The new (LRDs)^2 survey paper, still a preprint on arXiv, extracts 27 Little Red Dots from DESI DR1 at z = 0.2–0.9—orders of magnitude closer than the z > 4 population that first surprised JWST observers. Systematic color and compactness cuts followed by NIR spectroscopy of 18 targets reveal the same V-shaped continua, extreme Balmer decrements (median Hα/Hβ ~16), frequent Balmer absorption, and blackbody-like optical–NIR emission seen at high redshift. This methodological consistency across epochs indicates the same physical engine operates from cosmic dawn to the present, a point mainstream coverage of high-z LRDs has largely ignored. The sample yields only a lower-limit number density of 7.5 × 10^{-10} cMpc^{-3}, underscoring selection incompleteness and the small-number limitation inherent to any DESI-based pilot. Critically, the broad-line luminosity versus 5100 Å continuum relation deviates from local type-1 AGN calibrations, directly limiting black-hole mass estimates and highlighting why high-z LRD virial masses remain uncertain. Ubiquitous [O III] outflows (78 %) and one clear long-term variable source (J1717+3807) further tie these objects to AGN-driven feedback rather than purely star-forming or dust-reddened galaxies. Earlier JWST studies (e.g., Labbe et al. 2023, Nature) and subsequent spectroscopic follow-up (Greene et al. 2024, ApJ) documented the high-z population but lacked the low-z anchor now supplied; without it, evolutionary continuity could not be tested. The cooler, larger envelopes seen in a subset of the low-z objects also hint at possible redshift-dependent envelope growth missed in purely high-z analyses.
