Your guide to the L.A. City Council District 5 race: Katy Yaroslavsky faces two challengers
""You can't just keep kicking the can down the road and doing nothing about this," said Mantel, a tenants' rights lawyer who lives in Park La Brea."
""We need people in office who are interested in problem solving, not focused on gotcha politics. Who are not super ideological but are just really there to solve problems. And that's what I'm there for," Yaroslavsky stated."
""Upzoning large parts of the 5th District will help address both high housing costs and the homelessness crisis," said Oyler, an accountant who lives in Westwood."
Katy Yaroslavsky is defending her 5th District seat against challengers Henry Mantel and Morgan Oyler, who accuse her of delaying housing initiatives. The district includes affluent areas like Bel Air and Holmby Hills, as well as middle-class neighborhoods. Mantel criticizes her for inaction on housing density laws, while Oyler advocates for upzoning to combat high housing costs and homelessness. Yaroslavsky argues that the state law SB 79 is flawed and aims to mitigate its negative effects, emphasizing her problem-solving approach in office.
