So I'm going to brag for you.
Right.
Since Mayor Bass has been in office, homicides decrease, violent crimes decrease, gang violence decreasing.

It looks clean.
Some of the potholes are no longer there.
We've got graffiti that's been cleaned and it feels warm and inviting.
The city of Los Angeles that was there in the 50s and 60s is starting to show itself again.
And so I want to give you kudos for that.
But then I want to ask the question of what were the first steps?
How did you get people to unite, to believe in these things, the visions that you have to turn it around?
Because, hey, Mayor Bass, you're the 40, the 43rd mayor, right?
A lot of people have talked about wanting to do these things.
You've actually started to do them.
