The Los Angeles City Council on Friday passed a new law that will require mandatory retrofitting for more than 15,000 buildings.

Larry Gross, executive director of the Coalition for Economic Survival, joined the show to discuss the basics of the new ordinance, and how renters and landlords alike could be impacted.
