Episode Details

LA’s city council just passed a new housing ordinance that could slow down the state’s push for denser living near transit stops, letting buildings max out at four stories instead of the five to nine allowed under SB 79. The move targets historically significant, fire-prone, or low-income areas, sparking debate over affordability, neighborhood character, and unintended consequences like fewer duplexes or triplexes. Homeowners fear losing their neighborhood’s vibe, while housing advocates push for affordable units and ground-level parking. The plan still needs final approval from the full council and the mayor, who’s already skeptical of state mandates.
