Tragically, our city has earned the shameful crown as being home to the most crowded neighborhoods in the nation – Pico Union, South L.A., East L.A., the East Valley. , Karen Bass, LA Mayor, via CNN.
And Angelenos, we know our mission – we must build housing in every neighborhood, Karen Bass, LA Mayor, via CNN.
Billions of dollars of municipal funds on the state, county and local levels have been allocated to build housing structures that would help to alleviate the crisis.
However, construction and completion of the housing projects have been slow-moving.
According to recent data, homelessness in the city has risen nearly two percent since 2020.

live on the streets in LA.
For Bass, the first order of business will be to complete construction on 15,000 housing units by
the end of her first year in office.
She also plans to end tent encampments, which have become common in LA.
Bass succeeds Mayor Eric Garcetti

The growing confrontation between USA, North Korea and China is not a secret for anybody. Both nations have lately been involved in several showdowns…especially in the Indo-Pacific region…and around South China sea. In order to counter Chinese and North Korean threats, USA is expanding its footprints in these region. And the Chinese and the North Koreans have not taken this lightly…at all ! Several veiled threats have been issued by the Chinese and North Korea in one form or the other. And less than 24 hours back, the US Secretary of State… Antony Blinken…postponed his upcoming trip to Beijing after the US detected a Chinese surveillance balloon lingering at high altitude over sensitive nuclear sites in Montana. Antony Blinken was set to have meetings in Beijing early next week. This would have been the first such visit by a top US diplomat in five years. But the presence of the balloon — which the Pentagon decided not to shoot down — led officials to decide that going now would send the wrong signal. In this video, we explain to you the growing presence of the USA in the Indo-Pacific region...as well as decoding how these steps are aimed at countering China and North Korea.
