#102 Los Angeles: Who’s Accountable?  Paul Scrivano Returns

Paul Scrivano returns to GrabLives for Episode 102 to take a hard look at the state of Los Angeles and ask a simple question: Who’s accountable?

From homelessness and public safety to city spending, political leadership, and the growing disconnect between policy and what’s actually happening on the streets, we unpack the systems shaping Los Angeles and the consequences felt by the people who live and work here every day.

Paul brings his perspective back to the conversation as we examine where the money goes, who is responsible for results, and why massive problems can continue year after year despite billions of dollars being spent trying to solve them.

This isn’t about left versus right. It’s about accountability.

When a city has enormous resources, powerful institutions, and elected officials tasked with serving the public, people should be able to ask difficult questions about outcomes without the conversation immediately becoming political theater.

Where is the money going? Who is measuring whether these programs actually work? Who takes responsibility when they don’t? And what would real reform in Los Angeles actually look like?
