman: there is a hidden jungle in cities like los angeles, and a hidden savannah and hidden wetlands, and other kinds of ecosystemsms. pauly: there's no magic line where nature stops and city begins. it's all a giant matrix. and in the most urbanized parts of los angeles, you can still find literally thousands of specieses of plants and animals. heise: the conventional wisdom used to be that cities are biodiversity wastelands, and we're now beginning to rethink that in two major ways. one is that actually, there's a lot of biodiversity in cities, much more soso than we had originally known. the other challenge is to think about how we might make this environment that was built by us in terms of buildings, in terms of the parks that we've planted, in terms of the gardens that some of us take care of on a daily basis. how could we make this habitat more hospitable toto non-human species? [coyote barks] [barks] pauly: understanding how species are adapting to urban areas is an area of research that people are really just starting to get serious about studying. things like coyotes and mo

so you grew up in los angeles? [smith] city of compton. your parents, actually, were not from los angeles. they were from the deep south, right? [mo'] yes, they were from, my mother was frks, texas, and my father was from heflin, louisiana. [smith] yeah, do you remember listening to music as a kid, in the house or?

[smith] well, nothing wrong. (audience laughs and applauds) if we age on nothing else, let's agree, nothing wrong with johnny mathis, right? [mo'] johnny mathis' "greatest hits" was a great album.

. >> genuinely unseen situation outside of the city weather baltimore, los angeles, chicago you thinktown, the entire encompassing city where this is a small group of people effectively a small percentage victimizing everyone else in the city. people of color, whether middle-class or lower income scale, and it is those american citizens who want protection who want leadership. this, for me, certainly we know it is gun-control policy. we see those of course victimize cities and like chicago and in baltimore. sanctuary city policies whether complete or partial, but it is signaling leadership that anything goes. that it is like in californiars decriminalizing certain crimes right? in new york, the quality of life elements were decriminalized where you can defecate on the sidewalk. you will not be arrested if drunk walking down the street. it sends the message to the rest of the community that nobody cares. that leadership doesn't care. if leadership doesn't care about the city, why should the average criminal? and that is what ends up victimizing everyone who relies on leadership, regard

baltimore, maryland, chicago, illinois, new york city, los angeles, san francisco, it is remarkable. kansas city, albuquerque, memphis. we are looking at great american cities that became great because of the people in them. and one of the problems is, people who are subjected to this leadership become isolated and began to feel there is no way out. and then republicans have got to step up. i would say republicans in the past have abandon certain cities as belonging to the democrats. president trump is trying to reverse that come up with the fact is, these are american citizens who are from and their families are from, have built up the cities. they are the history of these cities. we have abandoned them here or there is a way to change it. america was headed into that direction under obama. we change that and we can help change the cities as well with different leadership. >> dan: larry, i have a minute left. one thing that bothers me is these kids need a shot. it's not just the terrible government and social welfare state but school choice. if this was happening in a white middle c

meanwhile in los angeles the city has filed a lawsuit against the faa over the noise and air traffic problems from the hollywood burbank airport. a lawsuit also alleges the faa has not followed the departure flight path. after many residents complained about increased aircraft noise a task force was formed and the faa officials say the agency is committed to working with the community to find a solution. >>> a massive bay area theft ring busted uncovering two and half million dollars worth of stolen goods. investigators say they found out how organized criminals are able to steal so much. these targeted luxury stores and broke into cars and swipe packages awful porches. the goods were then sold at b.a.r.t. stations for cash before they were stripped of barcodes or result in pieces. thieves often let little more than a broken glass in the wake but investigators found a way to track the illegal business. >> one of the ways that we confirm that they might be doing something was a number of packages that were coming from this location and coming out-of- state. >> the investigation is sti

bigger issue and you look at south bend and you look at the 100,000 people, where in los angeles tonight, we have 15 citiess angeles county that are larger than south bend, indiana. we have almost twice the population in los angeles county than they have in south bend and to become president, you have to be able to appeal across race, religion, and gender. he has to start listening to do that. >> bret: if you look at the way, among african-americans, pete buttigieg is at the bottom of the list, 4% in the latest q poll. he was asked about why president biden is getting all the african support. >> no, this one can and it who has a major advantage right now. i don't take its permanent or to go out there and share it. >> bret: can he close the gap? >> ethic it's going to be very problematic or not troubled bank, and that he can, and for a few different reasons, biden has a name that residents with the community due to the connectionh president obama. i think there's a larger problem within the race and not just pete buttigieg, joe biden, and michael bloomberg, you look at the fact that joe biden was literally

it got heated at the last democratic debate of the year, in los angeles the city hit hard by california gross and jobs, it said they were focused on elizabeth warren calling out pete buttigieg for his wine cave fundraiser for donors. let's take us to don. great to see you. >> great to be here. merry christmas to you. liz: this headline says it all, the debate that did not matter. your reaction to leslie's debate? >> i will call another debate that did not matter. it was not really a debate, there is a moderate amount of polite snipping us between buttigieg and warren, but what is happening is the moderators are throwing the sequence of softballs to a field of candidates and anyone would be delighted to have president and giving them a chance to put their wares on display for the consumer. they're not debating each other or fighting each other, this is not a campaign it's a beauty contest if that. liz: to your point, they're not going to be ready for "primetime" if you're getting softball questions, where is the job debate for the democrats, for the first time ever the u.s. has started a

jaxon, how is what mayor liccardo is talking about different from what cities like los angeles have doneities outright own their part of the system. they run it. this would be an intermediary situation where ai non-profit corporation would take on that role, the difference, of course, being that it wouldn't be pg&e and it wouldn't be a direct government enterprise either. >> what does this matter? what kind of change does this do? >> well, it allows the cities involved and they have to almost universally get together and agree to run the utility and set safety or perhaps lower the rates. the idea is to take it over for the purposes of getting it out of the pg&e private enterprise role. >> okay. the big question is as a customer, why might i want my city to leave pg&e and join a co-op? what's in it for me? >> the hope is you can get safer, cheaper energy. the problem is our city or in this case a non-profit takes on all the responsibilities, they also take on all the liabilities. and that means wild fire liabilities. and right now the way this is structured, there's no way that the non-pr

issues as well but what is interesting, and we seeing it with this rally, demonstration in los angeles, repeated in cities people are becoming more engaged with the impeachment process and with the trial likely to happen in early january, it and with the trial likely to happen in earlyjanuary, it will be a televised process as indeed will be the final hearing in the house of representatives when the articles of impeachment will be passed later on wednesday, people will be watching on their televisions and that's why this is becoming ever more significant, especially for the democrats as they approach the election next year and the opportunity to perhaps replace president trump in the white house. the president is right when he says this is a partisan political process but he is wrong when he says it's antidemocratic, it is set out in the us constitution and could have engaged much more strongly in the process. this seems to be the great error as far as the democrats see it. in the angry letter his written where he complains about not being given due process, his opportunity to put his side of the story. h

it's something that matters to cities like los angeles and seattle. reated a lot of discussion in cities throughout the west about how they can tackle this giant problem of homelessness. jason: in your story, noah, you do talk about some of what cities have done to try and combat this, especially at a time where if you talk to people in los angeles, san francisco, seattle, they talk about this massive rise in homelessness, which obviously has something to do, large part to do with the affordability of housing. what have we seen those individual cities do to combat this so far? noah: well, what you've seen broadly is an uptick in laws that criminalize camping or sleeping in public. the ninth circuit decision really calls some of those into question. it's made a lot of cities back away from those bans. the question long-term, the bigger question that looms, is how are you going to solve homelessness? a lot of people in the west and across the country recognize it's a problem, but there's a robust and active debate on what you do about it. on the one side

people crossing the border trying to make lives in the united states are like people from los angeles, they are city folks. they are going into the desert with open toed shoes and being lied to, those lights over there, that is phoenix. every year, there are people dying in the desert out of ignorance. with no what we do, more deaths, is to place food, caches of water. we also go to the other side. i wanted to know how many people were aware of the continuing deaths, because it is no longer being covered. days ago, was vindicated for doing this kind of work while our administration is trying to prosecute. >> that is a great question. i don't think many people are aware of the civil society, the ngo's that do that kind of work along the border. scott warren's acquittal was pretty amazing this week. one of the most fascinating stories i have done is in group basedbout a largely out of san diego. they are comprised entirely of immigrants themselves. they go out into the desert each weekend. they make it their mission to find the remains of people who perished during the crossing, to give family members

cities that we visited regarding this book from los angeles, dubai, shanghai each is a different approach but what they have to do is figure out how to make things work efficiently, cleanly and also giving everybody a chance to move around and not just the rich. questions of equity as well. >> host: how is the approach and los angeles to the mobility generation different than that in dubai? >> guest: wall, los angeles is a hard place to govern but there are scores of different municipalities within los angeles county and there are -- there is a lot of freedom and that is part of what makes the united states and especially california unique and so it's a hard place to govern whereas dubai there's the essential authority has a lot of power. dubai is organizing things so that they can control movement. they are investing in all kinds of new technology and like los angeles they are looking to become a test fed for flying machines, robotic cars and all the rest but all of the data in dubai will go to a command center and that command cente center -- the goal in that command center is to move p

i saw it firsthand when i went to skid row in los angeles where almost 8,000 homeless people live. the citynty of los angeles submitted briefs in support of the supreme court taking up the appeal of the 9th circuit decision. they were among about 20 briefs submitted. but with this decision by the court to not review the appeal, officials in those cities say they're now looking for different ways to combat the risks and dangers that come with homeless encampments. while the nation was fixated on impeachment, this development is part of what i've said is the president's more lasting impact -- his judicial appointments. in the 9th circuit alone of the 29 active seats in that court the president appointed ten of them, changing what that been famously liberal, albeit not in time to impact the homeless case. the three 9th circuit judges that heard the case were all nominated by democratic presidents. but what boise illustrates is the power that appellate courts have as the final word on a that j majority of federal matters. president trump is on pace to far surpass the number of appointments made

think about you have a population in 2012 about 500000 african-americans who reside within the city of los angeles which is 459 square miles and a large percentage of them the greater number of are not connected to work in los angeles one in 18 african-americans own homes the actual homeless population and this 50 square block area is about 4500 but when we talk about south central los angeles combined south central los angeles homelessness combined with downtown los angeles homelessness we're talking about 20000 people skin. role. exists within the center of power in los angeles and i think it's important to note that skid row thievin in los angeles california is a well kept secret this is the epicenter this is the epicenter of poverty and if you can't fix it here you can't fix it any. of. the largest amount of homeless people are african-american children because of you render why and why men homeless and she has 3 children what happens is there's not a lot of housing for women and children so the woman goes into transitional housing by herself and those 3 kids usually get split into different f
