L.A. County voters dedicated $1.6 billion annually to improve regional infrastructure by supporting new stormwater management, housing, parks, and transit projects. Individually each new project can enhance community resilience to climate change impacts. However, most projects are designed to achieve a single outcome.
By designing projects to achieve multiple goals, the funding could deliver better outcomes for Angelenos. For example, rather than just building an affordable housing project, that new building could incorporate park space and be located near a bus stop.
