Of course, we could also tax the uber wealthy more extensively so there is not so much excessive wealth passed down in the first place.

“Green Alleys” and “Greenstreets” are two examples.

They are often built as community space and possibly developer assets that also help satisfy Low Impact Development (LID) requirements for stormwater.

In Garcettis term and prior— Green infrastructure was a major development for municipal infrastructure projects that sought to provide benefits towards: regulatory goals, private sector development, community spaces, and government services.

In cities like Los Angeles where buildings seek maximum footprints, Green Infrastructure solutions were directed to consider all water sources (domestic/waste/recycled/stormwater and groundwater).

The goal was to create more efficient ways for private and public sector to upgrade deteriorating infrastructure.

That’s very interesting, thanks for letting me know.

OR…

Maybe we could look at a bright light lit in Los Angeles by the City’s Department of Public Works (Garcetti) and create infrastructural opportunities for private investment ( ✅ launched pre COVID ) and protect it from corruption and political power seekers (tbd).
