Brief
Based on the high rate of marijuana dispensaries that have opened recently, I believe that the new ordinance by the LA city council is a good measure to protect children. It is not the fact that the dispensaries are necessarily bad for children to be near, but it often is the case that there are some less than desirable people that tend to congregate near these places. Therefore, this map shows areas where children frequently go to school, play, or hang out at, per the city council's orders. There is to be a buffer of 1,000 feet from these areas, which I have also included on the map.
The second map shows the Hollywood area specifically, where there happen to be a lot of dispensaries which overlap with schools, some right next to each other in fact. Under the new ordinance, this would no longer be able to occur. This I view as a good measure, as the areas where there are a lot of young people should probably not be directly next to marijuana clubs and dispensaries.
