A brief thread on single-family home zoning in Los Angeles. While reporting my story on Sacramento's move to eliminate such zoning, I recalled that LA Mayor Garcetti a couple years ago said he supported allowing triplexes in single-family neighborhoods https://twitter.com/dillonliam/status/1108490919349637120
Garcetti hasn't proposed a plan to do so, but I did get my hands on some data from a recently city-commissioned poll. More than half respondents said that it was an "extremely high" or "major priority" to allow fourplexes in single-family neighborhoods
And nearly two-thirds of LA city respondents used the same terms to support the building of apartment complexes and affordable housing near public transportation, jobs, parks and good schools.
LA is doing a broad assessment of its growth plans right now — and some more targeted blueprints for growth in individual neighborhoods — and it'll be interesting to see whether the city will actually aim for more growth in single-family neighborhoods/those that haven't had much
In the meantime, please read my story about how and why Sacramento is planning to end single-family home zoning citywide https://www.latimes.com/homeless-housing/story/2021-02-10/sacramento-ending-single-family-zoning
