Mayor Karen Bass is juggling several crises in Los Angeles, including a budget shortfall and recovery from January wildfires. She has recently been criticized for being out of the country during the wildfires. Her day begins with dismantling a homeless encampment, followed by an update on rebuilding efforts, showcasing her attempts to stabilize the city while also gearing up for political challenges and major upcoming events such as the 2028 Olympics and World Cup. The pressure is mounting as her political future hangs in the balance, with each crisis overlapping.
As challenges mount, Ms. Bass has struggled to gain traction. The fact that she was out of the country during the wildfires in January still haunts her.
She was already an hour and a half into her day one morning last week, which started with the dismantling of a quarter-mile-long homeless encampment.
Now, she was headed to Pacific Palisades, to give a rebuilding update at the spot where the Jan. 7 wildfires leveled a library.
While the Trump administration takes aim at liberal-run cities, global uncertainty rocks the economy and Los Angeles prepares to host the 2028 Olympics and part of next year's World Cup.
