Los Angeles residents: Kamala Harris' trips home create traffic chaos

To the editor: How nice that Vice President Kamala Harris has a no-travel policy on Sundays she is in Los Angeles and enjoys family dinners at her home in Brentwood. (“Inside Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff’s Los Angeles,” January 7)

Never mind the Monday morning gridlock that everyone else in the area experiences when their caravan of vehicles closes Sunset Boulevard between their street and the 405 Freeway.

Additionally, when the vice president is in town, school traffic on a busy highway in a densely populated canyon north of Sunset is diverted, along with all other drivers, onto small side streets, creating even more traffic jams.

Harris and her husband, Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, may love Los Angeles, but I can't say the feeling is mutual with those of us who are regularly caught in this traffic nightmare.

To the editor: Who thought it was a good idea to write an article celebrating the vice president's privileged life in West Los Angeles? Or has his entire PR team simply abandoned the idea of ​​making Harris more likable?

And I voted for her three years ago. Wow.

To the editor: Harris is a good person and I'm sure she means no harm, but I wonder if she and the second gentleman are aware of the extent to which their convoys of high-security vehicles disrupt traffic throughout the Westside.
