By ERIC HEINZ

LOS ANGELES — A group of residents upset over the rise in homelessness in the city will formally begin a drive Wednesday to recall Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, an effort a mayoral spokesman called an unfortunate political stunt.

“The homeless situation is in a state of emergency, and everything that we’ve done has not worked,” Alexandra Datig, the leader of the recall effort, told City News Service. “At this point, I think we need an intervention, and we need to recall this mayor.”

Nonsense.  Everything that you have done has worked perfectly at increasing homelessness.  Subsidize something, and you get more of if.

The folks who voted for him are responsible.   "You broke it, you bought it!"
