The Decline of Westwood Village

Hosted by

LA's growing homeless population makes feeding people who live on the streets more urgent than ever. But that's led to a backlash in some neighborhoods that lack public toilets and other supportive services. Now there's a move in the City Council to restrict feeding in public places, as other American cities have done. Is that humane? Is it legal? We hear the pros and cons. Also, Westwood, once the hippest scene in Los Angeles, has been on the decline for decades. Saul Gonzalez tells us how the Hammer Museum has tried to bring energy back to the neighborhood.

We hear what's in store for "net neutrality" and what it could mean for you.
