We now have a full field of candidates for Los Angeles mayor. Can any of them solve the homelessness crisis?
In the 1980s, when I moved from California to Philadelphia, I knew immediately that I was going to have fun being a columnist.
“It’s just so sad,” Nicholas Salazar said after skirting a row of tents while walking east on 1st Street. “I believe in the L.A. dream — and I know that we can end homelessness, crime and corruption. But the politicians can’t,” Caruso tweeted after formally declaring his intention to run. But as noted, we’ve heard plenty of promises from career politicians. And Feuer was a councilman and state legislator before getting elected to his current job.
In my chat with Feuer, he argued that he’s the guy for that job. He told me he’s been saying for years that Los Angeles needs a homeless czar, that the crisis on the streets should be treated as if it were a FEMA emergency, and that improved coordination between city and county government is desperately needed, along with more of every type of housing.
