How do you fix a city in crisis?Live from the historic Rita House in Los Angeles, Jamie Patricof sits down with Mayor Karen Bass for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the reality of leading L.A. With a $1.8 billion financial hole and over 40,000 people living on the streets, the Mayor is trading "ideology" for action. In this episode of Jamie’s List, Mayor Bass discusses: • The Homelessness Truth: Why she believes the current crisis is "not normal" and her "Inside Safe" plan to get people off the streets. • The "War of Ideology": Breaking through the city bureaucracy and the "culture of No." • The $1.8 Billion Question: Managing a massive deficit while refusing to cut essential city services.  • L.A. 2028: Preparing the city for the World Cup and the Olympics—from the "Graffiti Towers" to the airport people mover. • Saving L.A.: Why, despite the challenges, she remains a "workhorse" for the city she loves. "Do you want to make a point, or do you want to make a difference?"
