LA law requires that Pacific Palisades rebuilding after fires must include low-income housing

Housing and land use experts say a Los Angeles city law could require the Pacific Palisades to include “affordable” housing to replace older buildings.

Housing and land use experts say a Los Angeles city law could require the Pacific Palisades to include “affordable” housing to replace older buildings, and for new buildings where owners cannot definitively prove that their rental apartments had no low-income renters in the past five years.

The new Resident Protections Ordinance taking effect soon requires that “In Higher Opportunity Areas and Moderate Opportunity Areas, units deemed or presumed to be occupied by persons or families above the lower income category shall be replaced with low income units.” The RPO applies to units “subject to a form of rent or price control through a local government’s valid exercise of its police power.”

In the city of Los Angeles, which includes the Pacific Palisades — a “High Opportunity Area" — all apartment buildings built before October 1978 are subject to the city’s rent control ordinance, which means all units in such buildings would need to be replaced with units “affordable” to lower-income renters even if the existing tenants were high income.

For buildings after October 1978, owners must be able to prove that in the last five years before the fire that the tenants were all higher income, or the city will automatically apply “the percentage of Extremely Low Income, Very Low Income and Low Income Households in the same proportion as their share of all renter households within the City of Los Angeles,” which would result in requiring proportional replacement with extremely low, very low, and low income housing if owners do not have complete records for the past five years.

Stolen elections have consequences, California.

Secure your elections before it’s too late.

After Mayor Bass and other leftist creeps are done with the Pacific Palisades, it will be renamed Bass Ackwards.

In Palacides, low income level is probably at under 20 million.

How does the owner of an apartment building prove their tenants were high income? Define high income.

They paid their rent on time for 10 years?

How can it require that? Someone owns each lot. Is that homeowner required to rebuild some low income crap on his own lot?

I can see this law affecting developers creating a new subdivision, but how they hell can they require it of anyone else?

It seems anyone has a right to rebuild a similar property to what was on it before. If your house or business burns, can they require you to build something different? This is crap.

I think this pertains to apartment buildings only. Rentals.

“They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”

Make that “put up high density low income apartment towers.”

Not to mention that all the pertinent records burned up along with the buildings.

Ohhhhkayyyyy. Define “low income”. Take your time. I don’t really expect anything specific.

and will probably be covered by commission orders that prohibit rent increases or evictions whenever the commission sees fit.
Pretty expense land to have the government busybodies trying to run your business.

Multi-story, compressed “wood” “boards” and “fir” held together with staples.

Narrow hallways. Elevators that fail. Dead “sound deadeners.”

All electric (”Or else!”). “Smart” vehicular traffic, ONLY (”Or else!”).

DEI MUSCIA 24/7. Screaming. Shouting.

“Ocean View”
