LA Has Many Vacant Apartments, But The Homeless And Overcrowded Cannot Afford Them

PLANNING WATCH - LA has a new Mayor. But if you now expect major changes from her, let me set you straight. The new mayor, Nithya Raman, may have a different personality, age, and separate supporters from the defeated mayor, Karen Bass, but they have much more in common than their differences.
