Lineage warehouse permits filed to begin rebuilding — people have thoughts
The topic:
Permit applications have been filed to repair and rebuild the Lineage cold-storage warehouse in Boyle Heights after the city of Los Angeles ordered the property owner to repair and remove all fire-damaged portions. Today on AirTalk, we cover the latest.
What do the permits cover? Two applications were submitted to the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Filing a permit application begins the city’s review process. City staff will review them to determine what approvals are needed before work on the building can begin.
The process: Under the Los Angeles permitting process, some projects can move through the city’s Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) if they meet zoning and building requirements. Others may require additional review from City Planning before permits can be issued.

After the Palisades Fire — what should happen to Will Rogers and Topanga state parks?

The topic:
The Palisades Fire burned down historic buildings in Will Rogers and Topanga state parks. Now, California State Parks wants to know what you think about how they should rebuild.
Why now? Now that both parks are partially reopened, the agency that oversees them, California State Parks, says it's ready for the next phase of recovery. Agency authorities say they're looking to solve big questions, such as how to honor Will Rogers’ legacy and address park needs today. The feedback is expected to help create guiding priorities.

The backstory: The Palisades Fire burned more than 8,000 acres between both parks. That included sites beloved by Angelenos, such as Will Rogers’ 31-room ranch house and William Randolph Hearst’s Topanga Ranch Motel.
Join the conversation: What are your favorite memories of the parks? What do you want to see when the parks are rebuilt? Should they look like before or is it a chance to do something different? Call us at (866) 893-5722 or email atcomments@laist.com.

How do you handle resentment in relationships?
Have you faced resentment in your relationships?

The topic:
Working through disagreements and reaching compromises is one of the hallmarks of a successful relationship. But what happens when one (or all) members of a relationship feel their needs aren’t being met consistently? Resentment.
Sponsored message
Getting over it: Today on AirTalk, we tackle this issue and look at the ways resentment can be overcome, and what to do when you find yourself resenting your partner.
Short and long-term: Some resentment before communication is normal in a relationship, but when a problem surfaces repeatedly and no amount of talking seems to be helping, chronic resentment seeps in. When that happens, it’s time to reflect.
Join the conversation: Have you dealt with resentment in your relationship, either in the long or short term? What was that like? How did you and your partner overcome it, or were you not able to? Give us a call at (866) 893-5722 or you can email us at atcomments@laist.com.

The topic:
The San Andreas and San Jacinto faults are under the most stress they’ve been in in the past 1,000 years according to a new study. While this won’t prevent SoCal seeing another earthquake in the near future, it does mean that local officials are taking a look at our disaster management plans. So, how can L.A. County ensure that when the next earthquake comes, the county is ready for it?
