What issues should we focus on for the next Hack for LA?

We're beginning to plan for our next Hack for LA event - which sponsors we should reach out to, what kind of prizes we should offer, what data we should try and have available, and how we should focus our work.  Please give us your feedback about which LA issues and data are most interesting to you - there are only 3 questions!

    Q: If you're not interested in any of the topics listed in the last question, please let us know what topics do sound good to you.
    A: Actually, the choices all sound good. It’s too hard to chose.

    Additional Topics:
    - Getting LADWP compatible with US Dept of Energy “Green Button” data access initiative.
    - Getting health related entities (including school health) ready for US Dept. of Health and Human Services “Blue Button” data access initiative.
    - Using technology for Time/Engagement optimization of city services and functions (eg. getting more citizens aware of and involved in public comments periods for legislation, permitting, etc. while at the same time greatly speeding up decision/approval processes)
