The no-build (until-we-need-to-build-something-fast) games
LA could leverage this ordinance to make it easier to create new public spaces, public bathrooms, and even public housing leading up to 2028
Talking to UCLA's Juan Matute about this year's Lake Arrowhead Symposium and how LA can leverage megaevents to create lasting public benefits
"This was originally supposed to be a 'no-build' Olympics, and that's what the commitment was to the public"
In the simplest terms, what LA28 announced yesterday is that seven events are moving out of the city of LA, and seven events are moving into the city of LA
With fewer cities stepping up to welcome the games, the IOC is keeping a handful of previous hosts on heavy rotation. And it might mean more Olympics are on LA's horizon
Is LA really about to squander a once-in-a-generation chance to leverage its Olympic opportunity into tangible, permanent benefits for the 10 million people being forced to participate in this civic experiment?
