It’s the big dance, baby! The round that will decide what is the absolute worst thing about Los Angeles.

Is it the high cost of owning a home, which arguably has put the so called “American Dream” out of reach of the vast majority of Los Angeles residents and created an even steeper class divide?

Or the Los Angeles Unified School District, the notorious bureaucracy that has wasted millions on broken payroll systems, unusable schools, irrelevant architecture, and unnecessary internal staffing while classrooms remain overcrowded, unsafe, and plagued with inexcusable dropout rates. (by the way, LAUSD very narrowly beat out Gang Violence in the last round [2] by 2 votes, 51% to 49%.)

So, Los Angeles, what is the absolutely worst thing about this city:

hit counter [3]…poll closes next Tuesday evening…
