LA SAFE from the Community’s Perspective

The document highlights the social disruption caused by relocation under LA SAFE, noting that 40% of surveyed individuals know friends or neighbors who have left and 25% know family who have left. It argues that government-led planning often lacks inclusiveness, with communities frequently asked to comment on plans they did not create.
