Good morning. It’s Thursday, and I’m looking at more photos and videos of San Diego’s “thousand-year storm” earlier this week. Onto the five USC, Los Angeles and California stories you need to know for today.

1.

A California bill could make it physically impossible to drive more than 10 mph over posted speed limits by forcing auto manufacturers to install speed limiters in vehicles. State Sen. Scott Weiner, who proposed the bill, said it’s needed to address rising traffic fatalities and noted that speed factors into a third of traffic deaths nationwide. “We have speed limits, and they exist for a reason,” Weiner said. I’m sure this one’s going to go over well. Probably about as well as the football thing.

Authorities are searching for a suspect in a double shooting that occurred just two blocks west of USC yesterday afternoon. Police said they arrived on the scene at Jefferson Boulevard and Budlong Avenue just after 4 p.m. and found a 50-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound and a second victim who didn’t appear to be conscious or breathing. No further details were available.

The city of LA is facing a possible budget shortfall of up to $400 million, a city report found. First on the chopping block? “All non-critical vacant positions,” the report recommended. About 1 in 6 city jobs are already vacant, but such cuts could make that a more permanent reality. Perennial overspending by the LA Police Department and ballooning lawsuit settlements both contributed to the shortfall, but the biggest culprit was tax revenue. Business taxes are down, partially because of the Hollywood strike. Sales taxes are down, partly because of inflation. And transient occupancy taxes are down, likely because of a decline in international tourism.

The Biden administration is quietly pressuring the University of California to strike a proposal that would allow students without legal immigration status to work campus jobs. The proposal directly challenges federal law, but proponents say the policy would afford equal opportunities to students and would more or less stand in for the now-defunct Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. If approved, the proposal could tee up an awkward confrontation between UC and the Biden administration, already under fire for immigration policies in an election year.

There are no street addresses in this town. Ask for directions in affluent Carmel-by-the-Sea, and you’ll get something like this: “Brown shingle house with the stop sign and the fire hydrant by the driveway.” It’s a beloved tradition. In fact, at one point, residents threatened to secede from California if it forced them to adopt addresses. But times are changing. Try getting an Amazon or DoorDash order. Then try explaining your situation to the DMV. “The argument is, ‘Oh, we want to keep our place quaint,’” one 76-year-old resident said. “Explain to me how it’s quaint. It’s B.S.!”
