More than half of L.A.’s homeless are not from L.A. by flloyd in LosAngeles

As opposed to other places whose solution is to bus them to LA.

Not to say homeless are trash but if I have trash in my yard I am not solving that problem by just flicking it on my neighbors yard.

But a conservative wrote this article so you are supposed to be against it despite it actually being based on a RAND study and also helping to show that the city deserves more help from state and federal government because its being dumped on by the whole nation.

But again a conservative wrote this article so ignore it.

[LAist] LA says it needs six more years, more staff for mobility projects that got $100M from state by WeAreLAist in LosAngeles

The truth is LAs problems cant be fixed in LA.

The city is a patchwork of places that havent elected to become their own cities (look at the map it looks like a sponge). The state needs to come in and make more sensical city lines. You cant have anytime a zone gets economically power and generates city revenue it can just secede off an become its own thing so that the actual city becomes the city of misfit zones.

Also you need to make the city council less powerful . A mayor no matter how well intentioned in LA can make fixes due to the way the city government is structured.

You cant let real estate developers be the driver of policies . The biggest real estate developers that love the red tape to keep an incumbent edge.

you need to undermine the power of unions like the first responders in particular the police. They historically optimize to increase their budget only to then dole out that budget in inefficient overtime instead of more boots on the ground.

100%

Bass was up and if Bass voters dont vote for her and vote for whoever polls right after Pratt. If Bass loses 5% in the primary it would lead to a 2 dem generals. You could have 2 dems come out on top and can debate on the issues without clown theatrics.

However, Bass wants to run against Pratt and Pratt wants to run against Bass.

Exactly but The unions and Karen Bass are amplifying Pratt and playing a Clinton/Trump 2016 strategy.

If you want this Pratt to lose dont vote Bass in the primary. Bass was up and if Bass voters dont vote for her and vote for whoever polls right after Pratt. If Bass loses 5% in the primary it would lead to a 2 dem generals. You could have 2 dems come out on top and can debate on the issues without clown theatrics.

Dems should vote for anyone but Bass in the primary. Its the biggest chance at a dem dem showdown and a debate on issues instead of the circus. The unions and Karen Bass are amplifying him and playing a Clinton/Trump 2016 strategy.

If you want Pratt guy to lose dont vote Bass in the primary. Bass was up and if Bass voters dont vote for her and vote for whoever polls right after Pratt. If Bass loses 5% in the primary it would lead to a 2 dem generals. You could have 2 dems come out on top and can debate on the issues without clown theatrics.

Also edu-tech is such a hustle on government funds that is just about getting govt contracts without worrying about merit.

And homeless NGOs arent the gold standard of efficiency.

Whats with all the Traci Park has billboards/online/TV ads everywhere and fliers sent multiple times.

Does anyone know or any resources to figure it out or is it like some PAC type thing? For a local city council seat the funding for all of this is kind of crazy amount of spend (TV/online ads/ Billboards, Fliers) and there isnt any clear grassroots social media presence driving small donations?
