I found this plant, which matches the description of wild lettuce but im not confident that I have correctly identified it. The plant was found at the edge of some scrub and suburbia

Does it bleed latex?  Except for the yellow colored buds, it makes me the more of chicory.  Have the buds opened yet?

Oh OK. It may be a wild lettuce then. It doesn't look much like the wild lettuce I've seen here.
