@MayorOfLA If you go to the MacArthur park one on Monday, suit up in Kevlar and steel toed shoes. Don’t touch or sit on anything. PSA FOR ANYONE NOT FROM LA
@CaliMAGABarbie@Brick_Suit At least we’re finally getting a sense of how many homeless people actually are in LA. Count the increase in total votes from last election.
Keep an eye on the percentage of late mail in votes Nithya Raman gets in the runoff election. I’ll bet any amount of money it’s not at all proportional to what it’s been in the primary.
This is statistically nearly impossible. The Bass and Raman voters nearly overlap completely on a Venn diagram. For one to get so fewer through the first half then get MORE in the second half when the sample size is a half million is beyond realistic plausibility.
Not only did Nithya Raman make up a ton of ground on Spencer Pratt today, she beat Karen Bass, 39-34%. She beat Pratt by over 20 points. That is, uh, not good.
Pretty hard to see how he advances now, so LA will be choosing between two far-left failures. Good stuff.
Austin Reaves is reportedly seeking a max contract worth up to 5 years, $239.25 million from the Lakers, and it’s uncertain whether he would be willing to take a hometown discount, per @BA_Turner

It's hard to overstate how much of an outlier California is for its slow vote-counting relative to literally any other state or almost any other industrialized democracy.
@VigilantFox Tom is wrong. I was a scout team receiver. On scout team you run a route that’s drawn on a piece of paper you get before the play. Executing the playbook is a different animal. And Revis is half assing it in scout period. Full speed Revis shuts down scout team talent every time
Here’s how this will go: smartmatic machines will give Karen Bass her second straight surprise mayoral victory. In 2030, street encampments will still litter the city. The money being pumped into the HIC will continue to ���
What do the next 4 years look like with @KarenBassLA as @MayorOfLA?
"An absolute overhaul & reconstruction of the system to deal with street homeless. It looks like a more cost effective way rather than motels...encampments are gone."
"Our infrastructure is finally being addressed..."
"I want the ability to finish my job...in 3.5 years it's very difficult to address problems that have been around for many more years."
There’s a park by where I live. Homeless people moved in and set up a drug campground. Crime in the neighborhood skyrocketed. Local residents signed a petition to have park restored to normal. 2 weeks later they return. Now the park is locked and gated with 4” thick steel bars.
Only 62% of Angelenos live within a 10-minute walk of a park. In Chicago and New York, it’s nearly 99%.
That’s not just unfair, it’s dangerous. Neighborhoods without shade and green space face hotter streets and dirtier air.
My plan cuts red tape and invests in a greener, cooler Los Angeles for everyone.
