Fix The City, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles (Cal. Ct. App. - Feb. 27, 2026)

It's Fix The City versus the City of Los Angeles. And . . . the City wins. Both below and on appeal.

So no fixing the city.

It's only a caption, of course. And you can name your organization anything you want. So it's not like, in reality, the Bad Guys necessarily won.

The caption, and result, nonetheless reminded me of this scene from Blazing Saddles. (Kinda NSFW, albeit from a movie.) 

The relevant quote:

"When the land goes through Rock Ridge, it will be worth millions. And I want it. I want it so bad I can taste it. There must be a way.

Of course! There might be a legal precedent. . . . Ah! Haley versus United States: Haley seven - United States nothing. You see, it can be done!"

Here: City of Los Angeles, 3; Fix the City, 0.
