We’re painting again - 4way in Pico Union finished next to a park and childcare center!
Public drinking on a pedestrian street? ⚽️ watch party? Multiple languages? Mini euro vibes on 3rd street rn👍🏼
E Line Culver City stop
So refreshing to tour an older building where you can tell, from the proportions of the rooms, the ceiling heights, and the size and positioning of the windows, that the people who built it cared about the experience of the tenants who would ultimately come to live there. (Note that these choices are generally constrained by zoning and building codes and, in almost all cases, by the economics of the project.)
you don’t have to notify em, the developer will (if following the law) and pay the tenants relocation and other benefits +LA adds 4 permanent new deed restricted units plus more on the lot- on balance win to me better solution is to be OK with SFH upzoning so more MF is spared
In March 2021, we posted: Are you one of the five families who live in the rent-controlled 1939 apartments at 6115 Romaine or in the 1917 house behind? Permits have been filed to demolish your home for a huge TOC project. The whole block of renters will be next!
@otter401 @wong_guey a charismatic center/center left YIMBY is needed to sell the public against labor on their blocking of progressivism's main goal (ie: to maximize well being and lower cost of living for working people and majorities - not an in-class of workers)
@JMGregorchuk Worst of all possible outcomes. SoCal labor killed the transfer tax relief part of the package. They put pressure on Bass and the LA delegation who all caved. Without the support of the LA delegation passage of TT relief cannot happen.
-Mixed use density with new trees and an actually well-connected courtyard to public right of way? -Aerial light rail + off street bike lane? -Decent new bus shelter + connection? More of this LA 👏🏼
@alexthapar leasing up already, but they may need to drop prices to get full occupancy
@malashenk0 it's LA City (culver is a couple blocks west)
@MattMasonCA true over 85ft, sadly (hence the 'most')
One of the frustrating things in LA land use is how trades unions will appeal housing under “environmental concerns”, literally sometimes saying “building this will cause cancer” - only to drop it all if developer agrees to employ em’: TG we got rid of most of this w/ AB 130 💪🏻
(the project above was filed in 2022 and used an EIR so they couldn’t get advantage of AB 130 in time and as recently as March of this year had to deal with these people in city council who rejected the union’s appeal)
@LA_Multi_Fam been wondering this myself - i recently interviewed a barber working and living out of a warner center live-work unit and his take was he liked it and thought a ton more ppl would use them if they knew (only ~7 of the dozens of live work units in the bldg appeared used 4yrs on)
New biodiverse native habitat next infill housing being built up - love to see it. This is Socal's future.
This weekend @SamoFund (a Great Park supporter) celebrated their successful greening of the Olympic Median Microforest (Olympic & 18th St.) Planted with our local native plants this thriving habitat is crucial to maintain our urban biodiversity. We saw 🐝🪲🐦⬛🌼👏
@phunk2243 i mean, i was just in paris and the boulevard main commercial roads all had wide sidewalks, but the interior side streets didn't cus their road widths were like 15-25 feet, much slower traffic, and people often walked along side sidewalk when it was crowded
@aporia9n nothing wrong with either life, but takes like this only celebrating the former makes sense if you a) ignore all trade offs of suburban car-only life + b) discount the financial iceberg of most middle class americans (ie: at risk even with insurance w/ any major health emergency)
That means that for every $1 Measure ULA raises, it robs 80 cents from future property tax receipts. Not very optimal! But surely there's a number that maximizes net public revenues, taxing transactions at the highest possible rate without deterring them in the first place...
@CityZoningPro Santa Monica is pursuing a water down/delay ordinance but it won’t happen til council can meet after July 1, so hope developers can acquire and submit in the window between
