The Los Angeles Times interviewed Dr. Randall Kuhn, professor in UCLA Fielding's Department of Community Health Sciences, about conflicts over housing, including both for seniors and for in-patient treatment centers, in Los Angeles.
"... Underlying the conflict between neighbors and treatment centers is a widening gap between supply and demand in all kinds of housing, UCLA public health professor Randall Kuhn said in an interview.
Every community needs to accept facilities at some point, but on the other hand, we’re a democracy,' he said. Neither the city nor the county has agreed upon or given communities like San Pedro a reasonable expectation for addressing the crisis, Kuhn said."
