We close the year with special thanks to outgoing CD 4 Councilmember David Ryu and
his dedicated staff who have done so much for Silver Lake. Former councilmember Ryu
displayed extraordinary courage in leading the campaign to end corruption at city hall;
stopping mansionization in our communities; creating innovative programs for those
without housing; protecting our urban canopy and wildlife; and always putting the needs of
CD 4 residents and stakeholders first. And most of all, he set an example by leading with
civility and grace – a standard we hope will be upheld both nationally and locally.
We welcome Nithya Raman, CD 4’s new councilmember, and look forward to working
together to make Silver Lake all it can be.
