Skyscraper boom in Los Angeles ends amid slowing demand
AP reports the 15-year Los Angeles skyscraper surge has cooled as space demand wanes after height limits were lifted in 1958.

Jetty factors like congestion and transit access also curb new high rises.

They argue it deprives about 750,000 Spanish speakers of citizenship and seek to restore the long used method of granting citizenship in any language.
