Progressives celebrate new leadership. Los Angeles, a longtime conservative stronghold, now has one of the most progressive mayors and city councils in the nation. This new leadership inherits a city in transition, a city whose services are at the breaking point, struggling to keep pace with the demands of unrestrained growth. A city still facing the deeply rooted problems that it has become famous for; racial tensions, affordable housing, traffic gridlock and air pollution. But for now the honeymoon is in full swing and for those who want to chart a new path for Los Angeles perhaps a door has opened.
