L.A., San Francisco and other cities need massive private development to supply homes and reduce homelessness. That's why reforms like SB 9 fail.

that zoning restrictions have increased neighborhood housing prices by 29% to 38% in Chicago, 17% to 38% in San Francisco, and 32% to 46% across the United States.

That’s why more housing in richer neighborhoods would reduce Los Angeles’ economic inequities. Tracking anonymous data on 20 million Americans from childhood to their mid-30s, Harvard University scholar Raj Chetty and his collaborators found that where people grow up can have a significant impact on their economic outcomes.

The division of labor was central to the cost-saving assembly lines of Ford and Levitt because each worker focused on one task. But specialization requires scale, and homes today are produced mostly by tiny firms. California has

opinion Let's stop holding up cities like Houston & Atlanta as success stories. Sprawl is a cheap way to build, but only in the short term. Can we talk about cities that are doing a good job with affordability and density?

Rentcontrol is the answer,make less more affordable

We’re missing a good governor! We have the worst. GavinNewsom

In fact Bloomberg also lies about New York City versus Nassau. Nassau also has a higher percentage of folks that make over 200,000 than New York City even if it has less billionaires.

In fact Bloomberg likes to make LA believe its richer than Orange County only because it has a higher percentage of Billionaires but recent trends show LA growing slower in the luxury housing market than Orange or San Diego

In fact LA is doing worst in median incomes for those that make 200,000 and higher than Orange County or San Diego. The business world forces folks from Orange County to drive into work to LA but LA has about 5 percent of its 200,000 and higher lower than Orange County

1o1. What’s missing: Any incentive whatsoever to build. Between completely insane local and state regulation, rent control, eviction moratoriums, and the specter of no water, it’s a complete wonder anything got built in the last 20 years. Not rocket science, guys.

developing the economy around Los Angeles County like this is 1980 or something.

in cheaper places like Kern or Fresno County. In fact a study shows that Fresno County not Los Angeles County does the best for minimum wage since the housing is not as crazy as LA which is pushed all the time by the Times.

Huntington Park has about 8 people per one bedroon apartment. A lot of immigrants that can only do service jobs. This is the only reason California has a pushed for a fast food council to control things yet LA Times refuses to support the development of the economy in cheaper pl

In fact Los Angeles County has a lot of poor people and people without high school but the left keeps pushing for LA County. Think of the problems of places like Huntington Park who has a worst poverty issue than Appalachia when cost of living is factored in

Tech companies like Apple refuse to locate jobs in places like Maricopa and locate jobs in large metro areas past their prime like Los Angeles and New York City. People want to live Maricopa County not Los Angeles but the left wing tech people keep pushing LA

In fact Maricopia County in Arizona has grown 5 times more than LA County since 2,000

LA is not considered desirable. It has fallen even behind Orange County in the growth of its population. LA has been behind the national average for the past 30 years. In fact the Democrats opposed building the economy of the inland counties like Kern, Fresno, the inland empire.

Crime. Junkies and mentally ill on the streets, people fleeing the state - it’s pretty obvious to anyone who isn’t a Liberal propagandist why the housing market is seeing low demand

Water - water is what’s missing.

Opinion: Is losing population really such a bad thing for crowded California?California’s roads are clogged, and we lack sufficient water, housing, schools and more. Another dead-end degrowther. There isn’t a big city in America where the some of the landed gentry thinks the city is full and newcomers are “ruining” the vibe. Who does Greg think will staff the restaurants, health care facilities, public services etc? The wrong people are leaving. Sure, those that remain would like less crowds, but we lose massive revenue and with our bloated government, those that remain will need to be taxed to death. We have trillions of unfunded liabilities for pensions and will need billions more annually to keep our state running.
