There may be something to the conspiracy theories that they are trying to burn out LA so it can be taken over by the state for low income housing.

Mayor Boss’s scorched earth policy?

She is the mayor of the City of Los Angeles. South Gate is a separate city. The current mayor of South Gate is Joshua Barron. The South Gate mayor serves for one year. It is a rotating office.
