LA hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, in den nächsten fünf Jahren 450.000 weitere Häuser zu bauen, um den Wohnungsbedarf zu decken und die Preise zu senken. Dennoch hat die Stadtplanungskommission von Los Angeles gerade einstimmig dafür gestimmt, die derzeitige Zoneneinteilung für Einfamilienhäuser beizubehalten. Sie behaupten, es seien 72 % des Landes.

Housing prices have gone up everywhere of course but this is the main reason they have shot up on the West Coast. The reasonably accessible land has already had SFH developed on it. Now your options are build over an hour away from a major city, or add density. And a lot of places ban density.
Legalize housing.
Also I always found it odd how a huge portion of LA is in a valley that’s seperate from downtown. Downtown LA is literally on the edge of LA.
It’s [even worse](https://belonging.berkeley.edu/berkeley-study-78-percent-la-region-residential-land-zoned-exclusionary-housing#:~:text=Berkeley%20study:%2078%20percent%20of%20LA%20region,less%20than%2010%20percent%20single%2Dfamily%2Donly%20zoned%20($405%2C875)) when you look at Greater LA: 77-78%
No wonder traffic is so bad.
A huge barrier to progress is the fact that people simply don’t understand what it means to scrap single-family zoning, and they’ve taken it to mean that you’re just going to get rid of single family houses altogether.
Maybe single-family-*only* zoning is the better name for it. We have to work with the assumption that people have zero education and zero awareness of urban planning issues
And people ask how do democrats hurt working class people: zoning laws. They love zoning laws that only benefit NIMBY types.
Given it’s a high seismic zone, single family 1-2 stories houses are safer than huge apartments
Ban SFR zones like Minneapolis did.
Lol
If Tokyo can build up there’s no excuse for LA not to do the same. Density is the solution to so many problems in the U.S.
That is fucked up
It’s especially offensive because we’ve come so far in protecting our buildings against earthquakes. I know that was often used as an excuse against building upwards, but we’ve come a long way in the building code to protect against building collapse…
Isnt chicago bigger?
American dream not doing so hot
and people wonder why theres so many homeless people in the city
Isn’t SFH zoning dead statewide?
That’s why California can’t get any more electoral votes
The City of Los Angeles already supplies more housing units than any other city in the State.
Obviously, not everyone can or should live in the City of Los Angeles.
