Angelenos are being priced out of the neighborhoods they love. Housing is too scarce, too expensive, and City Hall moves too slow. My plan cuts through the red tape to fast-track housing, lower costs, and make it possible for families to stay and thrive in LA.

@realsaadasad He has been commenting on Facebook posts like that for over 10 years.

LA is so wild, lol. This was a comment on an LA City Councilmember's post. I clicked his profile thinking he was a developer, but no, he's a famous celebrity hair colorist.

@neilblock Listen man, this is pretty stupid. I know you don't know me but you are trying to mansplain something that I know a lot more about than you do. Requiring commercial at this site would absolutely not make this project non-viable.

@neilblock Yet two other buildings on the same street were able to figure it out without a problem. I really don't care about developers maximizing their profits while destroying a block on a commercial street. SB-79 has changed the math so much that plenty of other Devs can make it work

SB 79 hasn't even taken effect yet. Wiener dedicated seven years to passing the largest upzoning in California history, fighting the biggest special interests in Sacramento, securing bipartisan support, scrutinizing the details, and passing it with a razor thin 51% margin.

@neilblock Nobody said anything about requiring a Walgreens in a building. You obvi are not from around here and have no concept about what kind of commercial is on what kind of street. But you are very confident.

@rocknsock4 @animalcircuits @mnolangray @hanlonbt How so? “Set aside 5,000 square feet for a mandate” doesn’t matter what the mandate is

@neilblock @animalcircuits @mnolangray @hanlonbt Because it is a magnitude of difference in cost.

@rocknsock4 @animalcircuits @mnolangray @hanlonbt How is “requiring commercial” not the same as “requiring IZ”?

@neilblock @animalcircuits @mnolangray @hanlonbt You are seeing bottom up developments because Safeway and Costco already own the land so they don't have any land development costs and a lot of the times the one story building already on the land is 40-50 years old and already outdated.

@rocknsock4 @animalcircuits @mnolangray @hanlonbt This is why you’re starting to see more bottom-up developments where Safeway and Costco are developing housing because they’re their own major chain tenant

@neilblock @animalcircuits @mnolangray @hanlonbt Please...... Restrictive zoning, inclusionary housing, permitting fees, and permitting delays is why he have a 40 year housing deficit. Requiring commercial on a commercial street is not one of them........

@rocknsock4 @animalcircuits @mnolangray @hanlonbt Making demands of a property owner that voluntarily wants to pay to build housing, such that the result is “waiting for a different project” is exactly why we’re in a 40 year housing deficit

@neilblock @animalcircuits @mnolangray @hanlonbt I'm good with requiring commercial on the main commercial streets of cities. If that is the breaking point it probably doesn't pencil at all and I would rather wait for a different project.

@rocknsock4 @animalcircuits @mnolangray @hanlonbt Requiring commercial would just make it not pencil, & not get built at all. We need to reduce the underlying costs and regs, so projects don’t have to be these massive institutional behemoths to get done. The more demands we make, the more expensive to build, bigger banks needed

@animalcircuits @mnolangray @hanlonbt I don't know. I'm actually pissed about that

@rocknsock4 @mnolangray @hanlonbt No commercial on mission a block from the train? I wonder why

@animalcircuits @mnolangray @hanlonbt That is about all I got. I know it is more stories and more units and they are proposing no commercial on the street which sucks.

@rocknsock4 @mnolangray @hanlonbt More info on this?

@mnolangray @hanlonbt South Pasadena currently has an approved but non-financially viable project on a parking lot next to the train station. Because of SB-79 it is currently in escrow and a bigger project is about to be submitted.

@DocPriyamMD I always have a vasovagal response from the food exiting so I have to give up Indian food.

• The main culprit is Capsaicin, the chemical that gives chilies their heat. But here is the secret: it doesn't actually burn your tissue. Instead, it binds to the TRPV1 receptors in your digestive tract, which are your body's dedicated pain and heat detectors. • Once capsaicin hits those receptors, your brain gets tricked. It thinks "We just swallowed a dangerous toxin!" or "The gut is literally on fire!" To protect itself, your GI tract hits the emergency eject button. • To flush this "toxin" out as fast as humanly possible, your intestines ramp up their movements (hypermotility). It pushes everything through at lightning speed, meaning your colon doesn't have the time to absorb water from the waste like it usually does. • Fast transit time + zero water absorption = liquid stools Follow @DocPriyamMD for more daily medical breakdowns and health literacy

My cousin asked: 'Doc, if diarrhea is caused by a virus or bacteria, how come eating really spicy food gives us loose stools?' I am surprised most people don’t know the actual mechanism behind this

Vote for Cynthia Raman on June 2nd!!

@NewsLambert @ResidentialClub @mnolangray FYI

🚨Build-to-Rent gets a clean exemption: House Republicans remove 7-year selloff rule from institutional homebuying ban House Republican leadership posted their amendment to the Senate-passed 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act on Wednesday night. resiclubanalytics.com/p/institutiona…

@hanlonbt @cayimby @aarmlovi @MarcDunkelman @ezraklein All 3 projects entitled by SoPas were entitled because of SB 130.

@aarmlovi @MarcDunkelman @ezraklein @cayimby I've heard that 9,000 units have already been entitled under last year's AB 130. Clean reforms work. Here's our original proposal that we pitched Asm. Wicks. I'm glad her team pushed for a 20 acre max size!

There's panic that CA's big but "dirty" housing bills failed & the big new clean ones like SB79 only just passed I love Derek & Ezra but look: We knew all AB2011's issues in 2023. A year of book tours can't magically fix AB2011 or SB9 CAYIMBY is doing all that, not the pundits

The @DTLA_RA has released its 2026 voter guide! We got replies from 41 candidates across 10 races on 10 Downtown issues. From Mayor, to Governor, to City Attorney & more. Super helpful reference compiled for the ease of Downtowners. Please share widely! …-primary-dtla-voter-guide.netlify.app

@DRand2024 I just watched the vote. Awesome.

@rocknsock4 The author seemed stunned at what happened.

The legislature was apparently listening ⤵️ AB2741 - which would have overturned the New Commune V Redondo decision - unceremoniously died in committee yesterday. Mid cycle Builder’s Remedy is back in vogue!
