Ten Current Political Crises of the City of Los Angeles

The City of Angels is Losing Its Wings

Thinking of moving to L.A.? Don't. Los Angeles is the city on the edge of forever. City government is in crisis, budget shortfalls, legal problems and scandals, crime and other problems are spewing panic button measures, bad press and council-reactive slashing of city services. These extreme measures are going to pitch Los Angeles into worse times to come.

The city of Los Angeles is experiencing a record falloff in government effectiveness and public and community confidence in leadership and the future. Los Angeles is hardly the destination of the masses anymore. A citizen of Los Angeles has become a necessarily de facto denizen. Public problems resulting from the Los Angeles City Council's shortfall in leadership and planning will have long-term consequences.

Every public purpose and City agenda item has fallen victim to a morass of Council defeatism for no apparent reason. The lack of foreseeable results in quality of living, community standards, administrative of institutional system deployment, administrative quality, and crime decreasing is of concern to Los Angeles residents new and departing, young and old. here's why.

1. LAUSD

The Los Angeles School District has been slammed with payroll debacles and missing equipment, a change in key leadership and union problems. Los Angeles Unified is criticized for not nurturing the education generation and for slipshod administration. The Los Angeles City Council's ideas have not been brilliant nor effective. The LAUSD has not had a banner year in recent decades, if ever. But the attraction to the community of Los Angeles for family residents of any area will always be the schools. But the Los Angeles Unified School District and its issues have cast a shadow over its main mission with internal troubles, administrative strife, teacher firings, payroll snafus, and overall gang related and overcrowding crises.
