We discuss the momentum of the parking reform movement to help create more affordable and walkable communities, as well as the huge challenge of LA's sidewalks in disrepair and the opportunity to make a major transformation in walkability in Los Angeles before the 2028 Olympics.\nNote: This episode was recorded in the waning days of 2024, but given the devastating fires currently raging in LA, my original \"hometown,\" my heart just breaks for everyone living through these challenging times.\nThank you so much for tuning in!
