Remove ego and blind-spots (bias). Our need to be right can be more important than our need to discover what is true. Stress test your beliefs and improve.

@BGOnTheScene And I have full confidence that he will leave the White House tomorrow. Glad everyone had a nice Saturday.

We're number one!!

@bobbyfijan I'll take one sir.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

No unions.

@nithyavraman Respectfully, Los Angeles does not need yet another office or division focused on tenant rights. They should have a safe place to live, but if you want real investment, and you want real progress, this is the worst idea.

We’ve already reduced rent increases and strengthened tenant protections. This issue is that they are not being enforced. As mayor, I will create a new Office of Tenant Protections to stop violations of existing renter’s rights.

Los Angeles’ housing crisis is self-inflicted.  For decades, city leaders have taken deliberate actions to limit new housing. Today, we announced our plan to fix this and triple housing production.

@nithyavraman Remove union and you're on to something.

We’ll update our citywide growth framework & end exclusionary zoning: - More density along corridors - Gentle density in single-family neighborhoods near transit (duplexes, townhomes, starter homes) - New high-rise zones for union-built housing + easy office conversions

@nithyavraman Why 60? There is no reason it can't be same-day. But you should shoot for 14 days.

We’ll create a 60-day shot-clock to approve zoning-compliant projects and approve discretionary housing projects in 120 days.

Pass. The stuff always sounds good to voters. "Tax the rich" "put American families first" "better paying jobs" "tenant rights" "healthcare for everyone" "make America great again" "rent control". But the details are either not economically sound, or they drive away revenue long-term, or they make the end result worse even if their intention isn't to, or there's no nuance at all - and it's just a simpleton bumper sticker slogan, because people are too intellectually lazy to read the specifics of what they're voting for. We need a sophisticated voter base. Away from party politics. Thanks for letting me hijack your comment ✅

You guys want to build in LA with this?

@shawngorham Try the Chinese my dude.

Many seem to think Mexican labor is cheap labor The Korean painters underbid the Mexican painters every single time

@GovPressOffice He isn't going to endorse you.

The man who actually got Iran to make a deal that kept Americans safe

Of course, because they're newly built. Many of the architects of these beautiful buildings in major cities are foreign. I know some of them personally. One interesting Chinese characteristic is to use LED lights in most of their high rises, bridges and anything that's going to be seen by the general public. This may seem less classy but the result at night can be nice. I can personally attest to the construction quality of these buildings on the interior as substandard. While the steel is welded properly, many of the finishing touches are visually appealing but missing a higher quality mortar, finish, second coat of paint, etc. Part of the reason for this is typically the interior lobby and hallways are subcontracted out to the lowest bidder whereas the general construction is a different unit. Labor is still very cost-effective, and there are not many safety standards let alone many that the construction teams will actually enforce. The speed of construction is also faster due to this. China has taken many good ideas from Korea and Japan as well. And well I would not call them a country that necessarily innovates on its own, it is very good at taking an idea and expanding upon it.

I know everyone says China just steals from The West but honestly when I look at Chinese cities and compare them to many of the major Western Hubs it kinda feels like if they did steal ideas from us... they did a better job with them.

@IvanJaros @TheProjectUnity This is the worst take I've heard in a long time. Everybody in China puts money above everything else.

Knock knock 🏗️

@JMGregorchuk This is art.

Today is a gorgeous day in California. I hope everybody takes a moment to appreciate the blessings you do have in your life. There's a lot of frustration, politics and endless challenges. Take a moment without your phone, and with your loved ones.

@acquisizioni Pretty close!

@Real__State 300!

Guess how many units and win a prize.

@JMGregorchuk @HenryForLA 💯

You're surprised because you dont understand the systems youre trying to fix. You want to make it easier for me to build and then send me into bankruptcy with your 6-9 month eviction process. You want to upzone the city and then make it impossible to redevelop due to tenant protections and forever leases. You claim you care for working people but the mom and pop landlords were absolutely destroyed by the eviction moratoriums your industry pushed for. You're industry is destroying housing via ULA on multiple fronts. Taxing development and then using those taxes to destroy the housing providers thru free attorneys who delay the eviction and hide records of non paying tenants. You claim to support renters, but your policies force landlords to have intense scrutiny before acccepting a tenant or else they'll end up meeting someone like you in court. Over and over your policies punish the people who solve the housing crisis. I hope you'll recognize this if you win.

Kind of wild that I’m running mostly on eliminating Single-Family Zoning and permitting reform, allowing for more home construction than anything the incumbent has ever even dared advocate for, and still get accused of “destroying the capital markets that enable home building.”

@JMGregorchuk Sure! You could build it and add brick veneer. But real brick? I'm not sure. Interesting question.

Can you build a brick home and meet CA energy requirements?

@hamptonism No thanks.

do everything in your power to move to this city.
