Haven’t done the math recently but I think there are at least 2,500 units under construction along the Expo Line with thousands more being entitled. These ridership numbers will only continue to grow.

Good news for LA: their light rail system has jumped San Diego to have the highest ridership in the nation, following a 30% year-over-year increase from the opening of the Regional Connector
This project was just unanimously approved by the planning commission! Huge thanks to everyone who lent their support, to the members of the commission, and @CD5LosAngeles! 👏👏

Correction, we are law as of yesterday!

Los Angeles, and CA more broadly, is being dragged down by policies & leaders looking backwards, to what was. We need to change that. Our policies need to address the LA that *IS*, a metropolis of millions with challenges—& the LA we want to *BECOME*. Change is hard, but needed.

A few hours after the launch event, my California student housing bill was killed by an unelected Committee Consultant who called it a “developer giveaway” She purposely withheld her proposed amendments to the bill until the last possible minute to make negotiations impossible.…
Joe is true-blue, and earnestly wants more good outcomes for more Californians. Hearing about his experience trying to make positive change here is disheartening, & illustrative of why CA is in the middle of a housing crisis—it’s a choice. Joe & CA deserve better than this.

There are two of these stores on the Fairfax & Wilshire block @KatyForLA. (And very little else that is open — all abandoned blight). Can we steer this block towards owners who will build apartments immediately? @nithyavraman @KarenBassLA @mhdcd8 @WestsideForEv @AbundantHousing

Shout out to Traci Park for voting against asking City Planning to write an ordinance allowing churches to build affordable housing. She knows that the real cause of the housing crisis is not a shortage, but rather greedy profit-hungry priests

"[Excluding] single-family neighborhoods from rezoning slashes [the Affordable Housing Overlay & TOC's] capacity...with the greatest reversals in the city’s wealthiest and whitest neighborhoods." Read @ShaneDPhillips & @redbaaron123 @latimesopinion here tinyurl.com/PhillipsBarrall
Across the city, voters sent a loud, clear message about the Los Angeles that they want to build – one with much more housing, safer streets with more bus and bike infrastructure, more green spaces, stronger protections for renters facing a brutal housing market, [cont’d]
🏃Meetup at the LA Marathon Sunday!🏃 We're gathering signatures for LA Housing Solutions ballot measure, then having lunch & drinks with advocates from WeHo and the Westside afterward! Come have a great day and help end our housing crisis! RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Last year, California passed SB4, which allows religious institutions to build affordable housing on land they already own. I asked Planning for a report on how much land would be eligible in CD5 if the bill became law. The results are pretty incredible:
Wow—huge loss for LA NIMBYs! Nithya was targeted for a recall, given a wildly redrawn district map, and is still on pace to clear 50% in the primary and avoid a runoff! This after losing Measure HLA nearly 2:1. They are paper tigers now; their day is done.
Measure HLA officially projected to pass! This is a huge day for the future of Los Angeles: a popular mandate for real and safe alternatives to driving.

Very exciting update on a cool gap closure project that will help reconnect two sides of Michigan Ave cut in half by the 10 Freeway in the 1960s. Small project with a big impact. Thanks @SMSpoke for leading the charge and @santamonicacity and @CaltransDist7 for making it happen.
The gap between the rhetoric and reform on housing crisis is so wild. We're in a crisis? So we're suspending arbitrary zoning rules? Doubling permitting/inspection capacity? Slashing fees? No? We're just doing another study and maybe tinkering on the margins with rules? Ah.
One of the Santa Monica Builder's Remedy projects appears to be moving forward as a by-right project (given expedited approval under the settlement) 1435 5th St has been upsized from 375 units in 13 floors to 422 units in 18 floors (picture is of old plans)
Haven’t done the math recently but I think there are at least 2,500 units under construction along the Expo Line with thousands more being entitled. These ridership numbers will only continue to grow.
Good news for LA: their light rail system has jumped San Diego to have the highest ridership in the nation, following a 30% year-over-year increase from the opening of the Regional Connector

The Regional Connector has made a big, positive difference for me as a metro rider. Glad it has for so many others too!

20th century land use planning has created an awful lot of neighborhoods that are not well suited to an aging population. More diverse structure types at a range of price points in every neighborhood would help (and repeal Prop 13). npr.org/2024/04/18/124…
As @MichaelManvill6, @elpaavo, and @ShaneDPhillips concluded in our paper on TOC: it shows you that streamlined ministerial approvals is really, really important—the lowest of the low-hanging fruit for cities facing a housing crunch. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Understudied: the fact that developers would rather build low-income housing with ministerial approval than expensive housing with full review is concrete proof that California's land use policy kills market rate affordable housing.
The cost of government-subsidized housing in Los Angeles is out of control. Out of these 17 projects, only 3 are under $600k per-unit, and many are over $800k per-unit la.urbanize.city/post/state-awa…
@MoveLATransit @InnerCityLaw @streetsforall @heybikela @lwvlosangeles @ActiveSGV Would be remiss if I didn't also shout out @Healing4Justice, @CenterForBioDiv, @UrbanEnviroCA @GreenClaremont, @WestsideForEv, @EastsideForAll, @southbayforward and Building Weho. Standing together to lower parking minimums. We did this together!
💪We couldn't have gotten this passed without our volunteers and the support from other amazing orgs, like... @MoveLATransit, @InnerCityLaw, @streetsforall, @heybikela,@lwvlosangeles, @ActiveSGV, and many others! SO MANY Angelenos support housing people over cars.🤗🚲🚌🚎🏗️
☑️ APPROVED! After nearly a year, the Multifamily Residential Parking Ordinance we've been pushing for was approved by the @LACountyBOS! Thanks to all who wrote in, called in, and showed up to support this ordinance, prioritizing people over cars! 🗣️📣 @scottforla @jacobpierceLA
Most North American cities can solve 2/3 of their housing crisis by allowing 5-over-1's (as-of-right) in all commercial districts. Combine with multimodal corridor improvements and allow townhouses/small-lot homes in all residential districts for maximum results.
The Five-Over-One is the workhorse of dense, walkable, affordable market rate housing. Except for NYC, wherever housing costs are too high, making it as easy as possible to build lots of these would be hugely helpful.
@streetsforall @Anne_Hidalgo CC: @MayorOfLA @HugoForCD13 @cd4losangeles @cd1losangeles @kdeleon LA needs more bike/ped infra and less/slower cars in the streets. Bike/peds activates local biz and builds community. Cars drive THROUGH communities, bikes and peds go TO communities and their sights/biz’s!
.@Anne_Hidalgo’s leadership has done this.

Correction, we are law as of yesterday!
We are officially adopted by the City Council and become law two weeks from today.
What happens when a market rate project (left) gets turned into an ED 1 project (right)? In this case, it gains an extra floor, and its mostly two-bedroom units get subdivided into one-bedroom units
Los Angeles, and CA more broadly, is being dragged down by policies & leaders looking backwards, to what was. We need to change that. Our policies need to address the LA that *IS*, a metropolis of millions with challenges—& the LA we want to *BECOME*. Change is hard, but needed.
