According to a GoFundMe campaign launched by friends and collaborators, “every single crevice” of the home had been turned over. Alongside trash and discarded weapons left behind, extensive damage was done to the plumbing, including cut wires, rendering the home unlivable.
Two people were killed and two others injured Friday night after a car traveling the wrong way on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica jumped the curb and struck a group of pedestrians, police said.
Most concerning for the filmmaker is the loss of virtually all of his camera equipment — the tools that form the backbone of his career and sole source of income. The theft included high-end gear such as a RED Dragon camera package, Leica R and Nikon AIS lenses, tripods, lighting meters, hard drives, and a MacBook Pro. Several

Preliminary findings indicate the vehicle was heading westbound in the eastbound lanes when it veered onto the sidewalk and hit the pedestrians. The driver reportedly abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot before officers arrived.
items belonging to colleagues that RuizHealy was storing were also among the stolen equipment.
Compounding the loss, insurance coverage on the equipment had lapsed just weeks earlier, on August 30.
Police described the suspect as a Black male, approximately 6 feet tall, last seen wearing a red hat, black sweater, and black shoes.
Ruiz-Healy, who has since found temporary housing, is still taking on film work, but friends say the loss of equipment presents a serious barrier to his livelihood.

As of Friday, more than $20,000 has been raised through over 250 donations on GoFundMe, putting the campaign within reach of its $22,000 goal. Supporters have continued to share the fundraiser, highlighting Ruiz-Healy’s reputation as a generous collaborator and “an all-around great guy.”

Horvath Terminates Controversial Ocean Avenue Housing Projects, Orders Search for Alternative Sites
The decision follows weeks of criticism from residents and city leaders, including Santa Monica Mayor Lana Negrete, who voiced concerns over the lack of public outreach
Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath on Tuesday directed the termination of two proposed interim housing projects on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, citing a breakdown in community trust and a lack of transparency in the planning process.
Horvath said she has instructed the county’s Department of Mental Health, St. Joseph Center, and the City of Santa Monica to work together to identify new
locations for the urgently needed mental health and housing services the projects were meant to provide.
“When a project moves forward without community awareness, it erodes trust,” Horvath said in a statement. “That trust has been broken, and the community is right to be frustrated.”
The decision follows weeks of criticism from residents and city leaders, including Santa Monica Mayor Lana Negrete, who voiced concerns over the lack of public outreach surrounding the countyled initiative. The proposed facilities at 413 and 825 Ocean Avenue would have offered 49 interim housing beds for people experiencing homelessness and behavioral health challenges.
Horvath, who previously called for a pause on the projects, said the lack of coordination between agencies was “unacceptable” and reaffirmed her goal of consolidating all homelessness and behavioral health housing programs under one coordinated county department to ensure accountability.
“The need for mental health and housing resources remains urgent,” Horvath said. “We must all work together to deliver the solutions we need.”
Curious City 10/31: SANTA MONICA SELL OUT
By CHARLES ANDREWS
It’s good to be back with CURIOUS CITY, 14+ years old, and now in The Mirror. Thank you, publisher TJ, and Editor Dolores, fine folks to work with. And to former Santa Monica Mayor Phil Brock for believing in me and laying the groundwork. The best way to see it every other Friday, along with my weekly NOTEWORTHY music and arts calendar column, is to subscribe, free, no strings, to my substack MUSIC, POLITICS, LIFE, at – https://bit.ly/3UGkK1F
OCT. 14, 2025
That’s the date that will always live in infamy, as the night our City Council turned their backs, for no good reason I have heard, on a well thought out, professionally planned effort by top professionals in the entertainment business, to save the Civic, restore it and bring it back to performance status, at zero cost to the residents or the City of Santa Monica. Kind of a miracle, if you ask me. But I’ve only been in the business for more than 55 years, what do I know compared to the smart, experienced young pros on our City Council?
It would have been a savings of tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, resulting in an internationally revered venue coming back to life, as a well-known hub around which to build more recognition of Santa Monica as a city of the arts. A life which would have lifted so many other businesses here. Concert tourists usually come from more than 50 miles away, and they spend lots on meals, shopping, and even hotels. The group’s study projected an average tourist expenditure of more than $330, in comparison to the average tourist spending about $30. But again, the savvy pros on City Council must know what they are doing to reject such a dream offer, right?
Maybe I’m just not looking at this the right way. You know, through younger eyes. Council member Zwick recently posted on his Instagram page: “When I joined the council three years ago, the city was foundering and the median age on the dais was… much older. Proud to be a part of a youth movement putting forward a bold plan to turn our city around.”
GIVEN THIS INNATE WISDOM
Apparently biological, for which no amount of experience can compensate, it makes sense that their bold plan for an economic and social “Renaissance,” presented and approved Tuesday night by the Council, did not need any input from the community, the residents whose future they were planning and deciding. Especially, I presume, since so many residents are too old to know better. Zwick has been on Council, as he says, for three years. Is there nothing he could have done to solve these problems, until deciding to “make a plan”? On his Facebook page, former Mayor Brock sarcastically thanked Zwick and Torosis for finally finding the good sense in his proposals, of his four years on Council, and now adopting them.
But let’s get back to the Civic. This was not a disagreement over policy
or planning. This was one of those issues where we have to start calling BS. We waste so much time and energy being distracted from the real issues, to endlessly debate the nuances and details of pure BS. Two weeks before the vote, the Council asked staff to look at “the numbers” and assess their validity. Are you kidding me? This city and
its staff are proveably, laughably inept at fiscal management. And you are going to let a staff with no expertise in a very complex business area with a long history, evaluate their work of several months, and pronounce that “the numbers don’t add up?” I almost choked when I heard that.
The party line I heard several times was
that “the numbers didn’t add up” in the proposal by the RPG Group, for restoration. But let’s say the numbers didn’t add up. What have you got to lose from letting them try it? The city is investing and risking nothing. If the RPG Group got partway in and discovered they had misfigured, we get to keep whatever it was they did accomplish. No charge, no risk. All they were asking the council for at that meeting was an extension of time, maybe only three months, to verify their findings. So they don’t get too far and too many millions of their own investment into something they thought would not ultimately pencil out. What in the world are you talking about?
WHEN
SOMETHING DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
Chances are there is a hidden agenda, and you are not being told everything.That is the case here, and it gets a little long, but it does make sense, for certain special interest groups, but not for the current residents or the future and legacy of Santa Monica. Those four above did a great harm to our city and should be turned out. Stay tuned on why this was such a terrible act by these four, and what is really behind it. (Secret clue: $$$)

The Darkness of Disengagement: How Santa Monica Turned Down Its Citizens and Its Civic
SM a.r.t.
Santa Monica Architects for a Responsible Tomorrow
In a move that stunned many civic leaders, the Santa Monica City Council voted this fall to suspend and overhaul the Neighborhood Organization Grant Program, cutting off funds that for years had helped the city’s seven recognized neighborhood groups communicate with residents.
Each organization, from Friends of Sunset Park to the Ocean Park Association, once received up to $7,000 annually to maintain websites, distribute newsletters, host meetings, and represent residents in planning and policy discussions. Now, under new “oversight and compliance” rules, that system has been replaced with stricter restrictions, city-approved messaging standards, and the threat of suspension for groups that venture into “political territory.”
The decision wasn’t about money. It’s hardly a rounding error in Santa Monica’s yearly budget. However, as one former city staffer pointed out, “Defunding the neighborhood groups isn’t about money, it’s about control. When you cut their resources, you decrease their influence.”
If that sounds familiar, it should. It’s a similar strategy that defined Donald Trump’s relationship with the media: discredit, defund, and drown out independent voices until only one narrative remains: the official one, Message control 1.0.
In Washington, it looked like attacking the press as “fake news.” In Santa Monica, it appears to involve cutting off any perceived “political microphones” and diminishing the financial organizational capabilities of the city’s neighborhood associations: a different scale, but kind of the same playbook.
“Neighborhood groups are the front line of local democracy,” said one Ocean Park board member. “We’re volunteers who give our time to keep residents informed. Without even minimal support, we can’t do our job, and that’s exactly what some people in City Hall prefer.”
City officials insist otherwise. Their sales pitch is “Neighborhood engagement remains a priority,” one councilmember said during deliberations. “We’re simply reevaluating how to best support communication citywide.” But residents aren’t buying it. “They say they want engagement,” said a neighborhood leader, “but they just made it harder for us to engage.”
It’s understandable why the Council might want to make it more difficult for neighborhoods to communicate. These groups often challenge development deals,
budget priorities, wasteful spending, and policy changes driven by staff or outside interests. They’re loud, passionate, and democratic; all the things this City Council dislikes.
By removing and further controlling their modest funding, the city effectively weakens one of the few organized checks and balances on its power. As one retired planning commissioner put it, “It’s easier for City Hall to say it’s ‘listening to residents’ when there’s no one left to talk back.”
The irony is rich. Santa Monica’s elected officials regularly proclaim their commitment to transparency, inclusion, and participation. Yet, while they fund PR consultants and social media “engagement campaigns,” they’ve defunded and virtually ignored the most authentic, organic form of civic engagement the city has ever had.
Even more misguided is the City’s decision to reinstate Seascape, the glossy citywide magazine, as an annual publication at an estimated cost of $200,000. In a year when neighborhood groups were stripped of a few thousand dollars each, funds that directly supported local democracy, City Hall somehow found the budget for a high-priced public relations brochure. It’s a telling contrast: polished messaging wins out over genuine resident communication.
The outcome? A city that appears more refined externally but feels less democratic internally. “You can’t call it participatory democracy when you’ve cut the mic,” commented one resident after the vote.
A city once characterized by civic pride now suffers from a tarnished image, and the repercussions are worse. Neighborhood groups have been among the few consistent watchdogs of city bureaucracy, particularly as residents grow more frustrated with rising development, reduced public input, and opaque decision-making processes.
This frustration was evident in the recent protests over the proposed mental health care facility on Ocean Avenue, which residents had no prior knowledge of or input on, until Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath finally stepped in and cancelled the project.
“When a project moves forward without community awareness, it erodes trust. In this case, that trust has been broken, and the community is right to be frustrated,” Horvath said.
Santa Monica used to be a model for community-driven governance, where neighborhood voices mattered. Just as Trump learned that controlling the press influences public perception, Santa Monica’s leaders seem to have realized that regulating neighborhood groups and limiting their input makes managing dissent much easier.
And in the latest — and perhaps most tone-deaf — decision made by the City Council, they have once again
demonstrated that Democracy and civic engagement, it seems, are being ignored and devalued at the ground level. Hundreds of residents either spoke up, wrote, and pleaded personally for the City Council to extend a short deadline for RPG’s Santa Monica Civic Auditorium restoration, a privately funded $300–$400 million project that would have preserved one of the city’s most important landmarks and created a unique economic stimulus that most cut-and-paste corporate concepts can’t duplicate. Instead, they all were brushed off and ignored, including RPG’s representative, like unwanted traffic noise. RPG was thus disincentivized to continue and shown the door.
Apparently, with our city's “essentially broke” cash flow status and potential bankruptcy, it makes total sense to reject a 100% paid-for major private investment by a well-known and successful entertainment company. Yet, they still feel it is necessary to somehow regulate the very neighborhood groups that give residents a strong voice.
The Santa Monica City Council has sacrificed something even more essential: the natural, unfiltered connection and engagement between government and the people. And in a city that once celebrated its neighborhoods as the core of democracy, and a vision of transparency and inclusion, that’s a loss in value that can’t be measured in dollars.

Historic Venice Church Slated for Transformation into Private Social Club and Co-Working Hub
daytime co-working functions and transition into a social venue in the evenings, operating from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. indoors, with outdoor areas like the rooftop deck and patio limited to use during daylight hours only. Alcohol sales would be limited to members and prohibited outside of permitted hours.
Building with History
Built in 1905, the building most recently housed Full Circle Venice, a spiritual and cultural community center known for yoga classes, ceremonies, and public workshops.
A historic church building just blocks from the beach may soon be converted into a private social club and co-working space, under a proposal currently making its way through Los Angeles city planning.
The project at 305 Rose Avenue would repurpose a 5,759-square-foot former church—classified as a Historical Place— into a members-only facility featuring shared workspaces and a lounge area with onsite alcohol service. The developers are seeking a Conditional Use Permit and other coastal-related entitlements to bring the plan to life.
If approved, the space would offer
Before that, it served as a traditional place of worship. The proposed reuse seeks to retain the building’s structure and historical designation while adapting it for modern use.
Conditions Proposed by Neighborhood Council
The Venice Neighborhood Council’s Land Use and Planning Committee reviewed the proposal ahead of its October 21 meeting and voted to recommend city approval—but only with a detailed list of conditions:
■ Sound Control: The applicant must install soundproofing measures, especially for rooftop and outdoor areas facing neighboring homes.
■ No Smoking: Smoking would be banned across the entire property,
including outdoor decks.
■ Trash & Lighting: Waste bins must be enclosed and placed at the rear, and lighting must be sufficient but not intrusive.
■ Graffiti and Maintenance: All
graffiti must be removed within 48 hours of appearance.
Parking Solutions: With no parking on-site, the project must arrange off-site parking and create designated pick-up/ drop-off areas.
Julia Fordyce Selected to Lead Mar Vista Gateway Mural Project
The artist plans to incorporate public input through upcoming community workshops and photo submissions
Councilwoman Traci Park on Monday announced the selection of Los Angelesbased artist Julia Fordyce to lead the highly anticipated Mar Vista Gateway Mural project, a $150,000 public art installation that will span a 140-foot Caltrans wall along Venice Boulevard near the 405 Freeway.
Fordyce’s design was chosen from among four finalists in a collaboration between the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Los Angeles Council Districts 11 and 5. The mural will serve as a prominent gateway between the Mar Vista and Westwood communities and is expected to be completed ahead of the 2028 Summer Olympics.
“This project is about more than beautifying public space,” Park said during the announcement at City Hall. “It’s a celebration of Mar Vista’s history, identity, and the resilience of its people.”
Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky, who represents neighboring District 5, also supported the project and emphasized the importance of community voice in the final design.
The mural was envisioned by the Mar Vista Community Council in 2024 as a means to reflect local culture, unity, and future aspirations.
Fordyce’s winning concept, titled Mar Vista Community Magic Medley, includes imagery of Ocean View Farms, local firefighters combating the Palisades Fire, and other scenes celebrating neighborhood life. The artist plans to incorporate public input through upcoming community workshops and photo submissions, and aims to include depictions of local heroes nominated by residents.
Known for her colorful, large-scale public murals, Fordyce centers her work around themes of empowerment, selfactualization, and accessibility. “Art should be for everyone,” she writes on her website, describing her street art as a vehicle for transformation and community engagement.
A graduate of Metropolitan State University of Denver, Fordyce has produced over 40 murals nationwide and has worked with organizations focused on social change, feminism, food justice, and mental health. Her installations often seek to create “momentary liberation” for passersby and serve as “colorful windows into alternate realities.”
The mural project is part of a broader streetscape enhancement plan, with possible future additions including lighting, sculptures, and bike racks. Installation is tentatively scheduled for late 2026.

The Venice Canals drew early alarms from the Venice Canals Association, which distributed flyers in late July urging leashed pets and avoidance of water or suspicious substances. The group reported five sudden deaths over 10 days, with one dog in intensive care, and began collecting resident data to share with officials. By early August, county tallies reached 26 potential cases and at least five confirmed deaths, prompting a water contact advisory for humans and pets alike.

The Department of Public Health, leading a multi-agency effort, released its findings this week after reports first surfaced on July 28 of pets falling suddenly ill after visits to the canals.

Veterinary Public Health conducted site visits, interviewed owners and reviewed medical records to map exposures and timelines. Alerts were issued to county veterinarians to report similar cases. However, delayed notifications meant biological samples were available from only three dogs, and tests detected no toxins — a result officials said doesn’t rule out exposure, as some degrade quickly and proper post-mortem samples were lacking. No evidence of pesticide misuse emerged, and other environmental risks were explored without conclusive ties. In response, the State Water Resources Control Board and county health officials advised the city to maintain warning signs along the canals and conduct biweekly water testing until two rounds show toxin levels below advisory thresholds, per California guidelines.
