" summary

City of Los Angeles turns open datasets into operational tools using ArcGIS Online and free ESRI web app templates embedded in Drupal to replace static lists with a map-based cannabis locator that records 12,000 views and gives walking/driving directions. A zoning pilot spatially joins ~450 mail leads to parcel data (5 foot buffer) via spatial join, enriching records with APN and use type to prioritize commercial leads and guide targeted outreach. A four-tab homelessness app aggregates city assets and incident layers to surface candidate service and housing sites.
