Altadena Community Center Reopens as Full Service Hub After Eaton Fire Recovery By EDDIE RIVERA Supervisor Kathryn Barger addresses the crowd gathered at the Altadena Community Center’s re-opening.

The numbers in the California Association of Realtors’ latest weekly market report don’t tell a story of recovery. They tell a story of an economy absorbing the sustained shock of federal policy upheaval, a U.S.-Iran war that has pushed oil toward $110 a barrel, and a Federal Reserve with no room to offer relief. In Southern California, said the report, home prices were already among the highest in the nation before any of these forces arrived. Consumer sentiment hit a historic low in May.

On the first day of Pride Month, city officials, community leaders, and residents gathered on the steps of Pasadena City Hall on Monday to raise the rainbow flag for the sixth consecutive year, a ceremony that, in the current political climate, carried weight beyond the ceremonial. Mayor Victor Gordo opened the proceedings with a declaration that has become something of a civic touchstone in this city of roughly 140,000 people northeast of Los Angeles.
