📰 News we're reading

• BHFD Awarded International Re-Accreditation (canyon-news.com) — Beverly Hills residents can take pride that their Fire Department has again earned international accreditation and maintains a top-tier Class 1 ISO rating, one of only a few in Los Angeles County. This recognition reflects rigorous standards in emergency response, training, and equipment, and follows a multi-year self-assessment process focused on improving how BHFD protects local lives and property.
   

• Empty Store? Try Out Vanity (labusinessjournal.com) — If you've wondered why Beverly Hills has fewer ground-floor med spas than nearby West Hollywood, new reporting explains how the city's stricter 2011 zoning overlay and medical-use registration rules shape who can open where. As wellness, beauty, and Pilates concepts surge across Los Angeles, these regulations make it more complex for injectables and medical spa operators to secure Beverly Hills retail space.
   

• Los Angeles group wants to replace city's iconic palm trees (amedpost.com) — Beverly Hills' iconic palm-lined boulevards are part of a growing Los Angeles debate, as advocacy group Streets For All pushes to replace palms with shadier, native trees and backs mayoral hopeful Nithya Raman. The campaign argues palms waste water and offer little shade, while critics online fiercely defend the city's classic skyline and question the group's priorities.
