I've talked to a lot of people in Los Angeles about why they don't use public transit. The #1 answer I get is that people don't feel safe, especially women.

I'm glad Raman is also prioritizing housing, because nothing in our city can get better until housing does. Everything nice we build will be filled with people trying to sleep safely until they have somewhere else to go. If someone wouldn't sleep in a shelter, then why would they suggest someone else sleeps in a shelter?
