Here’s a list of resolutions — mostly for other people — that might make 2024 better than the year we just ended. Rob Bonta: Keep up the pressure on NIMBY cities, such as Huntington Beach and La Cañada Flintridge, that try to skirt state housing laws and refuse to make room for more homes at all income levels. California has a crippling housing shortage that is worsening poverty and homelessness because for so long, communities made it too hard and too expensive to build enough housing to keep up with the state’s population growth. For L.A. Mayor Karen Bass: You got a lot of homeless people into temporary housing last year. For all humans: Stop sticking your head in the sand about climate change and start taking real action to dump fossil fuels.
