'For musician Mekala “Mickey” Session, the single-family home he’s lived in in South Central for most of his life is more than just a house.
'It’s a creative space where the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra—the Leimert Park jazz and civil rights-affiliated movement founded by musician Horace Tapscott in the '60s—has held its rehearsals for years.
'It's a place where music videos, short films, and documentaries have been filmed and songs spanning multiple genres recorded.
'It’s also a place where backyard, “pay the rent” jazz and rap concerts have been hosted with $10 ticket prices....
'After Session’s landlord “abruptly” served him with a 60-day notice “for no other reason than wanting to sell the property,” Session decided his best chance of staying in the house would be to buy it.'

People's Budget 2023 Survey
As Angelenos gear up for city-wide elections, Mayor Karen Bass is preparing to submit a budget proposal for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. Now more than ever, we are committed to a participatory budgeting process that centers the voices of everyday Angelenos to drive spending priorities. We want to hear from you. How would you allocate the City’s general fund? What are your budget priorities? How should we invest in Los Angeles? Did you know that the 2022-2023 budget allocated nearly half of the City's General Fund to LAPD? Is this a good use of tax-payer resources? Make your voice heard by participating in this survey to help create a People’s Budget. The survey includes existing and proposed spending categories. *The survey should take approximately ten minutes to complete.
