In Chicago, a strong wave of local solidarity is growing in response to a stringent federal immigration enforcement operation

Mayor Eric Adams has vetoed a bill that would block rent hikes for low-income tenants who use city housing vouchers, a policy his own administration introduced. Meanwhile, New York City street vendors will rally outside City Hall Wednesday with tacos, churros and samosas to push for legislation creating 10,000 new vending permits over the next five years. Plus, Bagelfest returns to Citi Field on Sunday with tastings, competitions and a new “growth lab” featuring up and coming bakers from across North America.

A Brooklyn developer who donated campaign cash to Mayor Eric Adams' 2021 run is getting control of a city-owned lot in Coney Island for a new housing project. Meanwhile, the federal shutdown is delaying heating assistance for low income New Yorkers until at least mid November. And New York City street vendors are urging the City Council to lift caps on vending licenses, saying current limits leave many at risk of immigration crackdowns.

The All Local Afternoon Update for Tuesday, October 29 2025

New York City street vendors are calling on the city council to pass legislation that would remove limits on the number of licenses issued by the city. Meanwhile, more than 160,000 New Jerseyans have already cast their ballot in the hotly contested race for governor. And finally, mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani wants transit ambassadors to handle mental health calls instead of the NYPD.

This is the All Local 12pm update for 10/22.

How street vendors tangle with the law in São Paulo, Brazil. With a little initiative and very little startup money, an outgoing individual might sell you a number of delights and conveniences familiar to city dwellers—from cold water bottles while you're sitting in traffic to a popsicle from a cart on a summer afternoon in the park. Such vendors form a significant share of the workforce in São Paulo, Brazil, but their ubiquity belies perpetual struggle. Some have the right to practice their trade; others do not. All of them strive to make it—or stay afloat.In The Edge of the Law: Street Vendors and the Erosion of Citizenship in São Paulo, (U Chicago Press, 2025) Jacinto Cuvi introduces us to the world of street vendors and teases out the relationship between the construction of legality and the experience of citizenship. As São Paulo's city government undertakes a large-scale plan to cancel street vending licenses and evict street vendors, Cuvi reveals how the rights of informal workers can be revoked or withheld and how the lines can be redrawn between work that is “legal” and work that takes place under constant fear of law enforcement. Alongside the mechanics of disenfranchisement, Cuvi captures the lived experience of criminalization, dissecting the distribution of (shallow) rights among vendors who continually reinvent strategies to eke out a living while dealing with the constraints and pressures of informal citizenship at the edge of the law. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is a Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He is the author of The Social Construction of a Cultural Spectacle: Floatzilla (Lexington Books, 2023) and Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River (Lexington Books, 2022). His general area of study is at the intersection of space, behavior, and identity. He is currently conducting research about: escape rooms, the use of urban design in downtown historical neighborhoods of rural communities, and a study on belongingness in college and university.

Tipping car guards or paying street vendors in South Africa still relies heavily on cash. But many people no longer carry cash, and some vendors don't have bank accounts to accept electronic payments. Street Wallet offers a practical workaround: traders receive a QR code that links to a web-based payment page. Founder and CEO Kostas Scholiadis told BizNews the company has raised R6.3 million to scale the solution, with plans to expand to Durban and Port Elizabeth. Each trader's profile on the app includes a “Hire Me” option, offering a pathway to more stable work. One of the biggest challenges, he says, is initial distrust—but once traders and guards start using the system, “they're very sticky.”

Jeffery Mays, New York Times reporter covering politics with a focus on New York City Hall, talks about the new worker and vendor protections passed by the City Council, overriding Mayor Adams' vetoes.

You've seen them all over Las Vegas, sidewalk vendors with their carts filled with tacos, fruit or shaved ice. For decades they've operated without licenses or permits, but that's changing.

This is the All Local afternoon update for Thursday, April 18th, 2024.

Las Vegans are sharing an outpouring of support for Enzo, the police dog who was stabbed in a recent encounter downtown. Happily, he is on the road to recovery and heading home. But what really went down in that encounter, and how should we be thinking about the use of K-9 units with mentally unstable people? Today, co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman sit down with comedian-magician Matt Donnelly from the podcast Matt and Mattingly's Ice Cream Social to discuss. Next, they tackle the new street vendor regulations, which advocates say are too strict and onerous for the vendors. And lastly, a new report lists the top states where departing Nevadans move. So of the top three, we play a PG version of FMK: Who would you wine, dine, or ditch? Interested in adopting Smokey, the 29-pound cat we mention at the end of the episode? Email foster@animalfoundation.com with his name and ID # (A1311271) to arrange a time for a meet & greet with his foster family.

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's congressional district has been described as "looking like a third world country" after videos were shared online of sidewalks covered in trash and street vendors, RadarOnline.com has learned.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

California's vibrant food cultures and many days of sunshine means you have probably seen an individual selling food and goods from a sidewalk or street cart.  However, this entrepreneurship led to many debates about whether certain neighborhoods should be off-limits to street (or sidewalk) vendors, how many to allow, and whether brick-and-mortar businesses needed to give permission for these carts to operate nearby.  Thanks to new laws enacted in the past five years, local governments now have some answers on how they can and can't limit these activities.  Lozano Smith attorneys Matthew M. Lear and Jack Jackson II join co-host Josh Whiteside as they cover the new laws and consider practical ways for local municipalities to interact with these vibrant vendors. Show Notes & References 1:13 – What is a street (sidewalk) vendor? 2:47 – Senate Bill (SB) 946 and the Safe Sidewalk Vending Act 4:01 – Restrictions on regulating vendors 4:37 – City of Los Angeles lawsuit (Community Power Collective, et al. v.

I'm joined by my friend Daniel Wargo, who you might know on TikTok and Instagram as Forking Around, to devise the ideal Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce-inspired Super Bowl spreads. We're going category by category, and challenging ourselves to devise two different spreads sourced from Los Angeles area restaurants, that perfectly capture the essence of Taylor and Travis respectively. Forks is going to do the Travis spread, I'm doing the Taylor spread, and you're going to get hungry thinking about these absolutely insane, imaginary Super Bowl parties that none of us would ever be invited to in a million years.   Also discussed on this episode... Service fee trouble at Found Oyster, Jenn Harris demolition of All'Antico Vinaio, and a big win for LA street vendors. Plus a new exciting series on The LA Countdown!

Amid the noisy bustle of Mexico City, there is a particularly iconic sound echoing on repeat in the background. This recording blares from trucks that cruise the streets all across this massive city. The crews inside are looking to buy old household items and appliances to fix and resell or to just sell for scrap. Basically, they're scrap metal haulers, and the recording is their pitch to prospective sellers. Their pitch culminates in "o algo de fierro viejo que vendan," which basically means “or any old metal thing you're selling.” This last bit has become the recording's namesake: fierro viejo, literally “old iron.”How this recording (and its subsequent remixes for live performances and otherwise) managed to achieve icon status in Mexico is a story of an unlikely alchemy: a family that, through grit, talent and a bit of luck, transmuted scrap metal into poetry, music, and joy.The Siren of Scrap Metal
