Henry Mantel for LA
@henrymantelforla.bsky.social
I am a candidate for Los Angeles City Council, District 5. I'm a Tenants' Rights Attorney who was raised in LA and wants to solve the Housing Crisis.
We need to build so much more housing for the artists that work in film and television. LA was built by such artists, not just studio execs and their lawyers, it's absolutely shameful that those who work and want to work in Hollywood can't afford to live here anymore.

Tommy Lee Jones' delivery of the line "Trust? Oh, I'm sorry, I was under the misapprehension that your chosen profession was politics" lives rent-free in my mind.

Absolutely. We need to be building all kinds of housing if we're serious about solving the housing crisis.
