Hello, LAist pals. We are on a mission to answer every one of your awesome questions about Los Angeles.
The effort is called "Dear LAist," and some of you have already asked your questions -- from the delightfully absurd to the profoundly serious -- about the who, what, when, where, why and how of your daily lives and surroundings.
It's time for another round of question gathering, so we're asking you to tell us what's on your mind. We will dig deep and pick a few to answer every week.
Think you don't have a question? THINK AGAIN. Maybe your question is "Why is LAist always asking me questions?" See?! That's a great question. And one we can totally answer. You just have to ask.
Support for LAist comes from
Here are some other examples, generated by our very own writers and reporters, to help get you into the question-asking mood:
- How do I find a therapist and know that they're any good?
- Is it even possible to get married for cheap in Los Angeles?
- Does moving into a gentrifying neighborhood make me a jerk?
- Who will check my apartment for mold, lead, and allergens?
- What exactly does a neighborhood council do, and can I join one?
- Where can I find cool local art that I can actually afford?
- My mom said not to drink the tap water. Is she right?
Now it's your turn. What do you want to know? We'll put your query into the mix and let you know if it gets answered. Enter your burning questions in the form below.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
