This project gets a lot of flack from traditionalist but I feel like it complements the existing structure well without detracting.

I am an "all of the above" housing guy at this point. But it needs to be said:
No one builds "affordable cars". Used cars are just new cars that got old. Same goes for housing.
We don't have affordable housing today, because we didn't build market rate housing yesterday.
We’re working to solve California’s housing crisis.
It was a pleasure to join Assemblymember @BuffyWicks, labor, local elected officials, and community members who are turning this site in El Cerrito into housing: public land next to a BART station, a 100% affordable building, homes built in a factory, and union labor on the job. It’s the first phase of a plan to turn BART parking lots into 743 homes.
This is what building housing the right way looks like. Every Californian deserves a home they can afford, close to where they work.

Brooklyn brownstones prove that repetitive, developer-built 'cookie-cutter' housing can actually create some of the most beautiful and walkable neighborhoods in the world.

Many Americans don't want affordable housing
They want utopian housing
They want it to be single family, in the nicest most desirable neighborhoods and spacious or larger and beautiful and charming and also cheap
They talk about beautiful European apartments but then you see Americans visiting Europe and complaining about how many stairs (no elevator) or no AC or no storage or there is only 1 bathroom etc in a lot of city center apartments
Where do you put all this new utopian housing in the most desirable neighborhoods that are already built out?

That’s a first down. A bad call by @NFLOfficiating yet again and the @Seahawks get screwed

Super bizarre clip.
He starts by saying that young people can't find/afford housing in LA, then says that LA really hasn't built anything for the last 30 years (true!)
But then he closes by saying it's wrong for the state to force LA to build more housing! 🥴
Angelenos shouldn’t have to leave the city they call home just to afford a home.
We need more housing, and we need residents to have a voice in where and how it’s built. That means thoughtful planning, addressing affordability, and listening to the neighborhoods these decisions affect.
Building LA’s future starts with listening to the people who live here.
