Summary
Santa Monica just approved a $908.8 million budget packed with big plans—prepping for the World Cup and 2028 Olympics, upgrading streets and transit, and tweaking park fees and construction fines. Starting September 14, JSX will fly three daily routes between Santa Monica Airport and Oakland for just $149 one way. Meanwhile, police nabbed a wanted Florida sex offender in Crescent Bay Park after a minor traffic stop. VP JD Vance and his wife briefly shut down downtown for a no-fly zone interview, but traffic woes were short-lived. And this weekend, the Pier 360 Beach Festival kicks off with surf, sports, and music—hinting at bigger things ahead. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
