LA City Council Seeks Incentives for Affordable Housing in High-Resource Areas
“About 76% of Los Angeles’ highest resource areas are zoned for single-family homes, while only 18% of the ‘high-segregation and poverty areas’ are zoned for single-family homes, according to City Planner Matt Glesne, who gave a presentation to the City Council on Aug. 17.
‘Affordable housing is a pressing concern, and it is essential that we have all options on the table to ensure it is available and equitably distributed across the city of Los Angeles,’ Harris-Dawson said on Aug. 31.
‘When we prioritize affordable housing and seek remedies through creative measures, we demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity and economic justice.'”
