When residents of Whittier, a majority-Latino suburb of Los Angeles, came out in large numbers last summer to protest a rush of ICE operations, the city’s Republican leaders remained unfazed. Masked federal agents were rounding up people at the Home Depot and hauling workers away from local car washes, a jarring disruption to the usual quiet charm of a city where a lush canopy of ficus trees and Canary Island pines line the streets. To the protesters who saw ICE vans stationed at City Hall and the public library, the city was complicit. They demanded that Whittier officials take action and ban

Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill into law on Thursday that makes Colorado the third state to clear the way for plug-in solar systems, also known as balcony solar. As the name suggests, installing a plug-in solar system requires little more than pushing a set of electrical prongs into a standard outlet, then finding a sunny spot for a few panels. Some consumers lay them in a backyard or against a fence. In Germany, it’s common for renters to hang panels from their balconies to help cut electricity costs. “We, of course, have one of the sunniest states in the nation, and we want to take advantage

In Brief: The median rent in Austin dropped by 4 percent over the last four years, and even more substantially in older apartment buildings. Housing construction spurred partly by local reforms and public investment in housing has helped ease competition among renters. The city also had a big spike in eviction filings last year, pointing to the enduring vulnerability of the poorest tenants. The story going around about Austin these days is one of YIMBY vindication.
