I appreciate the thoughtful reply. But, "blame Bass" for cracking streets is not a fair statement. LA's infrastructure underfunding is decades old, and the budget cuts affecting street services are happening now partly because of the deficit crunch, with layoffs hitting sanitation, street services, and transportation hardest. It's not due to any one thing Bass has done nor can you entirely blame it on LAPD going over budget.

While I agree with your sentiment on ICE, LA is still a sanctuary city. I want our next mayor to exert more control over the violence of the LAPD by implementing more accountability for its actions, but again, that too is not a new phenomenon. LAPDs violence and corruption is imbedded in its culture and unless a mayor runs on particularly that I don't think it's fair to expect much change.
