Mayor Eric Garcetti´s Speech: The Mayor's Speech

Improved Essays
The Mayor’s Speech A mayor is in charge to help change and solve problems within their city and country. We as citizens and residences should make our voices be heard so we can also help improve our home. In Mayor Eric Garcetti’s speech, he talks about many events that has happened over the years in California. It’s not just events from the past, but also stating about future events and goals. It also talks about how we, as a community can come together to help, improve, and get involved. Since Mayor Garcetti became mayor, he has improved and helped so much in the cities of California, and without him I believe the cities goals would take longer to happen, and wouldn’t hear our problems nor fix the community. First of all, many of us Angelinos are having a tough time living here in California, and it’s not getting any easier instead it’s getting worse. Rent, bills, and an education keep getting higher and higher. Since Mayor Garcetti has become our mayor, he stated to us that he will bring order back and convince city hall to improve services, and rebuilt/ create middle class jobs. As you can see, he has helped us create at least 70 thousand job opportunities, …show more content…
We are part of making LA safer, but also stronger than it is now. Whenever we are in a violent home or the wrong place at the wrong time, we will get help faster. For example, when calling a 911 dispatcher we have to answer questions before sending anyone, now they send them and later finish the question. However many people are living in poverty which leads many to become homeless. It’s already hard enough for many of us to choose between paying rent and feeding a family. It brings me joy that the mayor is planning to raise the minimum wage. Things are getting expensive and some people barely have enough money to pay rent. Hopefully this will balance us and decreases the homeless

    To some, this change is a good thing. A nicer community, with less crime and better stores certainly is appealing. However, to others, the people being forced to move due to the rising price of living, which will continue to rise the more gentrified LIC becomes, these changes are anything but good. While the loss of Scandals is acceptable, or more than in some people's opinion, the loss of something like 5 Pointz really detracts from LIC. Gentrification might raise the value of a neighborhood property wise, but sometimes, it takes away from the overall charm and defining characteristics of something that was great.…

    In the San José Mercury News article “San José Council Considers Immediate No-cause Eviction Policy,” the author Ramona Giwargis reports about the City’s final decision to approve an ordinance that would limit no-cause evictions to residents who are renters in the city (Giwargis, 2017c). On April 18, 2017, the San José City Council voted 6-5 to narrowly approve a policy that would make it illegal to evict occupants for no-cause. Under the Tenant Protection Ordinance (Ordinance), landlords are prohibited from evicting current tenants unless the reasons fall under at least one of twelve criteria, which includes: failure to pay rent, habitual lease violation, property damage, refusal to sign a new lease, causing nuisance, refusing pre-requested apartment access, unapproved subleasing. In addition to these just cause reasons, there are some no-fault just causes that include: significant rehabilitation of the unit, Ellis Act removal or demolition (120 days notice), move in of the owner, orders to evacuate, and vacating of an unpermitted apartment…

    The rise in the number of permanent supportive housing slots only went up 3.4% in the last year while transitional housing beds rose only 2.4% and we saw a measly 2.2% rise in emergency shelter beds. Why is it that the city isn’t taking the necessary actions to make sure its citizens have a place to sleep at night? It can be argued that by simply handing out food and shelter, we are enabling the homeless. It has been said that people will only continue to beg for money and avoid having to work so long as they don’t have to. If provided a place to sleep, something to eat and proper health care these people will have a much better chance at pulling themselves out of the hole they are currently living in.…

    However, we clearly see increasing signs that the benefits of urban economies are not disbursed evenly among city residents. Income inequalities continue to increase in cities with a large population, but these discrepancies only tell part of the story.” The authors go on to identify how poverty is ongoing regardless of economic increases and that “economic mobility appears blocked for many urban residents.” They state that “low-income individuals are being left out and overlooked with jobs and schools, thereby, limiting their opportunities for success and “leaving them stuck in poverty for years or even for generations.”…

    One of the main reasons why gentrification takes place is for economic growth. Businesses, private corporations, the government, etc., want to profit from the new developments and establishments that they plan to construct. Of course, one of the many ways to collect money from people is through taxes. As wealthier people move into a low-income neighborhood, the median income increases. As a matter of fact, Patrick Gillespie’s article, “How Gentrification May Benefit the Poor,” provides an example of how “Philadelphia’s gentrifying neighborhoods have benefited by seeing an increase in jobs and lower crime,” (Gillespie 9).…
