"Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Takes Victory Lap Over 'First Rebuilt House' in Pacific Palisades After Fires - There's Just One Little Problem "

"

It was a developer project that was in the works before the fires even happened. That's right, this house wasn't even one of the average homes destroyed by fires and her incompetence. What a surprise..."

There's the other problem about who wants to live in a brand new house when everything around you is still charred and burnt and being cleared out and not even in development stages yet ? you're still living in the "bombed out war zone "👎😠.

Rose 🌹 Bowl is old & boring. UCLA better off at SoFi 🏈 🏟️

" Commit your way to the Lord and he will establish your plans." — Proverbs 16:3

Pasadena is a great city one single day of the year: New Year's . Otherwise avoid. 

What's going on:

Rose Bowl Stadium and the city of Pasadena have filed a lawsuit against UCLA (the university's football program) over an alleged plan to relocate its home games from the Rose Bowl to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. 

Key facts:

UCLA has a lease to play its home football games at the Rose Bowl through 2044. 

The Rose Bowl and the city claim UCLA's discussions about moving games to SoFi constitute a breach of that lease agreement. 

The lawsuit says the potential move could cause more than $1 billion in economic and reputational damage to the city of Pasadena and to the stadium. 

UCLA has responded that while it is "evaluating the long‑term arrangement for UCLA football home games," no decision has been made. 

Attendance for UCLA's home games this season has averaged about 35,000 in a stadium that seats roughly 89,000. 

SoFi Stadium, opened in September 2020, is about 12 miles from UCLA's campus; the Rose Bowl is about 26 miles away. 

Why this matters:

The Rose Bowl is an iconic, historic venue (a National Historic Landmark) with deep ties to UCLA and Pasadena. 

A relocation would impact the local economy of Pasadena (businesses, tourism, tax revenue) and disrupt traditions tied to the stadium and UCLA's fanbase.

For UCLA, the move could be driven by attendance challenges, modernization, or strategic changes (especially since the football program recently changed conferences).

For Pasadena and the Rose Bowl, it's about protecting their contractual rights, investments (they mention $150 m+ renovation contributions and $130 m in bonds) and preserving the legacy of the venue.
