One idea is to assemble micro communities out of polymer panels. Another is to revive the iconic L.A. bungalow courtyard. A third is to convert two-car garages into studio apartments across suburbia.

And I support projects like this which will give twenty percent of the new apartments to homeless people...
On Monday, we broke ground on The Grand on Grand Ave. in Downtown LA, which is slated to be complete in 2021. The project was designed by Frank Gehry, best known for his design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall across the street. The Grand will feature shops, a movie theater, a 20-story Equinox hotel, and a 39-story tower with 113 condos and 323 apartments, 20 percent of which will be available to low-income residents. - From Kathryn Barger's newsletter.

It is great that progress is happening on the issue of housing for the homeless, and also new centers are being built for Mental Health, etc, a lot of good progress is happening. The voters sent a lot of money to help the homeless and the mentally ill, and the money is hitting the streets finally.
Salute,
