I [know] what it feels like when you\u2019re the victim of the city\u2019s failures \u2014 whether your house burned down or you were attacked or robbed, or you lost your job because restaurants have closed and Hollywood has failed or you\u2019ve stepped on human poop and there\u2019s a crazy, naked drug addict in front of your kids at the park. I\u2019m not going to let this happen anymore,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Spencer Pratt Vowed to Leave Los Angeles If He Loses<\/h2>\n<p>When asked whether he truly is vowing to leave Los Angeles if he loses, Pratt told <em>Us<\/em> in a May cover story, \u201cI\u2019m not doing this to lose, I\u2019m doing this to win and save the city.
