Residents in 48 of the building’s 124 units still owe a combined $1.4 million in back rent, according to Ann Sewill, who heads the city’s Housing Department. Blossey also said he didn’t want to “sugarcoat” aerial shooting, because he said the mortality numbers would be high, particularly earlier in the process. The conservancy hosted a community forum Jan. 31, after the petition was published, to discuss several conservation issues, including the deer population. Aerial sharpshooting was listed as the top option because it’s “efficient” for eliminating large numbers of deer over a short amount of time, according to the conservancy.

Shulman’s famous seven-minute exposure captures the house and its sprawling city backdrop. The designed of this luxurious hillside home is arranged around the LA skyline view, loosely forming two wings, one oriented east-west, and the other north-south. The largely open-plan interior, in the absence of mass walls, has been articulated vertically and through volumetric changes to rationalise the layout. The site is a 20,000 square foot estate, showcasing 300-degree views over the LA skyline and the city basin below, and the design was conceived of more as a self-contained oasis rather than a conventional house. This luxurious hillside home was designed by SAOTA in collaboration with WOODS+DANGARAN, located above Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California.

The home is set on a prominence, just one over from the landmark Stahl House, a modernist-style home designed by architect Pierre Koenig, known as a frequent set location in American films. The neighborhood where the Peartree Lane homes are sliding was built in 1978, Huff said. Palos Verdes Peninsula has long been prone to landslides, and the most dramatic one is affecting Portuguese Bend, an area named after a Portuguese whaling operation, now known for its natural beauty and native vegetation. A decades-long landslide has reshaped a 240-acre part of Palos Verdes Peninsula known as Portuguese Bend. Officials said a visible fissure was winding its way between the homes that were affected.

She said she also reached out to Gov. Gavin Newsom about the situation Monday but hadn’t yet heard back. By Monday, multiple homes — including Schwartz’s — had slid down the hillside that borders the street’s southeast side, dipping below what remained of their driveways, some almost completely hidden from the road they previously lined. The cousins resided in a house located next to the shop on Colorado Boulevard, a location that still serves as an auto body garage today. Sex workers were their earliest victims, a high-risk population that didn’t draw much press when they turned up dead.

Each option was evaluated on seven values, including minimizing the impact on ecology and deer’s suffering, team safety and how quickly it could be accomplished. The conservancy previously said it planned to hire sharpshooters from the Connecticut-based nonprofit White Buffalo Inc. The group would use AR-15-style rifles with non-lead bullets, to avoid poisoning natural scavengers.
Topanga Canyon could remain closed into the fall after massive landslide
The nonnative mule deer population on the island can range between 500 and 1,800, according to the conservancy. The deer have destroyed natural habitat — including native vegetation found only on the island — and exacerbated the risk of soil erosion in grazed-over areas. In a conservation battle that pits native vegetation against imported deer, Catalina Island residents say they’ll take venison over ‘stupid plants’ any day. The homes were red-tagged after firefighters and investigators found them visibly leaning Saturday afternoon because of massive movement on the hillside. It’s still unclear what initially caused the ongoing landslide in the community, which is on the southwestern side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Seventeen of the building’s units are occupied by residents who are paying market rate.
Catalina deer in the crosshairs: Will compromise avert a planned slaughter?
About two months after their dash to Las Vegas, the Stahls decided to drive up to this mystery spot and have a look around. They found themselves gawping at the entirety of Los Angeles spread out below in a grid that went on for an eternity or two. In the kismet-filled conversation that followed, Buck agreed to buy the barren one-eighth-acre lot for $13,500, with $100 down and the seller maintaining the mortgage until the Stahls paid it off. On that site, they would construct Case Study House #22, designed by Pierre Koenig, arguably the most famous of all the houses in the famous Case Study program that Arts & Architecture magazine initiated in 1945.

Mule deer were introduced to the island in the 1930s as a game species for hunting, according to the conservancy. Normally, the review process takes 100 days, according to Fish and Wildlife spokesperson Tim Daly. However, Daly said the department hasn’t ruled on the application because it’s been waiting for the conservancy to file additional requested paperwork. Hahn, however, called for the conservancy to reconsider other options it previously studied and rejected.
Over the last two decades, the conservancy that owns nine-tenths of this island has shot, trapped and shipped out thousands of goats, pigs and bison that were literally eating away the island. The group says there was “no meaningful public process” in discussing the proposal and characterized aerial shooting as “inhumane tactics.” Both the coalition and Hahn have said the sharpshooting method is extreme. In comparison, fencing was described as costly and challenging given the island’s topography, while recreational hunting was generally ineffective on its own, the conservancy found.
Biden, the day after returning from a whirlwind trip to Tel Aviv following the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack on Israel, used a rare prime time address to make his pitch for the supplemental funding. The White House maneuvering to win additional funding for Ukraine started months earlier. Former President Trump, the presumptive 2024 presidential GOP nominee, has long criticized U.S. support for Ukraine and has defended Putin. More recently he’s complained that European allies have not done enough for Ukraine. While he stopped short of endorsing the supplemental funding package, his tone has shifted in recent days, acknowledging that Ukraine’s survival is important to the United States. TikTok said will wage a legal challenge against what it called an “unconstitutional” effort by Congress.
He and his family were told by emergency officials they had just 20 minutes to get out of their home Saturday night. David Zee is still hopeful his family’s new home — where they moved just two months ago — can withstand the landslide, as it remains one of the few red-tagged structures still upright. Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said Monday evening that his crews continued to monitor the still-moving ground. Although they had documented damage on all 12 red-tagged units, he said no other nearby homes had yet been affected. Bianchi’s girlfriend at the time of the Los Angeles killings, Eagle Rock resident Sheryl Kellison, is also featured throughout the series. She was 17 when they began dating and said that her 25-year-old boyfriend appeared to be thoughtful and courteous, even though he never revealed much about himself.
Biden during his congratulatory call with Johnson urged him to quickly pass Ukraine aid and began a months-long, largely behind-the-scenes effort to bring the matter to a vote. At the time, the House was in chaos because the Republican majority had been unable to select a speaker to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, who had been removed more than two weeks earlier. McCarthy’s ouster by the GOP’s far right came after he agreed earlier to allow federal spending levels that many far-right House Republicans disagreed with and wanted undone.
“Even the people who didn’t fall in, are they going to have to relocate as well? His home was still considered safe Monday, but Hung worried about how widespread the geological issues could go. As L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn toured the street again Monday, she affirmed her prior assessment that most of the homes would completely fall into the canyon. “We have a glimmer of hope,” Zee, 52, said Monday afternoon as he assessed the street’s damage. Hours later, she, her husband, their daughter and almost half of their small street on Peartree Lane were evacuated and 12 homes were red-tagged, as the land beneath the picturesque neighborhood had started to shift, seemingly inexplicably.
