Episode Synopsis

The more things change, the more they stay the same — at least at Los Angeles City Hall, where the City Council voted to create and transfer $50 million into an emergency fund for Mayor Karen Bass to use at her discretion. It was a show of support for her efforts to address the homelessness crisis, but why now and why this way? At the county level, the Board of Supervisors is having a hard time agreeing on the best way to launch CARE court — a new statewide approach to treatment for people struggling with serious mental illness. "Inside the Issues: The Podcast" hosts Alex Cohen and Sara Sadhwani discuss the new normal that is making it tough to get anything done.
