Olympics Near Unhoused Communities | California News
Description
Olympic prep in LA is hitting a major snag: nearly 6,000 unhoused people live within a mile of planned venues—far more than earlier estimates. New research, using census data and adjusted for proximity, warns that without a clear plan, security zones could displace or criminalize homeless residents instead of offering shelter. Even with tighter perimeters, around 2,200 people would still be affected—5% of LA County’s unhoused population. Meanwhile, Long Beach sees a dangerous spike in West Nile virus cases, with 17 infections this year—highest in over a decade—blamed on record heat fueling mosquito outbreaks.
