The H.A.T. Agenda

Honest Protection · Action on Affordability · Transparency at City Hall. Three commitments, built from conversations in every quadrant of District 1 — and honest about what a council seat can and cannot do.

Three pillars

H · A · T — built from the ground up

Each pillar carries four specific initiatives. Select "Show initiatives" on any pillar to see the full detail.

The H.A.T. Agenda · Pillar H

Honest Protection for Seniors, Families & Neighborhoods

Fighting the fraud epidemic hitting our seniors hardest. California lost $1.4 billion to elder fraud in 2025 alone — up 68% from the year before, and the worst total of any state in the country.

$200M

AARP's BankSafe-trained tellers have helped stop an estimated $200 million in attempted financial exploitation nationally — with trained staff intervening roughly 12× more often than untrained staff.

The H.A.T. Agenda · Pillar A

Action on Affordability

Closing loopholes, cutting hidden costs, restoring assistance. Roughly two-thirds of District 1 households rent, and the average District 1 household earns about $46,400 a year — every dollar of hidden cost matters.

$500K

Proposed affordability pilot: a Utility Gap Fund ($175K), Housing Stability Fund ($125K), tenant & legal navigation services ($85K), outreach and enrollment ($45K), and enforcement/data tracking ($45K) — every dollar itemized and reported quarterly.

The H.A.T. Agenda · Pillar T

Transparency & Accountable City Hall

Open books, plain language, real oversight. Residents shouldn't need a law degree to understand how the city spends their money. Accountability starts with information residents can actually use.

The stakes

Why this matters in District 1 right now

The numbers behind the platform — cited statistics, not talking points.

3.7% / 8.7%

Annual rent increase allowance

For buildings with 5+ units versus 4 or fewer — a loophole that leaves tenants in smaller buildings exposed.

~2/3

District 1 households are renters

Living side by side with longtime homeowner families — stability matters for everyone.

$1.4B

Lost to elder fraud in California, 2025

Up 68% from the year before, and the highest total of any state in the country.

$46.4K

Average District 1 household income

Versus roughly $61,000 countywide — every hidden cost hits harder here.

"This is not homeowners versus renters. District 1 succeeds when our neighborhoods are stable for everyone."

Moving Fans, Protecting Neighbors

A H.A.T. Plan for Event Traffic in Inglewood District 1

William Perez | October 2026

Overview

The Bottom Line

Manage event traffic from SoFi, Intuit Dome, the Forum and YouTube Theater as one system. Move fans to transit, keep cars on major corridors, close neighborhoods to cut-through traffic, and publish the results.

Honest Protection: keep event traffic off residential streets

Action on Affordability: venues pay their share, not residents

Transparency & Accountability: measure and publish every event

Context

What Is Already Coming

$261M Transit Connector Phase 1, funded by State of California and Metro grants
Event-day shuttle lanes north and south, with bus-priority signals
Three parking and transit hubs with 1,000+ stalls, plus a pedestrian bridge over Florence to the K Line
Streetscape work starts November 2026; bus lanes and signals in 2027
The elevated people mover is paused for lack of funding
The gap: rules, enforcement and public reporting. District 1 should own this part.

Sources: Urbanize LA, ENR, LA Conservancy (Sept–Oct 2026)

H — Honest Protection

Local-access-only zones on event days, with staffed checkpoints
Emergency routes to Centinela Hospital and fire stations kept clear
Free parking permits for seniors and caregivers; guest permits by phone
Litter and noise cleanup within 12 hours of each event

A — Action on Affordability

Venues share event costs: enforcement, shuttles, cleanup
Relief fund and access guarantees for Market Street businesses during construction
Inglewood residents first in line for traffic and shuttle jobs
Free or discounted shuttle days for residents

T — Transparency & Accountability

Publish baseline traffic data before bus lanes open in 2027
Scorecard within 72 hours of every event over 15,000 people
Shared calendar for all four venues, start times 90+ minutes apart
Quarterly District 1 traffic town halls; annual independent review
