Was chatting with a colleague, something that struck us about both the Governor's order and now Mayor Bass's order to expedite re-building --
It's probably not going to work. People won't be able to just re-build their stick-built, 1940s bungalows. They'll still be uninsurable.

Have you seen this? The @SantaMonicaCity installing concrete separation barriers for protected bike lanes. They call it a “Concrete 3D Printer” but it’s actually old tech used for decades in building highways.
4-5 blocks of separation built in a day!

From this perspective, a simple duplex ordinance is not a modest land use reform, but a dagger aimed at the heart of what American zoning is and does. It's tantamount to abolishing zoning itself, since without the single-family district, zoning would have no clear purpose.

There's some speculation that a 60-day period would be required for launch, and if you're going to get this up and running before the inauguration, 60 days takes us to next Thursday (11/21). Tick tock, governor.

Transit stations increase nearby jobs and populations, but they could also contribute to displacement. @Shelterforce explores what we can do differently. shelterforce.org/2024/11/07/…

Great 🧵⤵️.
Highly recommend @Jeremy_Levine’s “Constructing Community” for insight into how NGOs and govt grants created the orgs that govt decision makers then (mis)perceive as authentic voice of lower income residents.

"Mayor Adams's landmark City of Yes rezoning plan will generate 50 percent fewer new units if the City Council modifies the plan to eliminate mandatory parking within half a mile of subway stations instead of everywhere citywide."

There is a reason a lot of us have been screaming from the rooftops for construction cost reform for a decade or longer now.
