Residents in Nithya Raman’s district are sounding the alarm, accusing the progressive candidate who vowed to amplify their voices of leaving them shut out, ignored and unable to get answers from her office. Raman stormed into City Hall in 2020 as a grassroots political insurgent, unseating an incumbent councilmember in what many viewed as a major upset.   An urban planner and co-founder of a homelessness outreach organization, she built her campaign around housing affordability, homelessness and tenant protections.
