Episode 2: A Little History, SB79, the West San Gabriel Valley Area Plan, SB782 and AB797

We are Beautiful Altadena, the online community group that launched in 2015 and the Substack by the same name, and we started this podcast to ask: Who’s writing the rules of recovery, who benefits, and who’s being left out? This podcast will deep dive into the issues of recovery and rebuilding through the lens of policy.&nbsp; Each episode, we’ll dissect the policies and bills impacting Altadena post Eaton Fire. We’ll break down what they say, what they really mean, who they affect, and what – and who – they leave out.&nbsp; Your hosts:&nbsp; Shawna Dawson Beer / Beautiful Altadena, Eaton Fire Total Loss Survivor&nbsp; Stephen Sachs / AltaPolicyWonk, Eaton Fire Survivor, Current Altadena Resident Every episode closes out with a local small business shout out. We are not advertiser, sponsor or grant funded and have no agenda beyond ensuring our Altadena neighbors are as in the know as possible so that we can all be our own best advocates for ourselves and our town.&nbsp;
