Say a prayer for my son. His name is Colton. He’s 8 and loves the Lord. He is gonna be in the hospital overnight. I’m a believer in the power of collective prayer and I come with this request in humility as a father.

Registering your car every 2-3 years is a scam. If I didn't sell it, why does it matter?

How am I supposed to know? I'm not a psychologist. What I DO KNOW is that people are not on the streets because there aren't enough homes. The vast majority are on the street because they're anti-social and are unemployable. And if you don't have a job, you can't afford a home. So let's stop the bullshit (there's not enough homes) and be honest about the real reason for the problem.

@Ferinio21 @TorreySmithWR Look, I'm about as anti-tax as the they come. But taxes from my car are pennies.....so I don't understand why people are directing their complaint towards cars. The big tax is on income....that's what people should be shouting about

@youtwitface @TorreySmithWR Half my paycheck goes to taxes, then I get taxed on everything I buy, then I get taxed on my property, taxed on my investments, taxed on my bonuses, but we won’t have enough to build roads if I don’t pay a yearly fee on top of my car? (Which I was taxed to purchase)

@Indiecom2 @NickZurawski C'mon, you're just banging your spoon on your high chair now. What's your point lol? It seems like your stating that upzoned land results in higher unit costs and non-upzoned land results in lower unit costs. Is that really your argument?

@youtwitface @NickZurawski 1) Ah yes, the classic “land costs don’t matter” take, straight out of the economic fairy tale playbook. Yes, unit prices are influenced by the broader market, but the moment you upzone, the land itself is now a luxury product.

How can upzoning increase prices for 850 units that don’t exist without the upzoning?
Indiecom@Indiecom2

@BetterBlocksNJ @NickZurawski 1,000-unit bldg w/ 15% affordable = 850 expensive. Calling it a solution misleads. To be clear: the city may be progressive, YIMBY ideology isn’t, it prioritizes market expansion over affordability. Upzoning increases land value & pushes prices UP on the 850 units, not down.

I could argue (depending on views and market) that the unit pricing in a 5 story building will be greater than the unit pricing in a 50 story building. After all, most people prefer to live in less dense buildings...not 50 story ant hills. Other things being equal (fit and finish and location) most people will pay more for a unit in a less dense building.

Dude, I'm not following your argument at all. Yes, I agree.....upzoning land from (let's say) a surface level parking lot to a 50 story resi building will substantially increase the value of the land And yes, I agree....that if the upzone was reduced to only 5 stories, it would reduce the value of the land. But by reducing the value of the land doesn't necessarily reduce unit pricing. Unit pricing will be determined by the surrounding resi market.....not on the cost of the land.

Builder here. This is one of the most misunderstood elements of BMRs. The 15% affordable does not increase the price of the market rate units. Builders don't set their price based on costs; they set their price based on comps and what the market will support. Who really pays for the 15% affordable is the land seller selling to the developer. All developers offering on the land will build in the affordable units as a cost of the project and lower their land price accordingly. If the city increased the affordable requirement to 30%, developers would have to further reduce their offer price on the land. If the city decreased the affordable requirement to 0%, the offer prices would increase.

@LA_Multi_Fam @nithyavraman This is what progressives don't understand. You can either maintain current tenant protections or build 1000s of new apartment units....you can't have both

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.
BarryRoland19@BarryRoland19

Before the eviction moratorium and massive government funding into “tenant advocacy” groups and stricter limits on security deposits, I housed: 1. People who were literally homeless the day before I accepted them 2. People with no verifiable income, just their word, because they seemed honest and hardworking 3. Families with no credit, who owned their own business and could prove income I dumped a sizable % of net worth into these neglected areas. And I was happy to take a chance on people. Since then, absolutely fuck no to rolling the dice on a tenant. And other than detached ADUs, I haven’t put a dollar more into these areas. Had 6 months of vacancy on a unit recently because I refused to budge an inch. Who are these policies *really* helping?

LA builder here. I'm all for relaxing zoning rules....But I'm also for understanding the real reasons why residential doesn't get built in LA. LA has 100 self-inflicted impediments to housing right now. If we want to set LA up to grow in the future, we need to triage/address/solve the most important issues that slow construction. You can't solve all the problems....you got to start with the most important ones and work your way down. Building height doesn't even crack the top 50.

@youtwitface @atnissly The best way to find out if that’s true is to relax the rules. But even *if* few of them pencil right now (not an expert on LA sales prices and costs), this is still valuable: Changing zoning takes years, and this sets LA up to grow when demand goes up or permitting improves.

LA City Council just delayed SB 79, the state law that would've allowed 9-story buildings near transit. Instead we're getting 4-story max in 55 zones. We have the lowest construction starts in 13 years and local govt is actively working to contain it further.

@HistoryBoomer It's idea that corporations owning apartment units are good while corporations building and owning detached units are bad is preposterous

I'm pretty sure no corporations will be living in those houses. Getting in the way of building more houses seems quite bad. Warren has long been a disappointment.
