LOS ANGELES—In his final State of the City address at the Sixth Street Bridge, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti highlighted some of the programs and investments for the upcoming fiscal year—with a special focus on public safety, climate change, and housing shortage, plus a $1 billion investment into addressing homelessness.
“My goal is to hand over a city budget next week that is stronger than ever, an infrastructure program unequaled in America, and a pathway to house our people and save our planet with the urgency that this moment demands,” said Garcetti, who terms out at the end of this year with a pending confirmation for his nomination as the U.S. ambassador to India by President Joe Biden.
