No. A core YIMBY concept is that local government should promote housing opportunity and security for all the many who need it - not just protect and favor the interests of the few who are fortunate to currently have it. A winning strategy that will continue to flourish.

A core YIMBY concept is that local government should prioritize the interests (and demands) of people who don’t live there (but want to move there) over the interests of the existing residents That’s why it’s a bankrupt ideology

Two interesting things related to publishing this: 1) Payments for articles were bumped from $100 per article to $200 per article. 2) Authors are now welcome not just from the US but from anywhere Remote dot com allows me to pay.

Thanks @LATstevelopez for walking DTLA streets, highlighting what’s special, and talking about the path forward — the future of Downtown is residential. “After COVID, raids and other blows, DTLA is hurting. But ‘Mr. Downtown’ believes it will rise again” latimes.com/california/sto…

I made a thing: jessejenkins.github.io/heat-pump-map/ By which I mean I told Claude to make a thing. The economics of heat pumps are very challenging in a country that has cheap gas and where policy makers load retail electricity rates with a whole bunch of policy-related costs (rooftop solar cross-subsidies; 'decoupling' policies that raise volumetric rates to compensate utilities for implementing efficiency programs; public benefits charges, etc.) and price network services volumetrically. If folks want electrification, affordable electricity is essential, and we need rate reforms that more accurately price electricity's real cost.

Four of the top five metropolitan areas where families are stuck renting are in California—we've got to remove the additional hurdles facing homeownership projects and fix this.

The new "Red Tape Index" ranks US cities by how fast they approve permits. A few surprising results in here, but Ft. Worth, TX first and Cambridge, MA dead last are pretty much according to script. redtapeindex.com/cities

metro needs to run the B & D lines every 7 to 8 minutes all day so a train comes every 3.5 to 4 minutes in DTLA

When I buy a strip center, I’m disciplined. I don’t fall in love with price. I focus on fundamentals. Here’s what I look for: • No elbows. Clean visibility. Clean access. • Near a hospital or university. I want strong daytime population. • High household income. $100,000+ preferred. • Low supply. No excess land nearby. No 40 competing centers within a mile. • Great signage or the ability to renovate and create it. • Parallel to a high-traffic road. 4 of my 6 centers have 65,000 cars per day driving by. • As much parking as possible. Restaurants are the new anchors. Until cities update outdated parking formulas, we need spaces. I prefer employee parking in the rear so customers park up front. Retail is simple, but it’s not easy. Buy right. Manage aggressively. Create value.

This is why we only look at property in B+ areas now. In those areas you can find tenants with good credit and real financials. The leasing process is smoother, collections are more predictable, and you’re not constantly putting out fires. Our existing C area properties are a different story. You either cut the rent, give big concessions, or go through 10+ applications just to find someone who doesn’t have $5 in their account and past delinquencies in their credit. In D or lower areas, I honestly don’t know how people run a building unless it’s Section 8.

Average Joe can't find an apartment to rent in LA anymore because of these policies @nithyavraman and the DSA push. If it takes 12+ months and $50K+ (attorney's fees & lost rent) to get a unit back, fewer landlords are taking chances. You tighten screening to shrink the risk. That means higher credit, higher income, cleaner apps. Anyone even slightly marginal gets passed on. Very hard for regular working people to find a landlord willing to take a risk on them right now.

I bumped into my AP World History teacher last week and he told me the enrollment at the high school I attend dropped from 2.3k to 1.7k. This is absolutely terrible

The Los Angeles metro area has once again shrunk by more than any other large US metro, losing 62,454 people from 2024 to 2025. Since the 2020 Census, it’s down a total of 360,252 people. To compare: over the same 2020-2025 period, the NYC metro has grown by 29,048.
