x/los-angeles-county
— 4d
New academic estimates suggest about 5,975 unsheltered residents live within a mile of Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic venues, more than three times the county’s own rough figure, as security perimeters remain undecided. Researchers warn that expanding security zones could displace nearly 6,000 people without a credible plan for shelter or services, while officials have argued the official count is lower and boundaries are not yet set.
