How We Found What the City of Los Angeles Didn’t: #Landlords Renting Low-Cost #Housing to Tourists

▶️ Spring, 1985, I took this shot at the #NuArt#LA.
I tracked the director down in Paris (with help from a friend at Columbia) and sent him a C-print of the image about 1988. Months later I got an obviously-from-Europe-size brown envelope. The director sent me a #Polaroid of the framed image in his home with a lovely note. Both lost.
Just popping up to share that we now have confirmed dates for the West Coast leg of my Lifehouse tour! It would make me beyond happy to see you on August 1st at Elliott Bay in Seattle (w/Dean Spade!),
August 3rd at Page Against the Machine in Long Beach,
August 6th at Green Apple’s 9th Ave store in San Francisco, or August 8 at Powell's in Portland – and hopefully break bread with you afterward. Feel free to share with anyone you think might be interested! #mutualaid#climate#anarchism#books
Oh, and a very important follow-up request for folks in #Seattle, #Portland, the #BayArea and the #LA basin: if you work with or know of any #mutualaid efforts that would like to present themselves to my audience, set out literature, etc., please let me know as soon as possible. It’s my great hope to use each one of these book talks to share a little bit of shine with local organizers in every city I’ll be visiting. 👊
„Władze Los Angeles w Kaliforni wpadły na nietuzinkowy, ale całkiem sprytny pomysł. Wykorzystają miejskie autobusy do… patrolowania ulic. Skoro pojazdy i tak codziennie przemierzają kilometro po trasach w całym mieście, mogą w końcu pełnić także inną rolę. Sztuczna inteligencja połączona z systemem kamer i lokalizacją satelitarną pozwolą wyłapać nieprawidłowo zaparkowane samochody. Następnie taki inteligentny autobus może wlepić kierowcy mandat." #ai#mandat#autobus#la#losangeles
