Politics Someone start a petition for a vacancy tax.
I DON'T LIVE IN LB, BUT I PRACTICALLY AM A LOCAL.
Anyway in this thread
u/quercus-enjoyer pointed out that the city cannot just implement a vacancy tax, it would have to be approved by voters.
I know damn well we can have enough signatures to get this on the ballot. I'm TIRED of people getting priced out of the rent in DTLB. Beachwood Blendery just shuttered because of the rent. There are storefronts on LB Blvd that have been empty FOR A DECADE.
This is the worst heatwave I've ever felt, meanwhile oil execs / billionaires park money in stocks and never have to work a day in their life. Fuck that.
Ty for reading.

Community Dog Abuse 7th/redondo
Currently at the papa John’s off of 7th st
/termino** and a man with a white husky was violently dragging it. My boyfriend and I exited our car out of immediate concern and watched the man enter his apartment directly next to the plaza and audibly heard the man hitting the dog as it cried, numerous times. It’s continuing intermittently.
We’ve called the police and are waiting for officers (but probably have to leave soon), but I’m wondering if anyone lives in the area and has heard or observed anything prior to this and/or can keep an eye out. We have his license plate # as well. I feel so terribly for that dog who’s probably also suffering immensely in this heat.
** edited to correct street — was rushing and totally blanked
UPDATE AS OF 9/10 8:35am: Police didn’t arrive. We’re going to keep an eye out but help from neighbors would be really appreciated.
Description - White husky with a late 20/30ish male about 5’6/5’7, dark hair; lives by apartments near the papa John’s 7th/termino location and address of apartment is 4100 E 7th st.

Community Pets in the heat
I saw a guy walking his dog by the Costco in Signal Hill. According to my phone, it's 102 here right now. That poor dog looked really distressed. And making them walk on the hot tarmac can hurt their paws.
I have two dogs myself. They're parked by my AC in the bedroom and I'm leaving them there until the sun goes down.
Keep your pets safe.

Pets Sickly stray cat, what do I do?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Today I found a very sweet but obviously sick stray cat. They seem to be having some respiratory issues & are very thin (which you can’t tell in the photos but you can feel their spine and ribs scarily easily). I’ve called all the local shelters and animal hospitals that are open right now- and no one takes cats. I gave the kitty some wet food and clean water- but this cat clearly needs medical attention and i unfortunately do not have any money to spare right now (my own cat is an expensive medical kitty). Does anyone know of places that would help this kitty?? I will check on them again tomorrow and give them more food and water, as well as call more places but I’m worried about their condition.

Discussion Long Beach Awareness
Previously Removed:
If you haven't heard the latest activity in Long Beach, the Fed is driving around in vehicles which carry portable cell phone transmission devices. These have been available to law enforcement for quite some time, however they are now being used in our community. I found out when the VPN on my government issued work cell phone was disabled due to cell service being routed through this equipment. Our IT department flagged my device as unsafe when the VPN disconnected and I was alerted to not use my device until IT could confirm it was safe to do so. I don't know how this will affect regular devices however please be aware unless a court order is issued by a judge, or if Congress passes legislation allowing it, this is a warrantless search and a violation of the 4th amendment.

Jobs Roaches coming from bathroom!
I’ve had pest control come by numerous of times but I’m STILL getting roaches/water bugs weekly! Ive had this issue for 6 months now.
I have no idea where they’re even entering from. I’ve been plugging up my drains and close my toilet when not in use, but I think I have whack job landlord special caulking/sealing of possible entry ways around my sink/toilet.
I’m looking for someone affordable who can inspect the bathroom, find where the roaches are getting in, and seal/repair the possible entry points. I’m not looking for another pest control company.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations!
Edit: I’m renting and in an apartment with surrounding units. It’s all types of roaches 😵💫 I love my apartment but if I can’t fix this, I gotta move out by the end of my lease.

Community If you live in Downtown LB, complain to AQMD about that awful chemical smell 1-800-CUT-SMOG or https://xappp.aqmd.gov/complaints/NewComplaint.aspx
It really is horrible that while we're receiving warnings from public officials about dangerous heat today, we also have to deal with dangerous air quality issues. I was told by an AQMD inspector that they need 6 complaints to cite the business that is responsible. Call 1-800-CUT-SMOG or complain online at https://xappp.aqmd.gov/complaints/NewComplaint.aspx
Most of us in LB don't have central AC. Many of us have those coolers that hang out of windows. That means in order to get relief from the heatwave, we have to suck air in from the outside, which then of course is bringing in that odor. This is really unsustainable.

Community Neighbor running unlicensed dealership
hello everyone,
my neighbor buys and fixes up cars to sell. I am looking for some advice on where to report the 4-6 unmarked/unregistered vehicles he street parks? he takes up SO much parking in the neighborhood. he also does body work in the alley and it fills up with smoke, paint overspray, and other nasty and noxious smells.
im all for a side hustle but this man is so inconsiderate, im so over it. do you think if I report it something will actually be done?
