In this American Thinker article, John Perry details how Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass could reverse the city’s decline through basic governance reforms, but history and the Curley Effect strongly suggest she will prioritize identity politics over results.
- Cities like LA fail primarily due to failure to keep citizens safe, with soft-on-crime policies, lax policing, cashless bail, and prioritizing criminals over victims driving away productive residents.
- Effective schools are essential for families; examples like Houston’s successful state takeover and new superintendent show bold action can reverse failure, unlike Detroit and Chicago’s bloated, underperforming systems.
- High cost of living from excessive social spending, environmental extremism, and bureaucracy makes LA uncompetitive; states like Texas and Florida prove lower taxes and fewer restrictions attract people and capital.
- Unchecked corruption erodes legitimacy and resources, as seen in repeated scandals, mirroring long-term Democratic control disasters in Chicago and Detroit.
- The Curley Effect explains why leaders like Bass, Coleman Young, and others cater to core identity-based voters with welfare, reduced policing, and union favoritism, boosting re-election chances while accelerating urban decay.
- Bass could emulate successes like Coronado’s zero-tolerance homelessness approach or Houston’s education reforms, but entrenched politics make meaningful change unlikely without new leadership.
