Olympic Games-2028: Los Angeles wants to take inspiration from the athletes' village in Paris. "There will be market rate housing here as well as affordable housing: that’s a great example," said Mayor Karen Bass.

Of the 2,800 apartments planned to accommodate the more than 14,000 athletes, almost a third - or just under 700 - will be available for sale. The rest will be distributed between social housing, rentals and offices. The village will be built on a site which extends over 52 buildings between the towns of Saint-Denis and Saint-Ouen, north of Paris.
