This is great news. She was the most pro-transit candidate.

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)

No way!

I'm still watching prop 40 climb closer and closer to a Yes. It was an 11 point spread at 60% counted, now its a 9 point spread at 65% counted... There is a slim chance!

Well hopefully more votes come in to say no for prop 42, because prop 42 basically nullifies 40.

It is headed that way, but yeah the odds are slim

Amazing, that's great.
