On Nov. 8, the L.A. City Council District 5 seat is sought by businessman Sam Yebri and policy director Katy Young Yaroslavsky.
Katy Young Yaroslavsky will face off against Sam Yebri in the November 9 vote to represent residents in the Los Angeles Council District 5, left open byCouncil District 5, a Westside district of well-off and working-class communities that meanders from Bel Air to Palms, Pico-Robertson, Greater Wilshire and Mid-City West, is up for grabs.
Yebri, a nonprofit director and business owner, served on the city’s Gun Violence Prevention Task Force under Mike Feuer nine years ago, has participated in an 11-week LAPD’s Community Citizen Academy, was a civil service commissioner under Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and chaired his neighborhood public safety committee in Westwood. Yebri says he has fought hate crime and bigotry as a board member of the Anti-Defamation League.
She supports the city’s 41.18 ordinance as a backstop strategy, if paired with street-level outreach connecting individuals to housing and services. The ordinance, Section 41.18 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, makes it illegal to set up encampments on public property including streets, sidewalks and other “public ways.”
He says that as civil service commissioner under Villaraigosa, “I had the experience of meeting the 10,000 mark.” “Homelessness is not a resource issue, it’s a management issue,” Yerbi said. “It’s not progressive or compassionate to allow five Angelenos to die on the streets every single night, increasingly from overdoses, while we build brand-new construction housing very sensibly and very slowly. That’s a recipe for more Angelenos dying every day.”
