That's a great question, Fred. To combat the high cost of housing, the government in LA has been pushing for high-density living. High rises. Backyard additions to create separate guesthouses that can be rented out. They relaxed the parking requirements for this type of housing (previously a developer had to have x number of on-site parking spots per unit/bedroom, but now it's a lower number). To counter the resultant increase in traffic congestion, public transportation has been pushed (even here in LA, where the car is king). But looking at how the subway system in NY, for example, probably served to spread Covid-19 to such devastating effects, maybe encouraging everyone to take public transportation is not such a great idea after all.
