The idea of self-insured often doesn’t pay in the long run.
My brother owns a house there. Every blade of grass in SM has a homeless tent on it It will fall.
Far left until they want businesses to invest. The people there want that kind of a government...freedom of expression...no consequences...now all the freeloaders and far left dummies go down...fine with me..
Santa Monica used to be Red. “B-1 Bob” Dornan, the conservative firebrand, represented it in Congress for three terms.
Santa Monica is a leftist enemy camp. I hope I never see that place again.
Santa Monica, at least in the ‘90s was a straight up socialist government. I was informed of this by executives of the company I worked for that had dealings with the city council.
As an aside, since the ‘90s, Santa Monica worked to shut down their iconic airport by ever increasing restrictions. They have effectively succeeded.

“One former staffer...reported Uller to the program’s director...in 1993 after a boy came to her office and alleged he had made sexually inappropriate comments to him.”

“2018...arrested...died by suicide later that year”

California public schools are so value-subtracted that putting them out of business for any reason is a good thing.
I went back and found it. Irks me when I read something, then skim it again and still miss something which seems obvious after it is pointed out.
It does sound like the city deserves being bankrupted. And good riddance.
