In Los Angeles, neighborhood councils give residents a voice. President of the Venice neighborhood council Mike Newhouse mediates these meetings, doing his best to keep personal opinions to himself. Laws passed by city council often have little to do with the neighborhood they represent and many opinions differ over issues of privacy, parking, and homelessness. Whether or not, Newhouse agrees with the final proposals, he is satisfied by the overall process, and continues to remain active in the council.
