"Chinatown redevelopment plan public hearing"

Mike Botula reports on a joint session of the Los Angeles City Council and the Board of Directors of the Community Redevelopment Agency. The session is being held to conduct a public hearing on a proposed Chinatown Redevelopment Plan, which includes provisions to increase housing in the area. In the session, several Chinatown residents offer statements of concern that the plan may not meet the critical needs of low and middle-income families and elderly residents in the community. Issues of increased traffic and related public safety problems as a result of the plan are also raised. The clip includes Chinatown street scenes and some segments with only Botula's voiceover (no picture).
