What LA is doing is doing is offing the discount in whole districts, neighborhoods and blocks. Where as the private utilities are doing it through the CARE, LIEE, LIEHP and other programs many of the nonprofits contract out. But the cost of these programs are charged on everyone's utility bills.
These Green Programs are basically a scam. They are a way of requiring everyone to swap out their old system with a new one. With the guise of being earth friendly, which in reality often isn't, the companies doing the manufacturing or delivering the service have a whole new market to sell to. Kind of like clothing designers change trendy styles to get more sales.
Los Angeles has welcomed all the poverty it now has, and squeezed the middle class to subsidize them. Now LA is at a turning point where it has so much poverty, and it's becoming very obvious that LA can not afford what that sanctuary city has become.
It's like the LA Raza leaders telling everyone to keep breeding and they will breed their way into prosperity without realizing someone has to support them.
When those paying those high utility bills start having to cut back on other needs, then you're going to see a spiraling down even quicker. People will cut back on eating out or what ever/where ever they can. Then those businesses will lay off, and so on.
