Which Way, L.A.?
High-rise, Low-rise and LA's Population Density At the urging of former Mayor Villaraigosa, the outgoing City Council agreed unanimously to put Director of Planning Michael LoGrande in charge of Building and Safety , a department that's three times larger than his.

To the north, in Butte County, the Camp Fire has charred and destroyed even more acreage, of trees, brush and everything else, north of Sacramento, and the town of Paradise is a scene of utter devastation and heartbreak.
