Today's riddle: Why do fish live in salt water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Court of Appeal Confirms Builder's Remedy Must Comply with Certified Local Coastal Programs (jdsupra.com) — A new California Court of Appeal decision has upheld Redondo Beach's denial of a 30-unit coastal condo project, ruling that "builder's remedy" housing proposals must still comply with the city's certified Local Coastal Program. For Redondo Beach residents, this means coastal land-use protections and the Coastal Act continue to limit where housing can be approved, even while the state pushes cities to add more homes.
2. Beachgoers Seeking Heat Relief Warned of High Bacteria Levels (mynewsla.com) — If you're heading into the water near Sapphire Street, avoid swimming within 100 yards up or down the coast due to high bacteria levels. The county has cleared the Redondo Beach Pier and Avenue I storm drain area after new tests met state standards, but beachgoers should still check the hotline or online map before jumping in.
3. Marler Clark Files Four Foodborne Illness Complaints Tied to Botulism, Cyclospora and Salmonella (qualityassurancemag.com) — A Los Angeles County family whose baby was fed ByHeart formula bought partly at the Redondo Beach Target is among four plaintiffs in new foodborne illness lawsuits. The cases involve infant botulism, Cyclospora, and Salmonella outbreaks tied to ingredients in formula, lettuce, and jalapeños, raising broader questions about how contaminated products move through national food supply chains.
4. Rents rise in just 22% of Southern California. See which cities got hikes (dailybreeze.com) — Redondo Beach renters are seeing some relief, with median asking rent for a one-bedroom down 7% to about $2,500 compared with last July. The broader report shows most Southern California cities are flat or cheaper as new construction and softer demand give tenants more leverage, even while a few college towns and inland areas still post modest rent hikes.
