<p><b>We are pleased to announce the two winners who will each receive $100,000 to implement their projects:</b></p>
<p>
</p><ul>
<li><b>Top Voted: <a href="http://myla2050connect2015.maker.good.is/projects/Young_Ethnographers">Los Angeles Promise Zone</a></b></li>
<li><b> Jury Voted: <a href="http://myla2050connect2015.maker.good.is/projects/casalosangeles">CASA of Los Angeles</a></b></li>
</ul>
<p>This is an open call for ideas. Making LA the best place to connect means that Angelenos are empowered to contribute meaningfully in civic processes. It means that an expanded network of transportation options facilitates the easy flow of people and ideas.</p>
<p>How can your idea increase our region’s voting rates? Our volunteerism rates? For this challenge, we want to discover ideas that will make LA the best place to connect today and in 2050. What does connect look like? Here are the LA2050 “Connect” Metrics:</p>
<p></p><li> Rates of volunteerism</li>
<li> Voting rates by race</li>
<li> Adults getting sufficient social & emotional support</li>
<li> Median travel time to work</li>
<li> Attendance at cultural events</li>
<li> Number of public transit riders</li>
<li> Participation in neighborhood councils</li>
<li> Percentage of Angelenos that volunteer informally (Dream Metric)</li>
<li> Government responsiveness to residents’ needs (Dream Metric)</li>
<li> Transit-accessible housing and employment (the share of housing units and percentage of jobs that are located near transit)</li>
<li> Total number of local social media friends and connections (Dream Metric)</li>
<li> Attendance at public/open streets gatherings (Dream Metric)</li>
<li> Residential segregation (Dream Metric)</li>
<li> Access to free wifi (Dream Metric)</li>
<p>Tell us how your idea, project, or program can help Los Angeles become the best place in the world to connect. Describe your idea by filling out the application below, and receive $100,000 to make it happen in 2016.</p>
<p>Submit an application between Tuesday September 8th, 12:00pm (noon Pacific Time) and Tuesday October 6th, 12:00pm (noon Pacific Time). Your application will go through a moderation process to ensure that your project adheres to all challenge rules. From Tuesday October 20th, 12:00pm (noon Pacific Time) to Tuesday November 3rd, 12:00pm (noon Pacific Time), we’ll open challenge submissions to public voting. Rally your colleagues and friends to get behind your effort and join the public in selecting the winners. The jury will select two winners per category. One winner will be chosen from the top 10 voted submissions – which means you need to be in the top 10 to win. A second winner will be chosen from all submissions.</p>
<p>And don’t forget to get your application in early! LA2050 will showcase submissions as they are accepted up until voting begins (between Tuesday September 8th, 12:00pm noon Pacific Time and Tuesday October 20th, 12:00pm noon Pacific Time).</p>

<div class="content"><p>I was born in LA and fled with my parents to San Diego in the early 1960s never to return except for visits. I have studied Urban Planning within Landscape Architecture. I have watched San Diego grow. The fundamental problem with LA has got to be corruption. There is plenty of money to create high functioning separate communities and employment that does not require dragging your butt from one side of the LA to the other. But where is it? This is just like The South. The poor and now the middle class take it on the chin. The basics of good urban planning and reform are known. It doesn't take a genius. Something more is going on that is not being addressed. Get out while there is still time!</p></div>

<div class="content"><p>i believe that we have several hundred thousand latch key kids with the Computer social media and a bag of Top Rami Noodle soup raising our children while Mom a single parent working 2 and 3 jobs to pay for these latch key kids! we need more of back in the day they had the YWCA as one of the after school programs but today we need something a little more sophisticated for these kids of entitlement! we need to take some of those vacant warehouses and old factories and build some safe programs that they can come too directly after school with actives that would attract their attention! and not just the school of the arts where you have to have some kind of degree to enroll. We have raw undeveloped talent out here in our lower development areas of L.A. we need more home away from home programs we need for our mainstream artist Beyonce and Rhianna and Ice Cube you know the ones that our little ghetto children idolize and take their allowance money to buy their $300.00 tennis shoes or clothes lines while Mom is on section 8 housing trying to give their kids what everybody else's kids have. We call it keeping up with the Jones the same celebrity status that pays for their fame (Ghetto kids) yes them give back what was given to you!!! and that is to reach out and make an "Appearance" at some of these new state of the art after school programs geared toward getting these kids involved not as a punishment but as a way out of the Ghetto by their own good merits and achievements </p></div>
