Buscaino’s Hammer and Nails Solutions Details
AT LENGTH Joe Buscaino was first elected to the Los Angeles City Council District 15 on Jan. 17, 2012 to fill the vacancy left by Janice Hahn, following her successful bid for the U.S. House of Representatives.
He had no previous elected experience unless you count class president at San Pedro High School or raising enough money to be honorary mayor just before running for council office. His previous career, after graduating from California State University of Dominguez Hills with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication, was as a Los Angeles Police Department officer. This explains his police-centric view of city governance and his total reliance on digital communications, which circumvent the local media whenever possible.
On April 20, a US District Court judge put his foot down.
“Here in Los Angeles, how did racism become embedded in the policies and structures of our new city,” he wrote. “What if there was a conscious effort, a deliberate intent, a cowardice of inaction?”
In more than 100 pages, Judge David O. Carter detailed the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles and its disparate impacts on Black residents. He was ruling on a case brought by the LA Alliance for Human Rights, a group formed in recent years for the purpose of suing the city and county of Los Angeles over the homelessness emergency.

Elected officials, homelessness providers and community members came out on May 11, to dedicate the Lillian Mobley Family Housing, “A Bridge Home” (ABH) shelter and the first of its kind in Council District 9.
