The next City Council meeting will take place on Monday, June 15, 2026.
can someone please tell me when’s the next Drag Fairy Tale hour at the
Library????
Residents are watching very carefully who votes to do everything they can to stand up for West Hollywood residents and West Hollywood neighborhoods. If anybody votes against the Transit-Oriented Development Alternative Plan they will find themselves out of a council seat (or any other seat they’re running for) the next time they’re up for election. Count on it.
Building dense developments with minimal parking today makes no sense when the subway won’t be completed for 25 or 30 years. In fact it is irresponsible. But let’s hope we can see a consensus on the Council that allows for West Hollywood to focus on where our high density development could best be accommodated without destroying our single family home neighborhoods.
