Bass and Raman Clash Over Homelessness Data Amid Mayoral Race
Mayor Karen Bass and Councilmember Nithya Raman have publicly disagreed over the interpretation of Los Angeles’ latest homeless count, which shows a 7.9% increase in unsheltered homelessness within the city. Raman criticized city leadership, calling the rise a 'moral outrage,' while Bass defended her administration’s record, citing progress in several council districts and the success of the Inside Safe program in housing individuals and clearing encampments. The exchange unfolds ahead of the November 3 mayoral election, with both figures positioning their approaches to homelessness policy. While Bass emphasizes measurable outcomes and targeted interventions, Raman stresses systemic failure and the need for change. Both have faced scrutiny over their records, with broader debates emerging about funding, ideology, and the effectiveness of current strategies.
