Unfunded inclusionary zoning—requiring homebuilders to rent some of their new units at a loss to low-income tenants as a condition of approval—is a tax on new housing construction that worsens the housing shortage. It's bad policy that drives up rents and worsens unaffordability.

Something about LA just doesn't add up. Cost to do curb ramps per corner: Beverly Hills - $10,000 Caltrans - $15,000 City of LA - $50,000+ Why does basic infrastructure cost so much more in LA compared to surrounding cities or even our state transportation agency!?

Austin built 120,000 homes in a decade, rents dropped 6%, more than any other large US city.

LA's proposed SB 79 standards have dropped... For 1/2 mile from a T2 transit stop, they allow 10 units with 2 FAR, with max height of 2 stories. It's physically impossible to fit 2 FAR in 2 stories. In fact, with setbacks, it's impossible to fit 2 FAR in 3 stories!

The "missing middle" — duplexes, fourplexes, townhomes — once formed the backbone of American neighborhoods. Yet now, anything above a duplex triggers commercial building codes, raising costs and blocking missing-middle housing.

With median home prices at $810,000, Escondido officials are exploring “missing middle” housing—duplexes, fourplexes and townhomes as one way to restore housing mobility and create more attainable paths to homeownership. ⬇️

There are 9,905 homeless people in San Diego, 35,000 severely overcrowded households, and likely tens of thousands of people stuck living with parents or roommates because they can’t afford rent on their own. The housing shortage is real. The only solution is to build more homes.
NotoriousAirbnb@NotoriousAirbnb

There is no "shortage" of housing in San Diego right now. It's just all overpriced inventory as a result of subsidized, speculative demand pulled forward...& Airbnb.

"We build our American cities around fire trucks… …We should design our cities, then make the fire trucks fit." In America, we have the largest fire trucks in the world— and they’re quietly shaping how our cities look, feel, and function. In this clip with @AustinTunnell , we break down how one overlooked policy is leading to worse urban design.

📌 Part 3 of my ongoing "Homes for All of Us" series: History of single-family zoning in San Diego. This one traces how San Diego’s land-use map locked in exclusion, concentrated burden, and limited access to opportunity.

Wesley Morgan@WesSDCali

80% of San Diego's residential land is reserved for single-family homes. Young families and working San Diegans are being locked out of our highest resource and coastal neighborhoods. The City has a plan to change that. I'm going to cover all of it.🧵 Follow along.

@DKThomp @hanlonbt San Diego is building more homes. Local reforms like permit expediting, ministerial review, and code updates have increased production and lowered costs for residents. Here’s to more cities following our lead. realtor.com/advice/buy/san…

Very important question: If YIMBY/Abundance is winning in California, why isn't the state building more homes? Brian Hanlon (@hanlonbt): "The main reasons we don’t have housing come down to three basic things." - First, zoning. It’s illegal to build dense housing even when there’s demand. - Second, streamlining and permits. Even if the housing is legal to build, getting approval can be time-consuming, uncertain, and expensive. - Third, costs: not just higher labor costs, but also govt-imposed costs, like inclusionary zoning and parks fees I would add: The most recent YIMBY wins have coincided with a high interest rate environment and a Trump immigration policy that especially affects places like CA that rely on foreign-born workers. That said, interest rates are national and CA's building crisis is special. asteriskmag.substack.com/p/if-yimby-is-…

A UCLA parcel analysis found allowing fourplexes statewide could yield 1.2 million new homes — with the biggest gains in coastal markets, where homes would more than double. ADU reforms add another 1.5 million potential homes. cayimby.org/blog/the-math-…

OPINION: Paris, though about the same size as San Francisco, manages to house more than double the number of residents. It does so with one building type — six stories, no notes. sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…

A UCLA researcher found U.S. building codes lack cost-benefit analysis and accumulate rules without removing them. The result: mid-rise buildings cost 55% more per square foot than single-family homes — a gap other wealthy countries don't see. cayimby.org/blog/shining-a…

@ladailynews I have a client with 12 empty lots, each of which could handle 3-4 homes. But the City of LA wants to charge him a $450,000 "Homeless Linkage Fee" in addition to all the other impact fees. Needless to say the project doesn't pencil out so he's not building. Certainly ironic.
