said that he has a team intended "looking and reimagining LA 2.0" and that he is "organizing a Marshall Plan."
Lots more population-dense Brutalist apartment blocks and public transportation for the peasantry, significantly fewer expensive little single family houses on their own little lots endlessly filling up the landscape? Or possibly I’ve just become cynical… | In a Saturday interview with NBC News, Newsom was asked about the forthcoming national and international events the city will be hosting in upcoming years, such as the 2028 Summer Olympics, and how the city will be able to recover by then.
Newsom said that these events are an "opportunity" for California and the US to "shine," and "that's why we're already organizing a Marshall Plan, we already have a team looking and reimagining LA 2.0 and we are making sure everyone's included, not just the folks on the coast, people here that were ravaged by this disaster."
Newsom was pressed to explain his "Marshall Plan," to which he said, "We're still fighting these fires, so, we're already talking to city leaders, we're already talking to civic leaders, we're already talking to business leaders and nonprofits, we're talking to labor leaders."
"We're starting to organize how we can put together a collection of individuals on philanthropy for recovery, how we can organize the region, how we can make sure that we are seeking federal assistance for the Olympics more broadly, but also federal assistance for the recovery efforts and how we can galvanize the community with folks that love this community to really develop a mindset so that at scale, we're dealing with the scope of this tragedy and responding to it at scale with efficiency like the executive order I talked about, time value of delivering projects, addressing building codes, addressing permitting issues, and moving forward to rebuilding and being more resilient.

Newsom on Monday expanded the special California Legislature session that was convened in November in response to Trump's election victory to include proposed funding for wildfire recovery efforts in Los Angeles. Newsom has proposed that California provide at least $2.5 billion in additional funding.
