Villaraigosa

L.A. is a complicated place, there isn’t one answer to all of its problems, but Villaraigosa, in my opinion, is ready to face those problems and willing to make changes with his enthusiasm. This is history being made. With such a large Latino population, it’s great to see a person of color represent the diverse city of Los Angeles. Villaraigosa wants to fix the schools. Uncoil gridlock. Ease racial tensions. Develop more affordable housing. Extend the subways. Hire more police. Even build more dog parks. But, the challenge now is that he will need to lift the stature of the office to match his ambition, bucking a historically weak mayoralty that at times frustrated his predecessors.
