Status quo not working as Pratt, Bass, Raman land blows

"“I think this is one of the most important races for mayor we've had in decades,” Goldsmith said. He referenced a need to get the city back to its glory days, a sentiment that's been stated many times, whether with respect to specific issues such as housing affordability and homelessness or the overarching theme of strong leadership. “I'm keeping an open mind, but I haven't seen anything with our current administration.”"

"“I don't feel like [mayoral hopeful Nithya] Raman has a leg to stand on. In [Wednesday's] debate, she was weak; she couldn't handle the timing. So, I think it's going to be between [incumbent Karen] Bass and [Spencer] Pratt at this point. I think it's going to come down to November.”"

"“The status quo is not working for our city, for property values, for homeowners or for renters. It's not even a question as to whom I will be voting for,” Schwartz, managing partner of the brokerage's Valley offices said, of her support for Pratt. Speaking of governance, the Ad Hoc Committee on Measure United to House LA heard a presentation from supporters of the two-tier tax on Friday."

Zach Goldsmith, born in England and raised in Los Angeles from age three, links his family’s early admiration of American life to Hollywood imagery and later contrasts it with current news-driven perceptions. He views the mayoral election as highly consequential and calls for returning the city to its “glory days,” citing housing affordability, homelessness, and the need for strong leadership. Goldsmith says he has not seen convincing results from the current administration and predicts the race will likely come down to Karen Bass and Spencer Pratt. Michelle Schwartz supports Pratt and characterizes a recent debate as misleading, arguing the status quo is failing property values and both homeowners and renters. An Ad Hoc Committee on Measure U to House LA also heard a presentation on a two-tier tax.
