Mayoral candidates Karen Bass and Rick Caruso faced off in the first debate ahead of the November election.
Bass and Caruso clashed on several issues the first of which was the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles. Bass said she wanted to"get people off the streets immediately" while Caruso said he would call a state of emergency to use the full power of the mayor's office.
Both candidates also emphasized the residents' concern around rising crime in LA. Bass said her public safety plan was to get more officers onto city streets, especially in the neighborhoods where people are asking for an increased police presence. "I'm going around this whole city; people don't feel safe," he said."They just don't feel safe. They don't feel safe to go for a walk. People are taking off their jewelry before they go to dinner.
"When the Grove was burglarized I called you to find out how you were," she said."And instead you call on me to prove one thing or another."
