I live nowhere near LA, but from what little I’ve heard City Council will likely be hostile to her, and the position of mayor is fairly weak, plus she’s starting with pretty bad conditions as far as automotive alternatives go. Best of luck to her of course, but people expecting Mamdani-level change are probably going to be disappointed.
(I’d love to hear confirmation/denial of my interpretation of the situation from any locals)
