Los Angeles wants a ‘no-car’ Olympics in 2028. Is it possible?

Karen Bass, the mayor, pledged to make the Games car-free, but the sprawling city’s public transit falls far behind that of previous host cities

I was a bit pessimistic about this being possible, but to see that we did this in the 1984 Olympics without any light rail is pretty amazing to hear.

Spend money on helping homeless and reduce homeless population. Fuck no!

Spend money on Olympics? Let it rain baby!
Los Angeles has been putting a number of roads on diet recently. Hollywood for example has shrunk from 4 lanes to 3, and parking moved to put bike lanes on either side of the road.

The Nextdoor comments are wild.

But if this continues then scooters/bikes will be viable. The bus system has also undergone improvements to modernize its schedules.
- Lol, 3 lanes is a normal highway over here.
