Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Neighbor Effect, I sit down with Joe Linton, editor at Streetsblog L.A., in the heart of Koreatown in Los Angeles. He gives a behind-the-scenes look at how the newsroom operates on a daily basis and what it takes to cover urban issues in real time.As an advocate for the Los Angeles River and sustainable urban spaces, Joe dives into the idea that cities shouldn’t be designed for just one purpose—public spaces can and should serve multiple functions, from transportation to recreation and community building.Produced by Urban Therapy.
