Don’t put the snow shovels in storage just yet.As the National Weather Service Twin Cities said in a tweet: “Thought winter was over? Think again.”“Put the short sleeve shirts away. Put the patio chairs back in. Grab winter coat from the back of the closet. Get the snow shovel back out. And then cry a little bit,” the tweet said.After a record-breaking heat wave last week, winter is back.

Tenants, some of whom are still dealing with pandemic-related income loss, are facing a 300% rent hike and an inundation of eviction notices. “We got five three-day notices last month alone,” said Alfredo Espinoza, who has lived at Hillside Villa for over 25 years. “As the tenants and families of Hillside Villa, we stayed the night in front of the Mayor’s Mansion, and we start day two out here to show that we are not going to let the city’s inaction put us on the streets.” Residents are imploring the Los Angeles Housing Department to follow through with their plan to appraise and make an offer on the building.
