Story summary

Nithya Raman can succeed as mayor of Los Angeles but faces significant challenges with her current policies. Critics argue that doubling down on former Mayor Bass’s approach of renting rooms and building shelters for homeless individuals, while allowing street camping to continue, is ineffective. The editorial board suggests emulating San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, who has successfully reduced the number of tents on streets by focusing on "recovery-focused residential facilities." Additionally, Raman needs to address infrastructure issues like repaving streets without being constrained by Measure HLA, which mandates extensive upgrades every time the city fixes pavement. Critics also advocate for repealing Measure ULA, a tax measure deemed detrimental to property owners. Lastly, Raman is urged to offer reasonable settlements to homeowners affected by the Palisades Fire rather than engaging in protracted legal battles.
