Mass displacement of unhoused people and human rights concerns loom over LA Olympics planning
A Los Angeles City Council committee meeting highlighted concerns over LA28's human rights strategy for the 2028 Olympics, with critics questioning how homelessness and potential displacement of unhoused individuals will be managed. The strategy, which relies on existing facilities rather than new venues, faces scrutiny over security perimeters that could displace hundreds or thousands of people, prompting calls for interagency collaboration and external funding.
