HOLY LANDSLIDE: Plan to create a 2nd neighborhood council in #Koreatown that would have encompassed #LittleBangladesh goes down 98.5% to 1.5%, according to unofficial tally. Read more here: laist.com/2018/06/19/no_…
To explain why there was such huge turnout...You did not have to live in K-Town, or — LA, for that matter —to vote.
You just had to be a 'stakeholder'. That's "anyone who lives, works, owns real property, or participates in a community organization." That's how you had people from Cerritos and San Bernardino voting.
Ahmed Chowdhury was in the 1.5% who voted for a second council. Despite the vote being the definition of lopsided, he thinks the Bangladeshi community should try again.
Abdul, not Ahmed. Sorry to Abdul 🤦🏻♀️
