4/17/2025: Pacific Palisades Press Conference
To mark 100 days since the outbreak of the wildfires, City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto joined Senator Ben Allen, Mayor Karen Bass and other community leaders and stakeholders in the Palisades to discuss their collective efforts to help Angelenos rebuild and move forward. Among them, she's sponsoring SB 522, introduced by Senator Aisha Wahab and co-authored by Senator Allen, which seeks to extend local rent control regulations on residential properties rebuilt after the fires and other natural disasters. This bill will ensure that Angelenos will not lose their housing protections because their homes were destroyed.
