Just like RAND and the Milken Foundation, the Sepulveda Blvd.-headquartered Reason Foundation (motto: "Free Minds and Free Markets") has also over the years produced various reports and commentaries about traffic congestion and Los Angeles.

Here's a list of resultsfrom a search on their site for those four key words.

And here in particular is a handy interactive map from 2006 that makes state-by-state predictions about traffic congestion in 2030. That's the same generation-ahead timeline used by Milken.

According to Reason's website, the map and related analysis come from, "Building Roads to Reduce Traffic Congestion in America's Cities: How Much and at What Cost?" and its addendum, A Detailed State-by-State Analysis of Future Congestion and Capacity Needs."
The study is avaialble for free download, again via reason.org.

Los Angeles County Is Testing AI's Ability To Prevent Homelessness

In order to prevent people from becoming homeless before it happens, Los Angeles County officials are using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to predict who in the county is most likely to lose their housing. They would then step in to help those people with their rent, utility bills, car payments and more so they don't become unhoused.
