About this listen

What happens when a city's first Asian woman mayor takes office during a time of significant challenges? Mayor Sharon Kwan joins former Mayor April Verlato for a candid, solutions-oriented conversation about Arcadia's future.

The homelessness crisis takes center stage as Mayor Kwan reveals how recent legal changes finally allow the city to address the issue effectively. "Now the law is in our favor," she explains, detailing how Supreme Court decisions have freed municipalities from previous constraints that limited enforcement of anti-camping ordinances. Former Mayor Verlato provides historical context on how the Martin v. Boise case had previously tied the city's hands, necessitating controversial solutions like tiny homes that are no longer required.
