More proof the Trump administration is often thinking about how to hurt Californians and Angelonos.They already created the Iran war and increased flight costs. International tourism is down. Now they want Angelinos to take connecting flights and pay even more to travel.
Intercontinental flight prices have jumped through the roof since the intentional war against Iran. Plane fuel prices have even doubled at times. Why go to such an expensive event in this economy while also risking safety and deportation?
Whittier has a large Latino population and suffered under immigrant raids. Whittier's previous biased conservative city council failed to do the bare minimum and speak up against raids. They were against the community and seemed ok with people being dragged away. The mayor had been in office a very long time and never came close to losing. Very surprisingly Whittier elected a new council this year! This is an inspiring news article.

A few years ago, a developer proposed building a private gondola over LA State Historic Park — a ticketed ride, above free public land, in one of the most park-poor neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Longtime residents were furious.
Clockshop’s response was a kite festival.
Thousands of families came. Kids built kites. Artists performed. The sky above the park filled with color — and the message was impossible to miss: this is our sky. This is our park. It belongs to us.
The gondola proposal didn’t go away on its own. But a community made clear it wouldn’t go quietly either.
