Karen Bass aimed to share plans at her Inaugural Address on Sunday, Dec. 11 for leading Los Angeles with an emphasis on housing people swiftly and making neighborhoods safer and healthier.
I believe that times of inflection require reflection – I believe, it’s time for Angelenos to remind ourselves where we come from and who we are.He worked for the postal service as a letter carrier. It was a union job, and his paycheck supported my brothers and me and allowed my mother to choose to be a homemaker.
Today, too many Angelenos have no choice but to crowd multiple families into one home, and to work multiple jobs to just barely pay the rent. And it will create the structure necessary for us to have a true, unified and citywide strategy to set us on the path to solve homelessness. I ask the Mayors and Councilmembers of the 87 other cities in our county to lock arms with me, too, because we know that problems don’t stop at our city limits.
Of course, we must stop crimes in progress and hold people accountable. Some neighborhoods have asked for additional officers, and we will deliver…but what neighborhoods are asking for and what they need is as diverse as our city. So let’s partner with the people, ask them what works in their neighborhood, and create our public safety policy from the ground up. And keep our neighborhoods safe.
