Long Beach Constructs Sand Berms to Combat Hurricane Genevieve's Waves

Long Beach, California, is constructing large sand berms along its shoreline to protect against the powerful waves generated by Hurricane Genevieve. The city is using heavy machinery to build these defenses as the hurricane, a Category 4 storm, sends larger-than-normal swells toward the Southern California coast. Despite the protective measures, the waves continue to erode the sand berms, necessitating ongoing efforts to maintain the barriers. The city is also deploying overnight teams to monitor conditions and reinforce vulnerable areas.

California Rent Cap Increases Amid Rising Inflation, Affecting Tenants

California Rent Cap Increases Amid Rising Inflation, Affecting Tenants

In California, the allowable rent increases for many tenants in the Greater Los Angeles area are set to rise starting August 1, 2026. This change is due to the California Tenant Protection Act of 2019, which adjusts rent caps annually based on regional inflation data. The recent consumer price index for the Los Angeles area showed a 3.7% increase, allowing landlords to raise rents by an additional 5%, resulting in a new cap of 8.7% for Los Angeles and Orange counties. This is a slight increase from the previous year's cap of 8.0%. The law applies to renters in mobile homes and apartments over 15 years old, excluding newer properties and single-family homes unless owned by corporations. Local jurisdictions like Los Angeles and other cities have stricter rent control measures, with caps as low as 3%.
