Beverly Hills in Crisis as Judge Mandates New Affordable Housing: "People Are Furious"
MSN ^ | 02/15/2024 | Kevin Dolak

For inhabitants of the country's most sought-after ZIP code, the unwelcome news came in December: In a move to pressure the city to zone for more affordable housing, a restrictive ruling by a Superior Court judge put a moratorium on Beverly Hills' right to approve any new home additions or project proposals by residents pending the approval of new homes for lower-income locals. In this ultra-exclusive community, where home remodeling is practically a sport, the notion that all renovations - from simple kitchen remodels to multimillion-dollar grotto installations - would require the ushering in of outsiders, or be delayed indefinitely, brought a particular unease.

That unease has turned to outrage for many living in the 5.71 square miles that make up the famed city, where rents and mortgages are more than double the national average. Following Superior Court Judge Curtis A. Kin's Dec. 23 ruling, the city now finds itself fully entrenched in a battle over what's become an urgent issue across many U.S. cities: the demand for significant and meaningful affordable housing projects. Many residents - already wary of the added foot traffic that will follow the opening of the Wilshire/Rodeo Metro station - just want the status quo to remain in Beverly Hills. Some argue that Beverly Hills simply does not have the space to accommodate any new housing at all - affordable or not.

All illegal invaders should be required to live in the one hundred most prosperous zip codes—and the problem would be solved in less than a year.

Oh nos! Affordable housing is supposed to be for the little people of flyover country.

Beverly Hills has already paid the price, they threw fundraisers and drank toasts for Democrats to show their superiority.

You wouldn’t want them to sacrifice even more, now would you?

How about tents? They're affordable.

Here's How Bad The Homeless Problem In Los Angeles Is - YouTube

I suggest we move 5,000 tents to Beverly Hills. OK, make it 10,000. Give LA a break.

Looking forward to the Beverly Hills 90210 reboot by Shonda Rhimes.

This made for a great movie. It'd make for an even greater reality.

As the Beverly Hillbillies used to sing, ‘Swimmin’ pools, movie stars, Section 8 housing”.

The Revised Beverly Hillbillies song

Takin’ his family to a
fancy place for food
He yelled for them to duck
when gunfire spoiled the mood
and ol’ Jed saw that it
endangered all his brood.

The kinfolk said
Jed, move away from there
So he loaded up the truck
and moved OUT of Beverly.
Hills, that is.
Leftist wokes.
A land of fools.

Sit a spell.
Take your bullet proof vest off.

There’s no need to pussyfoot around. Why didn’t the judge just order that water, sewer and electric utilities be shut off? Judges can do anything, right?

This should be reversed by the first sane court that hears the appeal— but in Cali, that may be a long wait.

I wonder if any local history teachers will rise to the occasion. Closing the ports to enforce the tea tax was one of the proximate causes of the American revolution.
