The Los Angeles Eco-Village Intentional Community has been fighting plans by the Los Angeles Unified School District to demolish residential buildings in their neighborhood. The School District wants to build a new elementary school on the site of affordable Eco-Village housing. The Village is a U.S. Green Building Council Neighborhood Development pilot program.
But the tide may be turning for the environmentally conscious community. At a third public meeting last night, the School District presented an alternative to the demolition. Dan Fritz attended that meeting and files this report from Pacifica station KPFK in Los Angeles.
