Ye Allegedly Made Worker Live at Malibu Demolition Site

In a Los Angeles civil trial over injuries from the Malibu mansion demolition, Tony Saxon testified that Kanye West ordered him to live at the construction site around the clock, woke him at 3–4 a.m., and added 24/7 security duties while overseeing gutting of the Tadao Ando–designed home bought for $57.3 million. Saxon showed jurors text messages with Ye detailing updates, budgets, and a low-profile, permitless approach to the project; Ye’s team claims Saxon was an unlicensed contractor. The case, part of a wave of employee lawsuits, is set to continue with Ye and Bianca Censori expected to testify over the next two weeks.

Portland’s Lloyd Center to be Demolished for an 18-Block Redevelopment

Portland’s Lloyd Center will be demolished this winter as developers plan an 18-block redevelopment in the Lloyd District that adds housing (affordable and market-rate), retail storefronts, transit-connected streets, and six acres of publicly accessible open space. A permanent ice rink is not included. Tenants such as Floating World Comics and Star Tropics Pinball Museum will be displaced with at least three months’ notice, and supporters of the Save Lloyd campaign are rallying residents ahead of a Feb. 5 design commission hearing to try to preserve the mall’s legacy.

Trump’s Contested Makeover: Renaming and Demolishing the Kennedy Center

The Bulwark’s Jill Lawrence argues that Trump’s unilateral plan to rename the Kennedy Center, shutter it for two years, and demolish parts of the building to rebuild as a Trump-branded facility would violate the center’s status as a living memorial and harm a civic arts hub. The piece notes decades of cultural and economic importance, artist cancellations, and ongoing legal challenges, and questions about staff, funding, and donor support as the project looms over the DC arts community and local residents.

Lagos Makoko demolitions spark displacement and gentrification fears

Demolitions and torching of shanties in Makoko, Lagos’s largest informal waterfront settlement, have displaced more than 10,000 residents and destroyed thousands of homes. Officials say removals are to curb safety risks from high-voltage lines, but critics accuse the move of land-grabbing to pave the way for upscale development, with protests, tear-gas clashes, and reports of deaths and lost livelihoods.

Council to buy and bulldoze 16 flood-prone homes in Ynysybwl

Rhondda Cynon Taf Council has approved buying 16 flood-damaged homes on Clydach Terrace, Ynysybwl, for about £2.57m and demolishing them to remove flood risk from the Nant Clydach stream, after NRW judged a flood-defence wall not economically viable; two homes (6a and 6b) are excluded due to elevation, and residents say constant flood warnings have caused anxiety, with relocation support potentially offering a safer future as climate change makes flooding more frequent.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has sued President Trump to halt his White House ballroom project, arguing it bypasses required reviews and congressional approval, and seeking to stop further work until proper procedures are followed.
