The city of Los Angeles is on the verge of redrafting blueprints for its neighborhoods to accommodate more than 250,000 new homes. But under a recommendation from the planning department, nearly three quarters of the city will remain off limits to further growth.
The department’s proposal leaves alone neighborhoods that only allow for the building of single-family homes — as well as accessory dwelling units in many cases — a classification that represents 72% of the residential land in Los Angeles. Instead, the department is pushing for the city to meet the 250,000-unit production goal through incentives for greater development in existing multifamily and commercial areas.
A newly released city-funded report, more than three years in the making, bolsters critiques of so much single-family-home zoning.
The 124-page study, which the planning department initially refused to disclose to The Times through a public records request, calls the century-old zoning designation a key factor in maintaining current racial and economic disparities...

Yep. Replace civilized single family homes, however so humble, with rat-infested tenement rabbit warrens.. Equity, you know.
Having walked through a lot of LA neighborhoods currently you can literally spit and hit your neighbor’s house. Not sure how they expect to free up land to build more.

You will own nothing. The State will care for you.
Sure hope the 70% or so of middle to upper income people living in single family homes enjoy what’s coming - after all, THEY VOTED FOR IT!

Except, of course, the ruling elite.
My proposal - make every residence over 5000 square feet Section 8 multifamily housing - but the owner has to live there, as well.

Why are officials protecting single-family-home neighborhoods?
Answer: Because single-family home neighborhoods are proven winners for society.
Los Angekes always has good ideas. First they reduce the number of lanes on the roads, and then they add 250,000 more homes.
White: This document uses the term “White” for people of European ancestry. While the census defines White persons more broadly, when referenced in this study it is typically referring to people of European descent.
The APA notes that “the use of the term Caucasian as an alternative to White or European is discouraged because it originated as a way of classifying White people as a race to be favorably compared with other races.” Therefore, this document avoids the use of the term Caucasian unless it is from a primary source quote.
It must also be recognized that language evolves over time and continues to do so. Terms that are regarded as acceptable and inclusive as of the completion of this document may not necessarily remain so in the future.

Slum or No Slum? I thought that was an easy choice.
Hang on, there. This is saying that you can’t build housing for people, nor subdivide your property by putting a second home out back. You can’t use your property how you want to... because your NEIGHBORS want to live without seeing anyone else.
Because that's where "Hollywood" lives?

L.A. zoning is total b.s...
When I was have to deal with it (in a small way).. land zoned for 3 units could build as many as 5 units if the land was within 0.5 mile of major transit paths(bus paths. large boulevards, metro (train lines)..and had certain low rent units(etc)....l.a. times is a well known communist rag...”protecting” single family homes...I call B.S...L.A. political orgs. and politicians are still bought and sold by big developers.
