#1 ...If the Usual Suspects there don't get their heads out muy pronto, the big finish will be the '28 Olympics - billions programmed for it, likely massive scars remaining from the fire (and likely little or NO rebuilding), the Unhoused(TM), and nightmarish crime levels mean people will pretty much stay away...and all of that while GOV Hairgel is fighting for a Presidential nomination.

#4 Too many LA voters get their news from TV or the LA Times, if they get any news at all. Recent indications are that the LA Times owner wants an unbiased approach in his newsroom. We'll see.

I won't argue whether LA can be properly governed or not but it is certainly not being properly governed by Mayor Bass. Rick Caruso is waiting in the wings and a movement to recall Bass is underway. We'll see.

#5 Just on general observation, I really suspect there is a maximum size population in which you can attain reasonable city government, after which it does become unmanageable.

#6 The lie with city size is the same lie with corporation size: It'll scale up.
No it won't.
