All LA natives know that if it weren't for the 2028 olympic deadline, this would take 15 years to do with 4x the budget. The olympics is putting urgency on public infrastructure which is nice to see
❤hell is enlarging herself to accommodate the wicked. Please give your heart to Jesus Christ repent and be baptized in Jesus mighty name get on the ark before it's too late were going home to be with Jesus Christ. Don't be left behind 😢😢❤
For the 1984 games, L.A. did something very smart and that was asking businesses to start earlier at 6am so as to get more cars off the freeways as possible. At the time, it was one of the smartest things they did, and the second thing they did was to basically tell everyone who lives in L.A. if you don't have to drive, DON'T during the games. That helped big time and the freeways were very little for the full two weeks of the games. That's what they need to do again. Now we have a number of people that can work from home that couldn't do it back in 1984 because the technology wasn't available back then.
LAX was an absolute mess prior to the '84 games but the freeways were fantastic during the games. It's true that everyone really did their part in either not driving or taking the metro buses during the events. The homeless, pavement dwellers were relocated "further east" but the numbers weren't as massive as they are now with much greater drug use and mental health problems beyond comprehension.
That's only a part of what they did. They asked people to go on vacation during that period. But the greatest factor of all was rerouting transport truck traffic to off hours!
That's exactly what I thought. Maybe because Ontario airport is in San Bernadino County, but then Long Beach is in LA county, so there goes that. And hell, Santa Monica airport used to be for private jets too. I know, they'd fly right over my dad's house lol.
@@TheEdudu15 This is what I think too, AI created. Just different parts of the video where things seemed off. No LB airport, “88 cities make up the city of la”, repeating the description of Sofi stadium, Saying the A line connects east La to santa monica when that’s actually the E (Gold) line that does that, introducing the D (Purple) line twice, and a few other things. For sure just thrown together with AI and not “proof-read” for accuracy.
So excited to see Metro being invested in!! Transportation in LA is a huge challenge, and it's nice to hear about the modern approaches and designs involved
Yeah, not more than 30 seconds in I'm already blocking SkyBuilds. Using an AI voice gives off red flags. I'll watch other videos about LA infrastructure in regards to the Olympics.
Unfortunately at 10:42 this video has made a mistake. Visitors landing at LAX will NOT be able to directly "board a subway" from LAX. In reality they will need to take the APM to the Metro K Light Rail station then Transfer to the E line light rail. To get to the E line from the K line they will need to exit the K line station (below ground), walk across Crenshaw Blvd. and wait at the at grade E line station for the next E light rail train. This will take them to the 7th St. Metro Center Station where you then can transfer to the B and D heavy rail subway lines. I hope LA 2028 committee will have ambassadors assisting travelers at the K and E lines to help guide them thru this transfer process.
Sounds like a confusing mess to me. I ride metro and have seen these kinds of glitches in place. It isn't easy for me, I can hardly imagine what a stranger new to town would think.
Yeah I’m surprised that the (K) wasn’t built with a turn in to align with the (E) via Expo to DtLA. I think the (K) is envisioned as crosstown only with no destinations via Dt.
Give Ontario Intl. Airport some attention. It doesn't compare to LAX but it's clean and allows a quick in and out for flyers and family/friends dropping off or picking up. It's a really good relief valve for LAX and the other small airports mentioned at 12:32. It's also not too far from the Olympic venues.
Way too far for the athletes and most travelers will want nonstop from their countries. I haven't used Ontarios airport but I don't think they do international. If they do, for non athletes it could work as they wont have the same concern of resting/jetlag b4 their specific sport begins competing.
@@davidargiro8306 yes, Ontario international airport (ONT) had international flights, and actually not too far, don't forget they're also building the bullet train to Vegas.
Excellent explanation! I live on the westside, regularly use metro and busses (Santa Monica has a great bus network), and have been looking forward to the Games and the transit improvements in process. I remember the double decking of LAX before the 1982 games. Hard to believe that so much has been done in 40 years. I've lived in Tokyo, NYC, DC and Chicago, each with a distinct public transportation history. Linkage to the airport was late in coming to both Chicago and DC, and to LAX. Is that just the way it goes? I think the biggest challenge in L.A. was a failure of imagination. I am sorry that the old Pacific red line right of way wasn't preserved. Hindsight is 20/20! Hope you'll give us annual progress reports.
Just gonna come out and say that infrastructure is the baseline, but services are going to be what really clinches the deal. In addition to having calm interiors, the staff working in the airports, including TSA, are going to be that proverbial “last mile” bridge between travellers and a smooth experience
The US gov needed to make room for the LA olympics and also to build theit new 'police state' Smart City. Now you know LA is in an inferno and hundreds of thousands force to evaluate.
LA Olympics will not be a financial disaster like many past Olympics because the venues exist already. Also the private funds injection will help a lot. UCLA’s campus is lovely and the athletes will love it. I predict a massive success.
I believe the 1984 Olympics in LA was one of the few Olympics that actually made money for the city. Of course, that was back when the state and city were highly functional.
@@norwegianblue2017Peter Uberroth was in charge and did a magnificent job in coordinating it, plus there were tons of volunteers. I'll never forget it. This next one should be even more spectacular.
One small addition detail in all of this. There's also a BRAND NEW arena in Inglewood, the Intuit Dome, which I believe is across the street, or at least extremely close by SoFi Stadium. This is a daring project to take on with such limited time, but only the City of Angels would take on such a task.
The airport map at 1:59 didn't fit the narrative: "Los Angles already has 4 other airports." Fullerton & Van Nuys highlighted on the map are two of the many small, local airports that don't work with large airlines. The John Wayne is in Orange County does, & you got the Burbank/Bob Hope correct, but you left out the Long Beach & (my fav. for its small-size convenience) Ontario airports. The latter serves many L.A. residents, but is just east of L.A. County.
I don't understand why LA gets to host the Olympics TWICE! Their are so many other cities that would be much better, and that could really benefit from something like this.
They will need to house the homeless and keep them off the streets like the last time when the Olympics came to town in 1984. They need to make it permanent housing actually.
Actually it wasn't that bad back then. Heck even as recently as 2010 it wasn't terrible. LA had a few areas of this population like every other city, mainly around Venice Beach, Santa Monica, and a much smaller Skid Row. But LA metro is huge--if you were a tourist before 2010, you could see a lot of parts of LA metro--Pasadena, Burbank, West Hollywood, Manhattan Beach, Anaheim, Beverly Hills, etc.--and never see a homeless person. It's somewhat still true today. Unlike San Francisco that's had that issue widespread since the 80s at least. It really started becoming a more noticeable issue in LA after 2008, and especially after Cov id in 2020.
Quite true, there were always pockets of homelessness before Covid, but it’s gotten a lot worse since. They basically set up everywhere, and the RV situation is much worse. We need to deal with the homeless people in this city, hosting millions and having them around is going to be a real issue that LA has to deal with.
Ya, both are good options. I live near Ontario Air Port, so it would be a great idea, but I'm sure L.A. would just say they have everything covered, but who knows if that will be true.
Let me correct you. Los Angeles metropolitan area has 5 airports. 1-LAX 2-Ontario Int. 3-Long Beach Airport 4-Bob Burbank Airport 5-SNA John Wayne Airport
When the mayor said car free, she was referring to getting to the various sporting events. It didn't mean there wouldn't be any cars in the city. It might not be as difficult as people think. Why? Because many of the sports venues and iconic areas of the city ARE or will be accessible via the LA Metro by the 2028 Olympicsa. The Coliseum BMO Stadium Expo Park Swim Stadium USC Galen Center Crypto Arena Convention Center Peacock Theater UCLA Olympic Village Pauley Pavilion Long Beach Arena Exposition Park Lucas Museum Space Shuttle Museum Union Station DTLA Broad Walt Disney Concert Hall Music Center Hollywood Chinese Theater Walk of Fame Universal Studios Century City Koreatown Chinatown Little Tokyo Olvera Street LACMA Petersen Museum Farmer's Market LA Brea Tar Pits Those locations will be some of the most visited locations in LA during the Olympics, and they will ALL be accessible via the LA Metro.
Did you notice the big, glaring omission from your list? So-fi Stadium (and the Kia Forum, for that matter) are not on the list, and that's where the main events for the World Cup, the Super Bowl, and the Olympics will all be held. Unfortunately *that* people mover isn't scheduled to be complete until 2030; it kept getting put on hold because businesses in the area didn't like how they'd need to close while the guideway was under construction and keep lobbying to pull funding from the project.
I worked at the 2012 Olympics. What they do is shut down key roads during the event. It's for high end customers only (read: mega rich). You won't like it. So "car free"- pfft, I don't think so unless you're referring to cars owned by the general public.
@@user-nh2bf4to7gyou got that wrong about the people mover it will be open just for the Olympics but it won’t be open to the general public until early 2030
Los Angeles does need a LOT of work. As we know, like in most places that host big events, it will just be temporary "fix". Metro system (Bus & Trains) are not always clean and definitely not safe with all the homeless and "law abiding" citizens that hop on. The traffic is horrible already around all the stadiums and arenas LA will most likely use for the Olympics. Now imagine with an influx of people. Cleaning the streets will be tough as well because everywhere you go the streets for the most part are busy and theres people living in the streets all over the place.
Fantastic video! …Do you plan to credit the writers of the articles you’ve plagiarized? Or the composers of the works amorphously pieced together? All with the explicit use of “open” AI, for your capital monetary gain?
How does that song go? "Knock down paradise and put up a parking lot?" I suppose that high speed rail from Vegas might be an option for alternative lodging and transport.
Best wishes to Los Angeles! Love the city. Hope people get their act together to move the platform to the next level. US’s infra is quite behind, which has hindered progress in people’s lives and further modernization
The biggest problem the US has is that it doesnt really have mixed use zones and medium density housing, which would create more urban centers and make public transport actually viable. Now u either have a sometimes deserted high rise cbd surrounded by low density single family homes.
The single family zones are the bane of modern city life. The easiest path to solving most of the problems associated with the “garden beautiful” movement from the late 19th century is to overhaul our present zoning codes. Transit should be expanded to include minibuses that serve local mixed use areas of medium density housing and act as feeder routes for rail and tram networks. Private cars will decline when better public transit is in place. Small businesses should be permitted in all zones especially within presently zoned for single families. This is a unique opportunity to really make constructive changes to our unlivable car-choked cities.
There are tons of these mixed use buildings. Nobody wants to live in them. I've lived in condos and townhomes most of my adult life until I bought a single family home in 2015. Nothing beats having a real back yard and knowing all your neighbors. Especially if you have kids.
A lot of the facilities have already been built. What they have to do is get the transportation (airport, between venues) infrastructure built sooner rather than later.
I like the map at 1:59, where they say that there are 4 other airports in los angeles. They show Fullerton and Van Nuys, both of which do not have commercial flights but they do not show Long Beach or Ontario, which are both great airports with lots of commercial flights.
Los angles is an amazing city with 3rd Olympic host and host World Cup of soccer and World Cup for club of soccer.los angles is a place deserve to be glory especially its infrastructure projects
Most establishments around LA metro have public bathrooms making public toilets somewhat redundant. It's not like NYC where almost no restaurant or shop has a public restroom.
At least SoFi and Metro are doing well collaborating strategic entry and exiting. I went to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour at SoFi and both public transit, self parking/ride shares have been moving efficiently and swiftly (no pun intended) in the best way possible. Interested to see how they can optimize with several thousands of fans entering and leaving the venues.
Weird how the video completely deletes two important Los Angeles airports, and added two barely used airports, and this Does not include a host of smaller airfields, including the decently large Santa Monica airport that has a lot of business jets flying in and out
That Airport map is a joke. It’s missing Long Beach and Ontario Airports. AND REALLY - Fullerton Municipal Airport is for small single engine airplanes.
LA can be ready in time. I suggest the city get the projects done at least six months before the opening of the games, and not let it sit until the last minute. They have the skill, the science, and the management to do it - they have to put it together right from the start, with no time wasted. Let's do it LA., I believe in you.
To expect LA to replicate’84 is foolish. It’s a different era & priorities are shifting. To break even on Olympic-specific projects would be a great outcome. I was there in ‘84 & it’d be great to experience the energy that was there back then!
It's worth noting that the Metro expansion and LAX upgrades both were approved and began construction before LA was even awarded the games. Their budgets are completely independent of the games. That's to say, they're not being specifically built for the Olympics. These were going to happen whether or not LA was hosting. In a post 9/11 world, it's safe to assume that security costs will easily wipe away any possibility of LA breaking even much less making a profit. I am, however, fairly optimistic that LA will have another very popular games.
They mentioned LA having four airports, but did they leave out Ontario Airport (ONT), which means the LA region is served by FIVE airports with commercial air service?
If they really wanna make a difference they should add some express lanes on the I-105 that freeway is so congested the green line does nothing to help traffic better off getting rid of it and replacing it with said express lanes
9:41 Paris is by no means smaller than LA. You're only talking about the city proper which would be like only talking about downtown LA. The Paris region Ile de France is comparable to LA size wise and has more than 12 million inhabitants
That old middle area where cars park they should build a mall so when delays do happen people can cross over to shop and lounge around trying a bunch of cool restaurants and eateries that LA has to offer from many popular ethnic foods
2:00 Los Angeles has 4 other airports? Please fix this: We have 5 Major airports: (LAX) Los Angeles, (SNA) John Wayne, (LGB) Long Beach, (ONT) Ontario, (BUR) Hollywood Burbank
@MelloCello55 We got snow. 3rd Christmas Day in a row I'll be Snowboarding in Big Bear/Snow Summit. (Greater L.A. Area) Shaun White, the Olympic Gold Medalist, grew up on these So Cal mountains.
All these infrastructure projects were planned and approved well before the Olympics were awarded. Remember, LA was originally bidding for the 2024 games not the 2028 games. All these projects would've gotten done even if LA had not been awarded the games. These projects were never Olympic specific.
And even if they do get it done, it will just be a temporary "fix", and then after they clean up some of the homelessness on the streets, it will be back to normal or worse after the events
Gee, could this be why L.A. is on fire? Just say'n . This will be L.A. rising up like the Phoenix from the ashes. Convenient that now they don't have all those pesty homeowners in their way. Prayers for those suffering from the fires. I really hope I'm wrong, but too many coincidences are pointing at this and it would be a shining example for the rest of the world to follow suit just in time for the WEF's goal of 2030.
Hollywood has never looked magical. There's a reason locals don't recommend it to tourists (there's so many more interesting places to head to, see, and explore around LA metro). But tourists insist on going to Hollywood. I did see that Hollywood wanted to revitalize the streets there adding medians, trees, greenery, etc., but last I saw that was put on hold.
LA is gonna rock way harder than Paris. We need The Dare to Launch the O.C. And none of that funky religious stuff from the artsy goth Melrose types. We'll see everyone in Hollywood for the afters.
All of the work they are doing right now are things that should have been done years ago. In other words, I am glad there is a reason to finally fix all these infrastructure problems! (Especially LAX!!! That airport is a nightmare!!!)
Time to finally build that public transport infrastructure. I lost so many friends to L.A. traffic. Literally. They all moved from L.A. and out of state because of the traffic. We actually lose highly educated and skilled human resource because of traffic. Insane.
The more long term the infrastructure becomes, the better. The airport improvements sounds great for this. The 27,000 more buses and dedicated lanes... Sounds like a nightmare. This can technically be an opportunity to build out rail that can be a "viable" long term alternative to cars if it can be designed to go - significantly - faster (including the time it gets to and from station by walking). What I see happening instead is a lowest cost temporary solution, where everything is moved back into the current travel hellscape afterwards. Ironically, this just throws away money. The better the investment for long term infrastructure use and improvement, the more money the city will recoup as well as profit. Someone should run the numbers on how much money is lost in LA from the horrible commute. And "carefully" run the numbers... Which means include things like "lost opportunities" which aren't currently on the ground today.

Quite true, there were always pockets of homelessness before Covid, but it’s gotten a lot worse since. They basically set up everywhere, and the RV situation is much worse. We need to deal with the homeless people in this city, hosting millions and having them around is going to be a real issue that LA has to deal with.
@@danmur2797 Its bad after newsom stepped in.
Hell yes to the permanent housing 🙏🏻🤞🏻
If people are smart they will fly into John Wayne, Burbank, or Ontario.
Ya, both are good options. I live near Ontario Air Port, so it would be a great idea, but I'm sure L.A. would just say they have everything covered, but who knows if that will be true.
Those are great, but LAX offers many more direct flights.
@@ChrisHCxxand it’s cheaper to land at LAX
San Bernardino airport then take 10 freeway fast track to LA
Yes but Burbank is not international.
Your kingdom come. ( Jesus of Nazareth)
We need express lanes on subways that are most important and lines from Santa Monica to long beach would help.
My city …. Los Angeles will be ready!!! ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Oh really
You are part of why LA just burned to the ground.
Let me correct you. Los Angeles metropolitan area has 5 airports.
1-LAX
2-Ontario Int.
3-Long Beach Airport
4-Bob Burbank Airport
5-SNA John Wayne Airport
Im from LA and thr place already has a shit load of people. Its going to be insane seeing that many more people convergivng to LA!
The politicians just fixed their population "problems".
When the mayor said car free, she was referring to getting to the various sporting events. It didn't mean there wouldn't be any cars in the city.
It might not be as difficult as people think. Why? Because many of the sports venues and iconic areas of the city ARE or will be accessible via the LA Metro by the 2028 Olympicsa.
The Coliseum
BMO Stadium
Expo Park Swim Stadium
USC
Galen Center
Crypto Arena
Convention Center
Peacock Theater
UCLA
Olympic Village
Pauley Pavilion
Long Beach Arena
Exposition Park
Lucas Museum
Space Shuttle Museum
Union Station
DTLA
Broad
Walt Disney Concert Hall
Music Center
Hollywood
Chinese Theater
Walk of Fame
Universal Studios
Century City
Koreatown
Chinatown
Little Tokyo
Olvera Street
LACMA
Petersen Museum
Farmer's Market
LA Brea Tar Pits
Those locations will be some of the most visited locations in LA during the Olympics, and they will ALL be accessible via the LA Metro.
Did you notice the big, glaring omission from your list? So-fi Stadium (and the Kia Forum, for that matter) are not on the list, and that's where the main events for the World Cup, the Super Bowl, and the Olympics will all be held. Unfortunately *that* people mover isn't scheduled to be complete until 2030; it kept getting put on hold because businesses in the area didn't like how they'd need to close while the guideway was under construction and keep lobbying to pull funding from the project.
Thanks for putting together this list of Metro accessible sites.
BTW SoFi is being served be EV busses and a people mover.
I worked at the 2012 Olympics. What they do is shut down key roads during the event. It's for high end customers only (read: mega rich). You won't like it. So "car free"- pfft, I don't think so unless you're referring to cars owned by the general public.
@@user-nh2bf4to7gyou got that wrong about the people mover it will be open just for the Olympics but it won’t be open to the general public until early 2030
Los Angeles does need a LOT of work. As we know, like in most places that host big events, it will just be temporary "fix". Metro system (Bus & Trains) are not always clean and definitely not safe with all the homeless and "law abiding" citizens that hop on.
The traffic is horrible already around all the stadiums and arenas LA will most likely use for the Olympics. Now imagine with an influx of people.
Cleaning the streets will be tough as well because everywhere you go the streets for the most part are busy and theres people living in the streets all over the place.
Fantastic video!

How does that song go? "Knock down paradise and put up a parking lot?"
I suppose that high speed rail from Vegas might be an option for alternative lodging and transport.
It should be a little more convenient for the LA 2028 Olympic Games comparing to 1984 Olympic Games 😊
Best wishes to Los Angeles! Love the city. Hope people get their act together to move the platform to the next level. US’s infra is quite behind, which has hindered progress in people’s lives and further modernization
Yea everything is burning now in 2025!!
The biggest problem the US has is that it doesnt really have mixed use zones and medium density housing, which would create more urban centers and make public transport actually viable. Now u either have a sometimes deserted high rise cbd surrounded by low density single family homes.
We have plenty of medium density in LA.
The single family zones are the bane of modern city life. The easiest path to solving most of the problems associated with the “garden beautiful” movement from the late 19th century is to overhaul our present zoning codes. Transit should be expanded to include minibuses that serve local mixed use areas of medium density housing and act as feeder routes for rail and tram networks. Private cars will decline when better public transit is in place. Small businesses should be permitted in all zones especially within presently zoned for single families.
This is a unique opportunity to really make constructive changes to our unlivable car-choked cities.
There are tons of these mixed use buildings. Nobody wants to live in them. I've lived in condos and townhomes most of my adult life until I bought a single family home in 2015. Nothing beats having a real back yard and knowing all your neighbors. Especially if you have kids.
I think they found a Solution
Did anybody else pause it at 1:08? Yeah that’s OJ holding the torch my only question is, is that A.C. Cowlings in a white Bronco behind him? 😂😂😂
10:38 What train from LAX to Santa Monica are they talking about? Maybe some time in future, not yet.
A lot of the facilities have already been built. What they have to do is get the transportation (airport, between venues) infrastructure built sooner rather than later.
I like the map at 1:59, where they say that there are 4 other airports in los angeles. They show Fullerton and Van Nuys, both of which do not have commercial flights but they do not show Long Beach or Ontario, which are both great airports with lots of commercial flights.
Los angles is an amazing city with 3rd Olympic host and host World Cup of soccer and World Cup for club of soccer.los angles is a place deserve to be glory especially its infrastructure projects
Remind me again how many public toilets the city of LA has?
Most establishments around LA metro have public bathrooms making public toilets somewhat redundant.
It's not like NYC where almost no restaurant or shop has a public restroom.
The homeless call that the public street 😂
@@HoodRatsPod You're thinking San Francisco.
Pick a sidewalk.
Use an actual human not ai
Why does it matter
I'd wager that the first Olympics in ancient Greece were greener Olympics.
It's great to see the young OJ Simpson carry the Olympic Torch up from the Pacific Palisades. Who knew at the time he would set the world on fire.
dawg this gonna be crazy i live like down town
And, now?
soooo are they building the olympic village over in the palisades and in altadena??
Great Reset Wildfires
At least SoFi and Metro are doing well collaborating strategic entry and exiting. I went to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour at SoFi and both public transit, self parking/ride shares have been moving efficiently and swiftly (no pun intended) in the best way possible. Interested to see how they can optimize with several thousands of fans entering and leaving the venues.
Weird how the video completely deletes two important Los Angeles airports, and added two barely used airports, and this
Does not include a host of smaller airfields, including the decently large Santa Monica airport that has a lot of business jets flying in and out
Van Nuys and the Fullerton airports are nothing compared to Long Beach and they’re missing the Ontario airport completely as well
That Airport map is a joke. It’s missing Long Beach and Ontario Airports. AND REALLY - Fullerton Municipal Airport is for small single engine airplanes.
Also, John Wayne
Yes I would add John Wayne which is closer than some eastern airports. Also SD is going to play a major role.
Little mistake!
The train going from East LA to Santa Monica is not the A line, it is the E line(Yellow/ new gold line)
No wonder they had these fires starting😮😮
Why use AI voice? Just use your own voice!
10:38 I hope SNL does a sketch from 'The Californians' about the Olympics.
Well they did a Mormon skit when Utah hosted in 2002 since it LA Scientology jokes will definitely go in
Trust me it will be funny as hell. Best of all Los Angeles citizens will still have a good laugh with it as well.
LA can be ready in time. I suggest the city get the projects done at least six months before the opening of the games, and not let it sit until the last minute. They have the skill, the science, and the management to do it - they have to put it together right from the start, with no time wasted. Let's do it LA., I believe in you.
To expect LA to replicate’84 is foolish. It’s a different era & priorities are shifting. To break even on Olympic-specific projects would be a great outcome. I was there in ‘84 & it’d be great to experience the energy that was there back then!
It's worth noting that the Metro expansion and LAX upgrades both were approved and began construction before LA was even awarded the games. Their budgets are completely independent of the games. That's to say, they're not being specifically built for the Olympics. These were going to happen whether or not LA was hosting.
In a post 9/11 world, it's safe to assume that security costs will easily wipe away any possibility of LA breaking even much less making a profit.
I am, however, fairly optimistic that LA will have another very popular games.
No mention that the 84' Olympics were a private enterprise. Peter Uberoff a successful businessman was in charge. Not some government bureaucrat.
@@TheLute70 to be fair. The 2028 Olympics are also privately funded just like in 1984.
Very interesting
They mentioned LA having four airports, but did they leave out Ontario Airport (ONT), which means the LA region is served by FIVE airports with commercial air service?
Interesting 🧐
If they really wanna make a difference they should add some express lanes on the I-105 that freeway is so congested the green line does nothing to help traffic better off getting rid of it and replacing it with said express lanes
9:41 Paris is by no means smaller than LA. You're only talking about the city proper which would be like only talking about downtown LA. The Paris region Ile de France is comparable to LA size wise and has more than 12 million inhabitants
Sad for the homeless. The Homeless ALWAYS disappear in Olympic cities....... Where do they go???
That old middle area where cars park they should build a mall so when delays do happen people can cross over to shop and lounge around trying a bunch of cool restaurants and eateries that LA has to offer from many popular ethnic foods
2:00 Los Angeles has 4 other airports? Please fix this:
We have 5 Major airports: (LAX) Los Angeles, (SNA) John Wayne, (LGB) Long Beach, (ONT) Ontario, (BUR) Hollywood Burbank
John Wayne is in OC
I can not wait, it is going to be amazing
Its going to be a clusterfuck. Traffic already bad on a normal day.
@@rustybrosnot after the planned fire
@@ashleyt3341 too soon bro 😏
2 yrs away from World Cup, 4 yrs from Olympic, did not see any major constructions yet😂.
The initial demolition phase just ended.
We're L.A., we could host the 2028 SUMMER and the 2030 WINTER Olympics, no problem.
Um…no snow. ?
@MelloCello55 We got snow. 3rd Christmas Day in a row I'll be Snowboarding in Big Bear/Snow Summit. (Greater L.A. Area) Shaun White, the Olympic Gold Medalist, grew up on these So Cal mountains.
@ Bunny hills.
Still no Metro line into the Valley were half the population of LA live ?
Yeah this is definitely going over budget and over time 😂
But it will be useful for the city and a much needed improvement. So the city gets the final laugh on this.
All these infrastructure projects were planned and approved well before the Olympics were awarded. Remember, LA was originally bidding for the 2024 games not the 2028 games.
All these projects would've gotten done even if LA had not been awarded the games. These projects were never Olympic specific.
With the Problems of LA's Measure M, this comment is a giant understatement.
@@trevorthefoamer220What problems?
And even if they do get it done, it will just be a temporary "fix", and then after they clean up some of the homelessness on the streets, it will be back to normal or worse after the events
Gee, could this be why L.A. is on fire? Just say'n . This will be L.A. rising up like the Phoenix from the ashes. Convenient that now they don't have all those pesty homeowners in their way. Prayers for those suffering from the fires. I really hope I'm wrong, but too many coincidences are pointing at this and it would be a shining example for the rest of the world to follow suit just in time for the WEF's goal of 2030.
Yes look at the places that is burning and connect the dots on the LA smart city 2028
I was at Hollywood yesterday and let me tell you it does not look magical.. but I am excited to see this new changes for the Olympic!!
Hollywood has never looked magical. There's a reason locals don't recommend it to tourists (there's so many more interesting places to head to, see, and explore around LA metro). But tourists insist on going to Hollywood.
I did see that Hollywood wanted to revitalize the streets there adding medians, trees, greenery, etc., but last I saw that was put on hold.
Hollywood is not magical at all. 😢
If the Plump Chump, is still around he could open the games!
Maybe he’ll participate in some of the events!
The ten metre high dive comes to mind!
Triple Lundy right into the living room he occupies rent-free in your mind.
LA is gonna rock way harder than Paris. We need The Dare to Launch the O.C. And none of that funky religious stuff from the artsy goth Melrose types. We'll see everyone in Hollywood for the afters.
Of course. The stage doesn't get bigger than LA!
All of the work they are doing right now are things that should have been done years ago. In other words, I am glad there is a reason to finally fix all these infrastructure problems! (Especially LAX!!! That airport is a nightmare!!!)
Just saying A line is Long Beach to Azusa not Santa Monica that’s E line
💯💯💯💯
Time to finally build that public transport infrastructure. I lost so many friends to L.A. traffic. Literally. They all moved from L.A. and out of state because of the traffic. We actually lose highly educated and skilled human resource because of traffic. Insane.
The more long term the infrastructure becomes, the better. The airport improvements sounds great for this. The 27,000 more buses and dedicated lanes... Sounds like a nightmare.
This can technically be an opportunity to build out rail that can be a "viable" long term alternative to cars if it can be designed to go - significantly - faster (including the time it gets to and from station by walking). What I see happening instead is a lowest cost temporary solution, where everything is moved back into the current travel hellscape afterwards. Ironically, this just throws away money. The better the investment for long term infrastructure use and improvement, the more money the city will recoup as well as profit. Someone should run the numbers on how much money is lost in LA from the horrible commute. And "carefully" run the numbers... Which means include things like "lost opportunities" which aren't currently on the ground today.
Whose here after the fires?
Start by getting rid of homelessness. Too many people living on the streets. Also clean up the streets. The city is filthy.
And some streets are not well maintained either.
