Ask most people who's becoming homeless in LA, and most will guess wrong.
It's seniors.
We can fix this and it starts with building more affordable housing.

Proud to take part in a roundtable with national housing stakeholders yesterday.
I’m grateful to @repemiliasykes.bsky.social and @friedman.house.gov for bringing us together and to all the advocates for making clear why we need to keep up the momentum to lower the cost of housing.
That's why I wrote legislation like the Rim of the Valley Corridor Protection Act and Public Access Protection Act, two bills which will expand and protect access to the green spaces that we all love. (2/2)
California is a world-wide destination for our spectacular wildlands. July is National Parks and Recreation Month, and I can’t imagine a better time to get out and explore all of CA’s amazing resources. (1/2)
Brendan Carr’s op-ed is so self-defeating it demolishes its own argument.
He just wants to let massive corporations and billionaires control even more of what you see on your local news.
It's the opposite of the local, independent news he claims to be saving. Don't buy it.

The two $250,000 federal investments that Rep. Laura Friedman, D-Calif., announced Tuesday aim to bring shade, seating and lighting to LA bus stops while enhancing Metro and Metrolink ahead of the 2028 Olympics.

“People can’t afford rent. Other people, particularly young families, feel that owning a home is completely out of reach for them—not just now, but at any point.”
@friedman.house.gov on her effort to eliminate unnecessary reviews that delay affordable housing projects and drive up costs.

“You want housing to be right near that transit so that people who are commuting can actually walk to the train and get where they need to go.”
@friedman.house.gov discusses the BUILD Hubs Act and her effort to make federal transit-oriented development programs more effective.
When studios merge, we hear a lot about "efficiencies."
What that could mean: lost jobs, fewer productions, empty soundstages, and higher prices. And it's not just people behind the camera. The coffee shops, the caterers, the dry cleaners, and so many other businesses, feel it too.
Thanks to 535 News and @lacaldwelldc.bsky.social for having me on to discuss. Make sure to check out the whole interview at 535.news! (3/3)
A deal this size, in an industry that’s already lost thousands of California jobs, could mean less consumer choice, higher prices, & fewer opportunities for Americans workers. (2/3)
The Trump Administration has defanged our federal regulators. That’s why Attorneys General like AG @robbonta.bsky.social have to step in to give this mega-merger the scrutiny it deserves. (1/3)
Simultaneously they are canceling clean and affordable energy projects. Their giveaways to big oil are expensive and catastrophic for our beaches. I’ll keep fighting this Administration’s stupid moves every day.
Watch me holding them accountable above ☝️(2/2)
