A more livable, advanced Los Angeles
A city that works for working people. A future young people can actually count on.
Modern governance. Smarter planning. Better city life.
why is l.a. broken?
why can’t anyone fix it?
because the rules are set up that way.
Livable Advanced LA is built to fix the systems that shape everyday life in the best city on Earth.
Every resident deserves a safe, affordable, and honest city that’s actually doing everything it can.
Our focus is simple, but powerful:
• improve life for working people,
• open doors for young people,
• cut out corruption,
• build a city of strong, dense urban centers that bring culture and community back to life.
What we’re working on: Changing the rules
Los Angeles is one of the best cities in the world, yet our system was designed a century ago.
We want to change the rules by pushing for reforms that make life easier and more hopeful.
• Better representation so every neighborhood has a real voice.
• Stronger leadership so basic services actually work.
• More homes and more vertical growth in downtown, Hollywood, and our other urban cores so people can live close to jobs and culture.
• Faster, smarter hiring so the city has enough workers to keep streets clean and services running.
• Real long-term planning so young people inherit a city that works instead of one that is always falling behind.
Our focus is on big, clear improvements that we will actually feel in our daily lives. Stuff you can see. Stuff that changes culture, alongside the physical stuff,
and untangling this complicated mess of laws that make it so nobody can truly solve anything with the rules right now.
CHARTER REFORM
CHARTER REFORM
THE CHARTER REFORM FRAMEWORK
We created (and are expanding) a 30-point list of reforms that would make Los Angeles more open, more reliable, and more prepared for the future. These ideas strengthen accountability, reduce backroom influence, and support a city that grows upward and inward instead of outward and stagnant.
This framework has one goal: a city that finally works for its people, and goes all the way.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Because even the best leaders cannot fix a system that is structured to fail.
When government does its job, everything else gets easier.
Working families get stability.
Young people get a reason to stay.
Neighborhoods feel safer and more cared for.
Sidewalks get fixed.
Housing is abundant and so are jobs.
Schools are in session.
And when we build homes and culture around strong urban centers like downtown and Hollywood, Los Angeles becomes more dynamic, more walkable, and more affordable.
A city that works for the people creates a better life for everyone.
And a future young people can feel excited about again.
