Los Angeles is rapidly becoming a city of seniors, with a quarter of its population expected to be 60 or older by 2031, according to the L.A. Times. This demographic shift, driven by declining birth rates, reduced immigration, and unaffordable housing, presents significant challenges for city infrastructure and the well-being of its diverse communities
