2 Jets at LAX Were 82 FT Apart

Why don't the take off on the outer most runways at LAX, and land on the innermost thus eliminating the need to cross in active runway after landing?

You have to cross runways either way. Crossing planes to get to the outboard runway would decrease the departure rate.

is this another case of LAX not having a parallel taxiway to roll out on to?

A different article said Republic landed 25L and failed to hold short of 25R. There is a parallel taxiway between those runways.

Why don't they takeoff on 7/25 and land on 6/24 or visa versa. They would still have 2 rwy's each for departures and arrivals, but wouldn't have to cross an active as much
