(Los Angeles, California) – Spencer Pratt is blasting Los Angeles leadership as the city heads into peak fire season with concerns over dry reservoirs and public safety planning.
Pratt accused Mayor Karen Bass and City Hall of focusing taxpayer dollars on homelessness programs and bureaucracy while basic emergency readiness is being ignored. His criticism centers on the idea that water supply and fire preparedness should be non-negotiable priorities in a city that repeatedly faces wildfire danger.
The comments come as Los Angeles continues to debate how much money should go toward homelessness, addiction treatment, housing programs, infrastructure, and public safety.
Pratt has increasingly inserted himself into the city’s political conversation, framing his argument around accountability rather than party politics. He says residents are being asked to fund expensive programs while still facing basic failures on safety, crime, fire prevention, and quality of life.
