Almost eighty years after the repeal of prohibition some of LA's communities have made food and beverage businesses a central component of urban redevelopment while others remain bone dry. Join the Westside Urban Forum as we ask:
- What
is the right role for bars and restaurants in a vital urban environment?
- What
are the real impacts of liquor establishments on a neighborhood?
- Does
the Conditional Use Permit and Liquor License process appropriately
measure and mitigate the impacts of such establishments?
- Can
neighborhood business districts maintain urban vitality with little or no
liquor licenses?
- In a
dispersed city with still limited public transportation options what are
the safety impacts of limiting liquor uses to entertainment districts?
- Is
the City process for enforcing conditions on alcohol-serving
establishments working?
