LOS ANGELES—Sprawling homelessness is the primary issue for residents in Los Angeles’s Council District 11, which encompasses the neighborhoods of Venice, Playa del Rey, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Mar Vista, Westchester, Ladera, and Sawtelle.
Eight candidates are vying to succeed Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin, who announced in January he wouldn’t seek reelection, citing mental health issues.
