Downtown Los Angeles condo prices continue to rise during 2022 stagflation.

FINANCIAL NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — What investments do well in stagflation? In a time of frayed nerves, what are the best investments during economic stagnation and price inflation? The Fed has recently begun actions to reverse its previous policy of hiding recessions behind a punchbowl of printed money. A bit too little, too late: Consumer confidence has already crashed to 2009 levels, and inflation has already soared to 40 year highs. Amid frequent shortages, Target and Walmart have warned of excess inventory. The economy is shrinking — GDP shrank 1.4% in the first three months of 2022. The stock market has been repeatedly beaten up. To survive and thrive during uncomfortable economic periods, we can benefit financially by looking at which actions of investing our valuable time and depreciating money have recently and historically returned the most profit and best material results during times of monetary price inflation and economic stagnation.

For optimistic investors who expect no recession, small cap stocks could pose a compelling option. Cyclical stocks do well in times of market booms, along with: energy, banks, housing and retail.

For those who expect a typical mild recession, consider a focus on defensive stocks, such as: utilities, staples, health care, large caps, non-cyclical tech stocks, insurance and telecoms.

For those expecting a slow-down with a soft landing marked by stagflation, ownership gets extra necessary. Hard assets like farm land, income-producing multi-unit real estate, precious metals, collectibles, cryptocurrencies bitcoin and ethereum can make a lot of sense and dollars.

Planning water management is a community effort.

LA county is building new homes but the infrastructure, and resources that support growth are dwindling. This requires fresh thinking and new approaches if the city and county want to continue our push to continue growing. The majority of the inland and coastal waterways in LA County are alarmingly polluted; our rivers and creeks now serve as concretized flood protection channels rather than vibrant, healthy wetland ecosystems; and our communities are over-reliant on expensive, inefficient water options such as imports, which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and disrupt local wildlife, for water supplies.

Water pollution and the degradation of our inland and coastal waters are the symptoms of Los Angeles’ water problems; however, they are not the cause. Los Angeles has historically suffered from a profound lack of vision and planning when it comes to its water management, with initiatives largely fragmented, energy and resource-intensive, and disconnected from local communities. As a result, with California’s population growth, changes in climate patterns, and oversubscribed aquifer and river systems, cities like Los Angeles are pressed to find new sources of water. This fractured approach to water management is putting the region’s 10 million residents, our water-dependent economy, and the health of our waterways and watersheds at risk.

Not only is urban and stormwater runoff the leading source of contamination of the region’s inland and coastal waters, but the loss of this water also represents a monumental waste of a potentially invaluable resource. Because of LA’s heavy urbanization and lack of open space, stormwater is not able to provide the critical function of recharging local aquifers. This results in an estimated 100 billion gallons of water annually that could be captured, treated, and stored for future use instead of wasted. The good news is that the best way to capture and reuse this water is by expanding green spaces throughout the region. Such nature-based stormwater solutions will also provide a myriad of other benefits to local communities – particularly underserved communities that are most park-poor – including reduced heat island effect, improved air quality, expanded recreational opportunities, reduced flood risk, enhanced wildlife habitat, and carbon sequestration.

Voters throughout Los Angeles County demonstrated their commitment to addressing urban runoff by passing Measure W (the Safe, Clean Water Program or SCWP), which starting in 2020 will provide approximately $280 million per year for multi-benefit stormwater projects. LA Waterkeeper played a lead role in the OurWaterLA coalition, which was responsible for placing the parcel tax on the November ’18 ballot. LA Waterkeeper’s Executive Director, Bruce Reznik, chairs the SCWP’s Scoring Committee, which is responsible for scoring all projects seeking SCWP funding and sits on the Central Santa Monica Bay Watershed Advisory Steering Committee (WASC), which is ultimately responsible for selecting projects that will receive SCWP funding in our jurisdiction.
