We are Beautiful Altadena, the online community group that launched in 2015 and the Substack by the same name. We started this podcast to ask: Who’s writing the rules of recovery? Who benefits? Who’s being left out? This podcast deep dives into the issues of recovery and rebuilding through the lens of policy. Each episode, we dissect the policies and bills impacting Altadena, Los Angeles County, and the rest of the country post disaster.
