Nithya Raman touts district homeless drop, ducks blame for LA surge

Just hours after Los Angeles released troubling new figures showing homelessness is once again on the rise citywide, Housing and Homelessness Committee Chair Nithya Raman celebrated a sharp decline in her own district — despite the worsening crisis unfolding under the committee she leads. Raman touted a 49% drop in unsheltered homelessness in Council District 4, arguing the results show her data-driven strategy should serve as the model for the rest of Los Angeles. But Mayor Karen Bass is firing back — saying the reduction is thanks to her efforts alone.
