Cleaning Up or Clearing Out? L.A.’s Olympic Push Meets an Exodus Reality

from Monks & Merrill

Monks and Merrill Hour 3 (04/16) - A hard look at Los Angeles ahead of the 2028 Summer Olympics—where efforts to clean up encampments near venues raise bigger questions about long-term solutions versus short-term optics. Los Angeles County weighs plans to remove unhoused populations; a deeper issue looms—people are leaving L.A. in large numbers. Dowell Myers warns that if the trend continues alongside low immigration, the region could face a long-term demographic and economic crisis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
