Here are the top stories today in Los Angeles:

1. The citizen commission charged with redrawing political boundaries in Los Angeles called on city leaders Thursday to expand the number of council districts, saying such a move would "meet the needs of a complex and changing" city. In a report that will be submitted to the council, the 21-member Redistricting Commission said L.A. has gone nearly a century with the same number of council districts — and lags behind other major cities on the ratio of council members to constituents. (KTLA)
2. A week from Monday, restaurants in the city of Los Angeles will be required to check indoor diners for proof of COVID vaccination — a situation in the Bay Area that has caused controversy after an In-n-Out Burgers' location took a stand against the mandate. So what happens with In-n-Out Burgers in LA when the local requirement takes effect? (NBC San Diego)
3. There's already a crowded field of candidates running for mayor of Los Angeles, and there could be one more: real estate developer Rick Caruso. Los Angeles Magazine reports Caruso hired a political consulting firm that in the past has worked with Hillary Clinton, Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Vice President Kamala Harris as clients. (KABC-TV)
4. City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas, who was suspended from office following his indictment on federal corruption charges, recently showed he is sidelined but not silenced by sending his colleagues a letter weighing in on homelessness issues facing the city. In the letter, Ridley-Thomas advocated for his "Right To Housing" agenda, expressed concern about the enforcement of the city's new anti-camping law and opposed the cancellation of recent Homelessness and Poverty Committee meetings. (Spectrum News 1)
5. If you need a ride out of Bikini Bottom, or maybe just need to cruise around Los Angeles, you're in luck: the famous Patty Wagon from Nickelodeon's SpongeBob Squarepants is on the move in Southern California. For a limited time in Los Angeles, riders will have a chance to win a ride in SpongeBob SquarePants' Patty Wagon (NBC Southern California)

On October 21, 2021, the City of Los Angeles's Cultural Heritage Commission (CHC) voted unanimously to recommend it as a Historic-Cultural Monument! Designed in 1971 by influential Chinese American architects Gilbert Leong and Richard Layne Tom, it soon became the fastest growing Bank of America branch in Los Angeles and solidified the increasing strength of the local Chinese American community. The Conservancy nominated the property last year as part of our '70s Turn 50 initiative." (Facebook)
