An Appeals Court Struck Down A Judge’s Order to House the Homeless on Skid Row by October. What Happens Now?
The 9th U.S. Court of Appeals on Thursday overturned a federal judge’s order requiring the city and county of Los Angeles offer shelter to everyone living on Skid Row by October. U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter handed down that order in April. A coalition of downtown business interests and homeless advocates sued the city and county, saying they hadn’t done enough to fix the homelessness crisis. The city and county had appealed. Thursday, the appeals court found the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring most of their claims in the lawsuit. They also found Judge Carter based his preliminary injunction on claims not made by those plaintiffs. Today on AirTalk we speak with

about the 9th Circuit’s ruling and what’s next for the case.

With NFL Football, Events In Full Swing At SoFi Stadium, Local Stakeholders Talk Economic Impact Of Stadium On Inglewood
The sparkling new home of the NFL's Rams and Chargers, SoFi Stadium, officially opened for football in September 2020, but did so without fans in the stands or tailgating in the lots outside -- thanks, COVID. With fans allowed back this season, Inglewood is seeing a renewed influx of traffic, both on foot and by car, on Sundays as people stream in on game days. When the stadium deal was announced, the City of Inglewood highlighted its potential to be a major job creator, to bring in increased traffic to surrounding businesses and to spur economic development around the stadium as apartments, shopping and restaurants are added in as part of the stadium complex's overall development.
Today on AirTalk, James T. Butts, mayor of the City of Inglewood, and Derek Steele, executive director of the Inglewood-based Social Justice Learning Institute join us to talk about the impact they see SoFi Stadium having on the area around it and the city of Inglewood as a whole.
