Republican mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt was coming to 4539 Longridge Avenue, Sherman Oaks this morning. I figured I should at least see him in person after I voted for him last week, choosing him in a deaf buy before I even heard him speak a word.

For anyone interested, 4539 Longridge is currently available to rent for $15,950 a month.

When I arrived, a crowd of wizened looking folks, the best looking people from the Class of ’88, were gathered across the road from a brand new white house for sale or lease.

A tent was set up selling $50 Pratt baseball caps and free yard signs manned by a glass skinned woman with a petite cross.

There was a food truck for donuts and a roaming photographer with a long lens sticking it into many people many times a minute. I was there about 10 minutes. And I’m probably on 800 of his JPEGs.

A caravan of expensive BMWs, Range Rovers, Jaguars and Teslas drove past the crowd. No driver seemed upset at having to slow down for the attendees, who all resembled the passing drivers.

One pale woman, who looked like she spent the last 62 years outdoor at her patio swimming pool, leaned out her window to talk.

“Is HE really here? In person?”

Not yet I advised as her driver pulled up the street to park.

Finally, the man himself showed up, a big red face in black T-shirt, jacket, jeans, and baseball cap as affable and bland as a jar of jelly beans.

Solicitations almost ran him over as he posed for selfies, took business cards, and smiled at strangers like long lost lovers. He reminded me of a character actor in a 1940s RKO picture, like someone Bob Hope and Mickey Rooney knew from the Toluca Lake Golf Club.

There was genuine pleasure at his presence, for the forgotten affluent are weary, angry, despondent and ready for blame and Spencer has promised them he will take a big broom and a bucket of bleach to the city of unhoused vagrants, arsonists, addicts and the unclean who own no pants from Lululemon and never got representation when they were young and pretty.

I left before Spencer spoke, but I did get many photos of him on the sparkling clean driveway in front of the brand new house. I hope he can do for LA what everyone wants in their dreams and perhaps he will if his show is a hit.
