Calif.: Boy, 7, Meets a NIMBY World

Boy, 7, Meets a NIMBY World
March 26, 2006

The kid's got a healthy appetite. In the span of just a few hours on Wednesday, he devoured helpings of lasagna, chicken, pizza and barbecued pork. When he had wolfed down the shredded pork, he took a straw and drank the pool of grease it had been sitting in.

Tyrese is 7, and his energy and spirit are as big as his appetite, which is all the more amazing when you consider that the Union Rescue Mission on skid row in downtown Los Angeles is his 10th place of residence in a short life.


Now how much less land use regulation generally and "open space preservation" in particular would be needed in Los Angeles County to find a place for Tyrese and his family to live?
