I’m not a Bass or Raman supporter. I wanted Caruso but he didn’t run. But I’m sick and tired of this bullshit narrative – “in large part by ballot from Skid Row“ - show me, person who doesn’t even live in Los Angeles (Santa Mónica has its own mayor), where do you think Skid Row is and how big do you think it is?
The dark purple/violet areas include all of the neighborhoods listed here, known strongholds for Raman (and Bass).
You can vote for who you want to on your case you can root from afar, but don’t maliciously spread false information to perpetuate a narrative.
Intellectual honesty should always win out.
L.A. native and resident for the entirety of my 40+ years is here.
No city on earth is “completely fine” – of course Los Angeles faces challenges & problems.
But the transplants from everywhere: Mexico, Korea, Australia, Iran, Cambodia, and yes, even the East Coast are a major reason why this city is so dynamic, accomplished, resilient, and incredible.
Even with our issues, Los Angeles is still the greatest city on the globe, and there are millions of fellow residents here from before AND after 2012 that would agree.
Next time you wanna make a claim like that, spend some time in L.A. first. The Sun is shining, the beach is beautiful, the combination of mountains, Palm trees, canyons, forest, & food are like nowhere on Earth. . .and most of all the creativity, beauty, and industriousness of our people are what make all of us love L.A.
