📰 News we're reading

• Beverly Hills' Preapproved Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Program (canyon-news.com) — Beverly Hills property owners can now fast-track building detached accessory dwelling units using the city’s new preapproved ADU plans, which are already about 70% permit-ready. The program is designed to cut design costs, speed approvals, and boost local housing options. Residents can choose from several designer-created plans and consult city planners to confirm if their lots qualify.
   

• New York, Los Angeles law enforcement on alert in wake of Bondi Beach fatal shooting (dailydodge.com) — In response to a deadly Hanukkah attack in Australia, Beverly Hills police are adding patrols around religious institutions and high-profile areas, plus boosting camera, drone, and private security coverage. Officials stress there’s no known local threat but want heightened vigilance during Hanukkah. These steps come alongside similar security increases in Los Angeles and New York.
   

• Live Nation And Ticket Master To Face Class Action Lawsuit (canyon-news.com) — A major ticket-pricing class action involving Live Nation and Ticketmaster now moves forward, and it directly involves Live Nation’s headquarters in Beverly Hills. A federal judge in Los Angeles ruled the companies must face claims they overcharged customers for tickets at major venues since 2010, potentially affecting hundreds of millions of purchases nationwide. Both firms deny wrongdoing and dispute whether a single trial is workable.
