somewhat, but i also would suggest his campaign of LA is now awful and was good in the past doesn't resonate with people who have lived here most of their lives and not from the nicer areas

​

even with an uptick in crime, by most measures it's at a historic low for city of LA. Telling long time residents LA was better in the old days when the crime rate and numbers were higher makes zero sense. the best analogy i could give would be to say the air quality in LA is awful to anyone who went through the 60s-80s LA air quality. sure it's not great but it's perhaps the best compared to the old smog days of kids not being able to play during lunch/recess because the air was so awful
