Chapter One. The Dry Water The secret rivulet had vanished, the trickle of water that anchored their conspiracy to strike it rich and pay off their debts. Without irrigation, there was no crop. This desolate arroyo in the Anza-Borrego Desert, Luis Mata’s promised oasis, was a gouged scar in the gravel and sand. “The stream’s here—got to be,” Mata insisted, testing the dry creek bed with a bayonet. “The water’s underground, hiding close by. An earthquake shifted the flow. This rift zone fractures all…..

By THE TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD JAN. 19, 2020 3 AM Last fall, state lawmakers passed a narrowly tailored bill that exempted homeless shelters and permanent supportive housing projects in Los Angeles from the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, for five years. The bill was designed to make it faster and easier to build much-needed homeless housing and to block Not-In-My-Backyard lawsuits against such projects. And it worked. Just two months after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the measure into law, a judge threw out…..

Later that week, a protest over what would be the northwest Valley’s only homeless housing…..
By NITA LELYVELDCITY BEAT COLUMNIST OCT. 12, 2019 5 AM The other evening, I visited Eddy, a new co-living complex in Hollywood. Tucked away on a residential block that used to be all bungalows, it has the styling of a hip boutique hotel. People carry branded metal water bottles that say “Live. Dream. Connect.” The gym has a Peloton bike. Butterfly chairs encircle the backyard fire pit. In the co-working space, from a vending machine, you can grab a grain bowl or overnight oats……
Tent encampments across California are testing residents’ tolerance and compassion as street conditions deteriorate. By Thomas Fuller, Tim Arango and Louis Keene OAKLAND, Calif. — Insults like “financial parasites” and “bums” have been directed at them, not to mention rocks and pepper spray.
