I lived just east of SM for a few years, in the Sawtelle. As such I voted in LA, not SM, so I may be a bit off base.
One thing to remember is that LA is not very 'votey'. When the mayoral elections were going on, I actually did vote. When I looked up the percentages later, my single vote for the mayor was effectively the voice of 60,000 Los Angelenos. The participation rate in LA City is very low.

Something to factor in.
