Three new and insanely Instagrammable dessert shops and bakeries have recently opened around the Denver area.

A plan to build a luxury hotel in Benedict Canyon continues to move forward after the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday deadlocked on a vote to halt the review process.The 7-7 vote rejected a proposal by the council member serving that area to stop the administrative process for the 58-room Bulgari Resort Los Angeles project.Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky, who moved for the halt, told the Los Angeles Times she was "deeply disappointed" by the vote.“This is a bad project,” Yaroslavsky added to the Times. “The process was deeply flawed. It’s Exhibit A for the idea that if you pay enough money to enough lobbyists and you pay for a [project labor agreement], you can build whatever you want, wherever you want.”In addition to environmental concerns of building on a hillside in the Santa Monica Mountains and worries about the impact on residents of the neighborhood, Yaroslavsky has also cited ethical concerns.The previous representative of Council District 5, Paul Koretz, supported ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:43:41 GMT

San Francisco resident Pia Harris hopes for reparations in her lifetime. But the nonprofit program director is not confident that California lawmakers will turn the recommendations of a first-in-the-nation task force into concrete legislation given pushback from opponents who say slavery was a thing of the past.It frustrates Harris, 45, that reparations opponents won’t acknowledge that life for Black people did not improve with the abolition of chattel slavery in 1865. Black families have been unable to accumulate wealth through property ownership and higher education. Black boys and teenagers are still told to watch out for law enforcement, and Black businesses struggle to get loans, she said. State task force approves payments, apology to Black Californians “I want them to stop acting like it’s so far removed, and it’s not currently happening,” said Harris of the lingering effects of slavery and discrimination. “I want them to understand that we’re still going through things now...
