If affordable housing is banned in 72% of residential areas in the City, how can we effectively address homelessness or housing affordability? Most affordable housing is being built in working-class neighborhoods of color because of zoning restrictions: e.g. single-family zones.

Preach! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey Jeopardy! - “Odds on” isn’t alliteration. It’s assonance.

I wrote a fairly exhaustive blog post on why I'm voting no on California's rent control initiative, Proposition 33, and why I recommend you do too. betterinstitutions.com/blog/why-im-vo…

Great writeup. Costa-Hawkins needs reform. But not like this.

72% of LA’s residential land is single-family zoned. These zones do NOT allow other 🏠 types, incl. multi-family & affordable housing. This has caused: - Lack of 🏠 supply - Rising rents NEW: 📍Zoning 🗺️ bit.ly/la-zoning 📍Affordable Housing 🗺️ bit.ly/ah-approved-la

🚨 Did you know? Only a tiny fraction of LA’s residential land is zoned for anything other than single-family homes. It’s time to rethink outdated zoning laws to create more affordable, inclusive housing options. 🌆 Check out this important post from LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia 👇

Was cut off from giving comment today, along with many others, despite rearranging my schedule to be able to attend at 1pm on a workday and waiting for hours. LA’s housing costs are a top voter concern. Our government should take them seriously without these insane processes. 🧵

This is why housing is so expensive. Not Blackrock, landlord greed, or avocado toast...just your neighbors & parents who bought a house, then used local government regulations to make it impossible to build more The result: Their housing prices go up. Young people locked out

Nice idea for Dodger stadium. Leave the stadium, rip out the parking, add housing and green space, get mass transit + bike link to stadium.

🚨TUES: Council will vote on where new affordable housing can be built. For too long, affordable housing has been restricted to the same multi-family areas.  We must allow more housing where there is the highest demand & least impact to vulnerable tenants bit.ly/lacontroller-c…

CA legislators looking to get housing approved quickly, please reintroduce my old bill AB 2323, which would have exempted infill housing from CEQA (died in the Leg). It had support from building industry AND major environmental groups, and was bipartisan. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billText…

🚨MAJOR HOUSING VOTE TODAY (2/25)  TODAY AT 2PM, City Council’s Planning & Land Use Management (PLUM) committee is voting on The Livable Communities Initiative, which could bring MORE housing, BETTER sidewalks, and SAFER streets to LA. 🏘️🚶‍♀️🚲 Agenda: lacity.primegov.com/Portal/Meeting…

We’re here at City Council supporting affordable housing for PUSD teachers and staff. Council is voting on whether to accept a landmark recommendation that would block that housing.
