Karen Bass was inaugurated as the city's 43rd mayor amid fanfare that included a swearing-in by VP Harris and a performance by Stevie Wonder.
The city's homelessness crisis, both an incubator for street crime and a corollary to skyrocketing housing costs, touches almost every facet of life in L.A., even when it's just a backdrop.
On Sunday, she became the first woman to lead the city and the second Black American, after the 20-year tenure of Tom Bradley in the 1970s, '80s and '90s, to do so. Bass is promising a new day and inspiring L.A.'s guardians to forget about the bickering, at least for a moment.
