1. Amber Alert Deactivated, Missing 4-Year-Old Found, Authorities Say (patch.com) — Los Angeles residents can breathe easier after authorities safely located a 4-year-old child whose disappearance triggered an Amber Alert across Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange counties.

His owner has until Wednesday night to claim him, after which he'll be available for adoption to someone with a pig-suitable home. Neighbors who watched his escape are now rooting for him to find a safe, permanent home.
3. LA City Council rescinds anti-camping zones in Hollywood (nbclosangeles.com) — Los Angeles residents should know the City Council has voted 10–3 to rescind 12 anti-camping zones in Hollywood, marking the first rollback of these restrictions under the city's encampment policy. Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez says the move honors a campaign promise and reflects a shift toward housing and services over enforcement, while several colleagues argue the zones are still needed to protect public spaces. The debate highlights deep divisions over how Los Angeles should manage homelessness and public areas citywide.
4. The U-Haul Trucks Leaving Los Angeles Tell a Complicated Story About Migration (parriva.com) — U-Haul's latest migration data shows Los Angeles as both a departure point and a destination, with trucks heading to places like Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Texas while others arrive from Riverside, the Bay Area, and beyond. The report breaks down where Angelenos move by generation and highlights that many younger residents are simply relocating elsewhere in California rather than leaving the state altogether.
