  31-03-2025 23:28 via ocregister.com
  
  A 39-year-old Long Beach man who was part of a group that stole more than $2.6 million during a Beverly Hills smash-and-grab robbery was sentenced to seven years in prison on Monday, March 31.

Upon arriving, the group used crowbars

  EL SEGUNDO — To keep their season alive, the Lakers will need to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
  And then again on Friday night at Target Center in Minneapolis.
  And then one more time on Sunday at Crypto.com Arena.

  LOS ANGELES — This playoff season began with such high hopes for the Kings, with that sparkling home record and home-ice advantage – finally – over their longtime nemesis, the Edmonton Oilers, as well as a Vezina Trophy-quality goaltender in Darcy Kuemper and a roster that at least seemed sneaky good.
  And then they discovered a good luck charm, in the ladies from the Koreatown Senior and Community Center, who were invited to play the National Anthem on their harmonicas before G

  PANHANDLE, Texas (AP) — The truck driver is cutting his lawn on a windy afternoon, in a town so quiet you can take afternoon walks down the middle of Main Street.
  Kevenson Jean is leaving the next day for another long haul and wants things neat at the two-bedroom home he shares with his wife in the Texas Panhandle town fittingly called Panhandle. So after mowing he carefully pulls grass from around the flagpoles in his front yard. One holds the Haitian flag, the other Ameri

• Will California’s low homeownership ever get fixed?

  30-04-2025 17:39 via ocregister.com
  
  How can California improve its lowly homeownership rate? Maybe build fewer apartments.
  That’s a novel conclusion I drew from my trusty spreadsheet’s look at homeownership stats weighed against building permits data dating back to 1988 for the 50 states.
  The math shows that residential construction is more heavily focused on single-family housing in the states with the highest homeownership rates. “Build it and they will buy” might be the operating philosophy.

  Except on questions of funding, Californians hold a realistic view of public education in the state. An April survey of Californians by the Public Policy Institute of California found only 45% believe the K-12 public-education system “is headed in the right direction.” That’s sharply down from 62% in PPIC’s April 2020 survey, taken just as the COVID-19 school lockdowns were beginning.

  WASHINGTON (AP) — A closely watched inflation gauge cooled last month in a sign that prices were steadily easing before most of President Donald Trump’s tariffs were implemented.
  At the same time, consumers accelerated their spending, particularly on cars, likely in an effort to get ahead of the duties.

  In the history of California, there has never been a bigger disconnect between political elites and the citizenry than over the issue of Proposition 13. In June of 1978, every editorial board in California, every labor group, every education organization and, yes, even big business opposed Prop. 13. While its defeat seemed certain to the experts, the voters had other ideas and passed the iconic measure by nearly 65%.
