These are planning targets. Read the current details before making travel or attendance plans.
Economy
The Games could bring investment, transit upgrades and global attention. Skeptics point to host cities left with debt, displaced residents and empty venues.
Environment
Limiting rebuilding could save lives and insurance markets. The other side defends the right of families to return home and warns against abandoning whole communities.
Housing
More apartments near jobs and transit could lower rents. Opponents want neighborhoods to keep their character and say density does not guarantee affordability.
Transit
Transit moves more people per dollar and cuts emissions. Critics note that most Angelenos drive and that roads carry the buses too.
Civic life
Smaller cities could be closer to their residents and quicker to act. The other side argues that splitting up would deepen inequality between richer and poorer areas.
