The election will be held on November 3, 2026
Remember to vote. The current mayor is a total disaster.
Los Angeles faces the worst housing crisis in the United States. The city manufactured this crisis by designating most of the land as exclusionary R1 zoning: single family homes.
A recent bill makes it easier to build apartments near public transit stations. Mayor Karen Bass was outraged and tried to fight it

She should be ashamed.
Bass is going down big. She has no constituency among regular voters in LA
Underestimating her is a big mistake. It's going to be a tight election.
Everyone should vote.
