It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

Tree cover is good, but the real reason LA is so blazing hot is because the law forces buildings to be too low while also forcing roads to be too wide. The good news is that both of these deficiencies are easily fixable!

Bike/pedestrian networks don't take 30 years to build. Stop accepting those timelines in your community. The best practices have been proven & they already exist. Safety should already be the #1 priority. The ROI is unbeatable. The timeline is a moral document and it shouldn't be generational.

Karen Bass's campaign has issued a statement calling the gold-standard Berkeley IGS Poll "another outlier poll" which "got the June primary wrong"

LA Times Issues Another Outlier Poll,
All the Other Data Shows a Close Race Even an outside group supporting Raman
has the race at a statistical tie LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Times has again published an outlier poll, just as they had done in the primary when they got it wrong and undercounted Karen Bass' support while estimating that progressive candidate Rae Huang would get triple the
support she ultimately did. Online-only surveys consistently struggle to recruit voters that represent a true sample of Los Angeles's electorate, systematically undercounting working-class families, seniors, and non-English speaking communities who regularly turn out on
Election Day.
Here's what every other poll in the general election has shown:
Tulchin Research / Neighborhoods for a Better L.A. PolL (August 2026)
• Results: Bass 41%, Raman 35%, Undecided 24%
Estamos con Nithya / Carpenters Union Poll (September 2026).
• Results: Bass 38%, Raman 37%, Undecided 26%
Hart Research Associates Poll / Raman Campaign Internal (September 2026)
• Results: Raman 44%, Bass 39%, Undecided 17%
David Binder Research / Bass Campaign Internal (August 2026).
• Results: Bass 35%, Raman 33%, Undecided 24%
BSP Research / Latino Community_Foundation Poll (September 2026).
• Results: Bass 51% favorable, 30% unfavorable

"One outlier poll which got the June primary wrong isn't reflective of the energy we see when talking to voters every day and what every other poll indicates - this is going to be
a close race," said campaign spokesperson Alex Stack. "Our campaign is continuing to do our job: contrasting Mayor Bass' record of delivering results on housing, public safety, and neighborhood investment with Nithya Raman's out-of-step views on allowing encampments near schools
and failing to show up for her constituents."

10% Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll conducted online May 19-24 in English and Spanish among 1,913 registered voters in Los Angeles, 1,351 of whom were

provided in part by the Los Angeles Times.

Cities should be paying people to bike. Cities should be buying people e-bikes. Cities should be rewarding people for convincing neighbors to ride bikes. Every trip by bike is a net financial gain socially. And it compounds, the more people who do it.
