📰 News we're reading

• As it tries to cool neighborhoods, Long Beach seeks to sharpen its ban on some artificial turf (lbpost.com) — Culver City gets a brief nod as Long Beach looks to model its tougher rules on artificial turf and hotter “heat island” neighborhoods after policies already used in cities like Culver City, Santa Monica, Pasadena, and Los Angeles. Long Beach officials are exploring stricter bans on synthetic turf in public parkways and more tree planting to cool vulnerable communities, which could hint at broader regional standards.
   

• TikTok signs deal to give U.S. operations to Oracle-led investor group (thepublicsradio.org) — TikTok’s U.S. operations are being spun off to a new Oracle-led investor group, while its powerful algorithm remains owned and updated by China-based ByteDance under American oversight. With TikTok offices in Culver City, this restructuring could affect local employees even as the move aims to address long-running national security concerns in Washington.
