Los Angeles tops the list, followed by San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, and others including Washington, D.C., Seattle, Dallas, Austin, Phoenix, Boston, Portland, and Philadelphia, with residents facing home damage and health risks from rodent-borne diseases like salmonellosis, hantavirus, and leptospirosis.

Lynnwood ends Flock ALPR contract amid privacy concerns

Lynnwood’s City Council voted 7-0 to cancel its two-year, $171,000 contract with Flock Safety for 25 automated license-plate readers after public privacy concerns and a UW report showing out-of-state agencies accessed the city’s network, including immigration-enforcement lookups; Lynnwood becomes one of the first WA cities to end Flock ALPR use, while others pause or reconsider the program as lawmakers weigh new regulation. The financial impact of the cancellation is not yet clear.

Glasgow's Vogue cinema survives demolition risk, but future remains unclear

A 1930s art-deco cinema in Possilpark, Glasgow (The Vogue, originally The Mecca) was saved from demolition by a Category C listing after a community campaign, but it remains derelict with no restoration plans and its roof removed. While supporters urge stabilisation or façade preservation for a future use (potentially as a mixed-use or community hub), the building’s fate hinges on securing investment and formal approvals, leaving the site in limbo.
