New Rams Stadium Made From 60% Compostable Lower-Income Homes
Construction is underway for the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, and true to the city of Los Angeles’ forward-thinking spirit, lead engineering firm AECOM Hunt has promised that the finished venue will comprise of no less than 60% of sustainable, upcycled low-income housing.
“As the sole representatives of America’s progressive movement, we Californians have a duty to challenge those not on the coast to rethink what the absolute limits of zero-waste can be,” said AECOM Hunt CEO Michael S. Burke. “Can water be zero-waste? Can affordable housing? What about actual meat-bits of your average, below-median working-class taxpayer? It really makes you think.”
Burke boasted that his firm’s commitment to mindfulness even went so far as to influence the selection of the compostable homes themselves.
“We had a staggering, almost-unconscionable amount of dilapidated housing to work with just in the few square miles surrounding the stadium, but we wanted to make sure we reflected the diverse makeup of all of LA’s low-income community,” said Burke. “Latinx homes, Caucasian homes, even the East Asian/Pacific Islander homes out in Monterey Park, we took them all and are going to make millions off their cultures and physical homes.”
With more environmentally conscious additions such as its credit-card-only concessions and low-flush luxury boxes still in development, it remains uncertain as to when SoFi Stadium will be complete. Until then, LA residents will be impatiently awaiting the inaugural kickoff, which will take place on top of a new proprietary artificial turf made from repurposed WIC cards.
