Last night, Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti celebrated his resounding re-election victory inside the Laborers Local 300 building. Outside, more than 100 activists from the Democratic Socialists of America - Los Angeles chapter gathered to demand that Garcetti declare Los Angeles a true sanctuary city.

DSA-LA's Housing and Homelessness Committee and Politics Committee recommend NO on Measure S for the following reasons:

• Measure S will contribute to the overall shortage of housing in Los Angeles, which will lead to increased rental and housing costs, displacement, and homelessness;

• It will endanger the building of permanent supportive housing units planned for homeless people as part of Measure HHH, approved overwhelmingly by voters;

• It will not place restrictions on luxury apartments and hotels, nor does it provide developers meaningful incentives to develop more affordable housing;

• It will place restrictions on height and density of building development that prevent modern environmentally sustainable city planning;

• It will not create meaningful democratic control over local zoning rules;

• It is funded by a corrupt local millionaire who is siphoning money from his AIDS charity to prevent obstruction of his office view.
