Idea about how to make LA a better place to live, submitted by this organization in the 2020 challenge.
Make LA the best place to LIVE
One of five LA2050 Goals
Our region’s residents have the economic means and cultural capital to lead active, healthy lives, and everyone benefits from a sustainable environment.
In 2050, Los Angeles will have the nation’s lowest obesity rates and every neighborhood will have access to healthy, affordable food. Every family will be able to afford quality health care and housing. And no families will face environmental health hazards because of where they live or how much money they make.
