In his last days in office, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti reflected on his two terms as the leader of the second-largest city in the country.
"At the end of it - it's kind of like a funeral, Bar Mitzvah, rebirth, last day of school — all in one," he said."The work is never finished."
He touted the 15 new rail lines and rapid transit lines created during his two terms, the most in American history, according to Garcetti. He hopes that the improvements the city made at LAX will help the traffic jams at the airport. Garcetti faced the biggest challenge of his political career, the COVID-19 pandemic, during his final term.
During the pandemic, the city's homeless crisis exploded and Garcetti was criticized for letting it get out of control. He pushed back against the critics, claiming that the crisis needed more support from state and federal governments.
