50:48On this installment of J.T. the L.A. Storyteller Podcast we speak with Renee Rose, who is the Deputy-in-Charge of the Elder and Dependent Adult Abuse Unit in Los Angeles County. With over thirty years of experience in the courtroom, including as a prosecutor for the Hardcore Gang Unit, she’s now running for Superior Court Judge, Seat 48, which we first lent attention to in our conversation with Ericka Wiley . We thus engage with Rose about changes she’s witnessed in the criminal justice system over the span of her career, including through restorative justice initiatives like the Prosecutors Alliance of California . Rose and yours truly also tussle, even if only slightly, on what progressive policy has looked like with D.A. George Gascón’s office in contrast to former L.A. District Attorney Jackie Lacey’s office. (1:17) Rose is running for Superior Court Judge, Seat 48 (8:04) Rose’s thoughts on deterrence as the driving factor in L.A.’s criminal justice system (14:01) On the claim that the criminal justice system is itself the problem (20:06) Rose’s position on Newsom’s CARE courts as they currently operate (26:01) Rose’s growth as a prosecutor, especially by recognizing the role of trauma in acts of crime (32:33) On the Prosecutors Alliance of California, which aims to uplift community-based responses to crime instead of traditional law enforcement (36:47) On the small, yet significant differences between Jackie Lacey and George Gascón’s offices holding killer cops accountable (43:34) Rose’s final pitch to voters ahead of Election Day and ballot arrival on October 7th, 2024 (in California) Learn more about Rose’s campaign at https://www.reneeroseforjudge.com/ .

On this installment of J.T. the L.A. Storyteller Podcast we’re joined by Phoenix Tso, who chats with us about The Tenant Association , a new podcast on the Chinatown Hillside Villa Tenant Association, which formed in 2018 after residents there received a 300% Rent Increase without any prior notice from their landlord; in addition to the origins of the podcast and Tso’s investigative work, we consider the terms “affordable housing” and “eminent domain.” Tso notes that across the U.S., approximately 800,000 currently affordable units will lose their affordability within the next decade due to expiration dates for rent prices set in their housing covenants. Last but not least, Tso reveals the host of The Tenant Association to quite some cheer and even chuckling; it’s another can’t miss episode and you can also keep up with The Tenant Association here .

42:42The return of J.T. the L.A. Storyteller Podcast features Eric Solis, an L.A. born architect and designer now living and consulting in Mexico City, where the rise of a new, international gentrification has pushed residents like himself to fight back and organize. Solis’s roots in Los Angeles also run deep, however, especially given his time with HNTB Corporation in collaboration with Michael Maltzan Architecture, or the firm behind the already world-famous 6th Street Bridge, which officially reopened in June 2022. Solis and I discuss his upbringing through Greater Los Angeles, as well as his unique position as a first-generation college graduate (USC, 2010) on a team of seasoned, mostly white architects who had little to no lived experience with Mexican-American communities like those of East Los Angeles. We also discuss the strengths and shortcomings of the 6th Street Bridge, as well as what Designing For The Realities has looked like for Solis most recently. Last but not least, we uplift “No Hablamos Ingles,” a fashion show consisting of some of Mexico’s fiercest fashion leaders taking place right in Los Angeles this September 21st, free and open to all of the Pueblito. (0:52) Introductions (6:15) Solis’s time on the 6th Street Bridge fresh out of USC, Class of 2010 (11:15) Looking around the room as the only Latino person at the firm (20:32) Issues posed by the new 6th Street Bridge due in large part to design (26:45) Solis’s thoughts on designing for reality rather than for idealism in L.A. + discovering fashion!
