The hallowed practice of leaving cars on the street with "for sale" signs slapped in the windshield may soon become a banned activity in some neighborhoods, reports the Pasadena Star News. Tomorrow morning, the LA County Board of Supervisors will consider an ordinance introduced by Supervisor Gloria Molina that would effect cars parked on streets primarily in the east and north parts of the county. Neighborhoods affected would include East LA, Altadena, Littlerock, Rowland Heights and Florence-Firestone.

If the ordinance goes through, cars that are left out in designated areas could be removed or impounded.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
