Today's riddle: Why did the man leave his watch in the bank? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Waymo Gets Overnight Reprieve In Santa Monica Charging Fight (patch.com) — Santa Monica residents and city officials are watching closely as a state appeals court temporarily allows Waymo to resume 24-hour operations at its Broadway charging facilities, despite earlier nuisance findings. The pause on the injunction lets overnight charging continue while judges weigh whether the city can restrict hours, after neighbors complained about noise, lights, and traffic disrupting their quality of life.
• Five Three-Bedroom Homes Proposed at 2904 Delaware Avenue in Santa Monica (layimby.com) — A five-home, three-bedroom townhouse-style project is proposed for 2904 Delaware Avenue in Santa Monica, replacing an existing single-family house. Because it's near a Tier 2 transit station, the development aims to use state SB 79 incentives to exceed typical local zoning limits on height, density, and floor area, potentially adding more family-sized housing to the neighborhood.
• Santa Monica Rents Up 1.4% in July Despite Year-Over-Year Decline (smdp.com) — If you rent in Santa Monica, July brought a small 1.4% bump in median prices to $2,405, though rents are still 2.7% cheaper than a year ago. Local apartments remain pricier than the wider LA metro, and vacancies have risen to 5.3%, giving renters a bit more leverage even as the market shows signs of stabilizing.
