Meanwhile, Santa Ana — where candidates are nominated from six wards, though voted on citywide — is the largest city in the United States with an all-Latino city council. It's been like this since 2008. What has happened in a decade of raza representation? Instead of addressing the severe housing and job shortages that affect the city's overwhelmingly Latino, overwhelmingly working-class residents, city officials have focused on attracting hipster outsiders to live and shop there by pouring millions into downtown. White politicians used to gentrify Latinos out of town; now Latinos do it to themselves.
