And there are 1,384,000 households in LA City. By this count, 96.5% of them do not live in an AH unit. Income-restricted housing is awesome. But we cannot expect it to be the answer to LA's housing crisis.

Seriously, how do these people think affordable housing gets built? It just magically materializes?

"Under conventional value capture, if I own land in Los Angeles and want to put 20 units of housing on it, I assume a special responsibility to house low-income households. If I leave the land empty, I owe low-income people nothing." 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you @ShawnHubler @nytimes for highlighting why people are departing CA. Our own @LisaHershey said, “The people who are leaving the state are the people who can’t afford to live here.” We need #CALeg to follow @roadmaphome2030 + its policy solutions. nyti.ms/3vdGinw
This! I've been talking about this forever! Attn @Planning4LA: $161 will still allow for tons of frivolous appeals that do nothing but waste time and $
Why don't the people who say we don't need more housing because a few percent of homes are vacant ever talk about parking spaces?
The news hasn't been very clear on what Berkeley City Council actually did so let me explain: Single-Family zoning hasn't been voted away. They voted to have the Planning Commission and the Planning Department propose new zoning codes over a 1.5 year process.
"value capture" is pure distilled LA planner brain

“Supply is good and social housing/public housing/rental assistance are also good” is an inconvenient take. Many ppl will expect you to choose a side. But you don’t have to... because you can have it all. And if people don’t like that, well, just tell them to go F themselves.
Could @MitchOFarrell have credibly committed to closing Echo Park at a future date? Like, just pick a date/time (eg once pandemic is mostly over), broadcast it widely, and allow ppl to plan accordingly?

If you think our cities have a housing affordability crisis and the only way to solve it is by filling vacant units with un- or under-housed people...wait till you see what happens to housing costs when we have a 0% vacancy rate!
The “downwardly mobile middle class” is largely a synonym for “Millennials who are locked out of the housing market.”
One of the weirdest ticks of NIMBYism - and there are a lot - are complaints that our infrastructure can’t handle more people. Our infrastructure can’t handle *fewer* people. More people = more revenues = more resilient infrastructure. Low-density sprawl is infrastructure doom.

I’m over the moon that #SB9 — legalizing duplexes & lot splits — just passed the Assembly. Along with the Assembly passage of our #SB10 on Monday, this is a big week for housing. Let’s keep up the fight for a brighter housing future for California. Congratulations @toniatkins!
Historic. The Assembly passed SB 9 by @SenToniAtkins, which ends single-unit zoning in California. I'm so proud of my team at @cayimby, who led the fight for SB 9 with our partners in Sacramento and across the state. Thank you to everyone who made this victory possible!
For the record: I ran on density. I lost — but it was the right thing to do b/c I talked to thousands & thousands of voters & helped move the conversation forward. I will not be the reason my kids are left a dying planet. It’s shocking how many LA-area reps can’t say the same.
After 18 months of research, we're proud to share the #EnoTransitCost report! 🎉 Eno convened global experts, developed a database of 180 projects, and conducted 9 case studies to uncover why U.S. transit costs so much and takes so long to build. bit.ly/EnoTransitCost…

@mtsw "I want community control" and "I want public housing" could not possibly be in more tension
Dean Preston could literally push to upzone the wealthy, transit-oriented parts of his district tomorrow and yet he chooses not to. I support social housing, but it's clear that Dean is using it as an excuse to avoid responsibility for the impacts of his anti-housing policies

I joined a few minutes late, but came in to a very strong first comment, with enviro attorney and guest speaker Sabrina Venskus saying that Scott Wiener is trying to "lobotomize CEQA." Again, off to a very strong start here.
main transferable lesson about SF politics lately: we all just believe the data we already like, believe the anecdotes we already like, believe the electeds we already like…
while left-NIMBYism is common among anti-housing politicians who claim that “building more housing=gentrification!”, the reality is the opposite: building more housing prevents displacement

I'm totally supportive of affordable housing overlays, but I really don't understand why so many income-restricted developers are determined to create additional requirements for non-subsidized developers as a way to give themselves a leg up. It's so zero (or negative) sum.
My buddy just spent $40 taking Lyft from suburbs in to Center City Philly because he didn't want to rely on trains that only run every 120 minutes. What's crazier is @SEPTA interprets him not taking the train as evidence there's not enough demand to justify running more trains!
