SYLVESTER TURNER-KAREN BASS-ERIC ADAMS

Houston, Texas-Los Angeles, CA-New York

Their cities may be spread out across the country, but Turner, Adams, and Bass are grappling with similar problems and challenges: For Turner and Adams, it's "public safety," while Bass is confronting homelessness in Los Angeles, they said.

"In Los Angeles, without a doubt, it's homelessness," Bass said. "But it's the intersection of income inequality and also public safety. And because income inequality is so severe in Los Angeles, the most extreme manifestation of that is 47,000 people [sleeping] on the streets in tents, every night, in the city."
