— Streamlining the building process: Simplifying regulations and removing bureaucratic hurdles to make it easier and quicker for builders to construct new housing.

— Leveraging city-owned properties: Identifying and utilizing city-owned land for the development of affordable housing projects in partnership with reliable and experienced builders.

— Incentivizing development: Offering incentives to developers to build more affordable housing units in the district. This could include tax breaks, expedited permitting processes or other financial incentives.

— Multi-faceted strategy: Adopting a comprehensive approach that includes not only building new housing but also preserving existing affordable units, supporting rent control measures where appropriate and providing more support services for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness.

— Expand reduced speed zones: Building on the success of lowering speed limits around schools, I plan to extend this initiative to other high-risk areas such as busy intersections, residential neighborhoods and areas with high pedestrian traffic.

— Enhance pedestrian safety measures: Implementing more crosswalks, pedestrian signals and traffic calming measures like speed bumps and road narrowing. This will make streets safer for pedestrians, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic.

— Improve cycling infrastructure: Investing in dedicated bike lanes, secure bike parking, and clear signage to encourage cycling and ensure the safety of bicyclists. This includes creating protected bike lanes where possible to physically separate cyclists from vehicular traffic.

My top public safety priority is to implement a balanced approach that combines effective law enforcement with community-driven strategies. It's essential to ensure that law enforcement is well-equipped and trained, not only in traditional crime prevention but also in areas like crisis intervention, de-escalation and cultural sensitivity, catering to our diverse population.

Simultaneously, I am deeply committed to a community-based approach. This involves engaging with residents, community leaders and organizations to understand and integrate their perspectives into public safety strategies. Key initiatives include addressing the root causes of crime through youth programs, mental health resources and community mediation services. This dual approach aims to foster a strong, cooperative relationship between law enforcement and the community, promoting a safer and more unified environment for everyone in the district.

To restore public trust in the wake of the L.A. city government's corruption scandals, I am committed to enhancing accessibility and communication with residents, ensuring they can easily reach and receive responses from my office. I plan to implement policies that ensure transparency in government operations, particularly in decision-making processes, including clear public disclosure of council activities and decisions.

A key focus will be on supporting and advocating for more infrastructure projects. During my tenure, we will witness significant developments like the construction of the Los Angeles Metro light rail, which marks just the beginning of an upsurge in infrastructure enhancements. My aim is to ensure that these projects not only improve connectivity and transportation within the district but also bring broader benefits to the community. This includes creating jobs, improving public spaces and ensuring sustainable, environmentally friendly development.

I am dedicated to working tirelessly to attract further investments in our infrastructure, ensuring that each project aligns with the needs and aspirations of our residents and contributes positively to the district's overall growth and quality of life.

I am an avid reader, finding immense joy and relaxation in immersing myself in different worlds and perspectives through books. This love for literature not only enriches my personal life but also informs and broadens my understanding of various issues and cultures .

The homeless crisis is not because of a shortage of supplies, but more because of the bureaucratic system in Los Angeles. Secondly, there are enough shelters in L.A., I will propose each suburb of L.A. have at least one shelter, like in Panorama City. Third, the name of “affordable housing” is confusing to lots of people. What exactly does it mean, “affordable housing?" In my District 6 I will only allow building houses and apartments complexes with more floors — like 4 to 5 floors with underground parking — because we have parking issues as well in my District 6. Those developers who offer 1-bedroom will cost $1,200 to rent or 1 studio will rent for $600. There are times when developers build up luxury apartments where a 1-bedroom is $2,500 and people can't afford these prices. That is why they became homeless.

The drug crisis also leads to some drivers driving so fast and killing people on streets. I will propose more stop signs and place the word “STOP” on the ground because some streets in my District 6 don't have street lights or are broken so drivers will better see. New volunteer and public safety officers on these roads where most accidents happen will check speed and collect car license plates to inform LAPD traffic to send a letter to the car owner giving warning or tickets if their car is recorded multiple times driving at high speed.

On almost all intersections, I would recommend installing speed humps to prevent drifting. I will create a centralized map of streets where we need to monitor to know where more accidents happen. Also, reward those drivers who help on roads or inform police or District 6 problems on our District 6 streets and roads which brings the community together with their representatives. Everyone will be involved to prevent and report any high speed in my District 6. Also at LAUSD, require by law, especially in high schools and colleges, a class for driving and give education to teens because most crashes involve teenagers and drivers under drugs and alcohol intoxication. The goal is that any one who drives in District 6 must know their high speed on streets will be captured. Lastly, I propose big and wide streets.

Request the state change crime laws governing thefts of more than $950. Everyone must be responsible for any theft. Second, we need to hire new public safety officers and invite volunteers to monitor any shopping centers so each business located in those shopping centers can donate and have membership fees to keep more public safety officers and volunteers who will monitor those areas and have direct contact by cell phone to police if an arrest needs to be made so there will be a fast response to any type of crime. Third, I propose for safety, residents use a new way of communication by text message to LAPD for non -violent crime.

It’s simple:, if you see something suspicious, just get your phone and take a photo and describe the non-violent crime and send a text. The LAPD will be able to reduce response time when using this option and increase response by the LAPD. Fourth, any areas that need monitoring by security in District 6 can make online complaints or fill out a request form for the landlord or residents. Security officers can be paid through donations from the landlord or through the city budget if it’s a big issue. There will be membership options to pay those security officers to monitor 24/7 or whatever the request is from residents. Fifth, use a drone system.

L.A. city must change their election law ordinance to reduce crazy requirements for candidates and drop the number of registered voters signatures needed to run to from 500 to 50. Anyone who has a good idea and wants to use it has the U.S. constitutional right to run for local office. Anyone who wants to should be a candidate who will take control from L.A. city corrupted people and they will not be able to stop you if you want to be their competition.

That will bring trust of residents because they can freely run and become candidates. Now, regular residents cannot be successful in collecting 500 signatures especially in winter when after 5 p.m. no one will open the door to sign a petition form ... Decrease all elected officials and their crazy high salaries. L.A. City Council members should not get $218,000 annually plus all the benefits and big budgets for them. Residents must approve the salaries of L.A. city elected officials by simple votes.

Business developers need only follow L.A. city departments and law but not have meetings in secret rooms to make deal. That's why corruption occurred. We need to eliminate conflict of interest on the council or in the mayor’s office. All businesses must apply online and follow laws and policies and only if needed. Votes for development projects must take place during open meeting places like in LA City Hall. Meeting privately with an L.A. council member is not an option. I want to propose that the LAPD chief be elected, not appointed by the mayor and the LAPD must be independent from politics. L.A. City Council members must increase.

Also: Centralize the homeless system in my district and have an online application for housing without any mandatory applications from non-governmental organizations for homeless. I would also like mobile mental ambulances to monitor 24/7 and get help to any mentally disabled person, such as medications. Another priority is to open more shelters in the district under Red Cross; get National Guard protection and have medical hospital staff provide homeless people clean detox from drugs, showers and medications in one place. Law school graduate students can volunteer and help homeless people to fix the legal issues if they have any. Open up more parking and overnight limits from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m. to reduce parking problems. Also increase residents’ involvement in the district by making meetings available by Zoom.
