To the editor: Two letter writers recommend that the 2028 Olympics must be moved because of the stress of rebuilding after final month’s fires and the lack of world standing because of the unfolding coup try in Washington.
However three years is a very long time. The devastation in Altadena and Pacific Palisades, whereas grievous within the excessive for these communities, represents solely a minuscule fraction of the housing inventory within the higher L.A. space.
Three years ought to enable for a good portion of the rebuilding particularly if we apply methods to easy the method. Delaying the growth of the Los Angeles Conference Middle is one such transfer, and I’m positive we are able to discover others.
So far as our nation’s standing on the planet is anxious, the courts and the midterm elections can and should proper our ship. However the citizens should ignore the “actuality TV” lies we’re presently being fed and suppose critically. Bear in mind, President Trump shouldn’t be a profitable businessman — he solely performed one on TV.

To the editor: Los Angeles should host the 2028 Olympics. If the athletes have to face on cardboard containers to obtain their medals due to price range constraints, let it occur.
The Olympic spirit encompasses many facets of life, such because the fraternity of countries competing peacefully not only for the medals, however to push ourselves to realize that which is in us, and to search out these issues we didn’t know we possess. Via this competitors, we attain new heights.
To surrender as a result of it’s laborious units a horrible instance for many who have misplaced and suffered tremendously from the latest fires. For all on this sprawling metropolis who battle day by day to run their very own private race in life, the Video games should go on.
