Noticing a correlation where social democratic big city mayoral candidates who embrace land use reform, single stair reform and transit priority for buses tend to be popular…

Bill to spur new condos died at the last minute. Senator’s Limón and Umberg working their hardest to worsen the CA housing crisis. Thankfully Umberg is termed out, but the Senate needs a new leader who is pro housing. calmatters.org/housing/2026...

"Her platform focuses on technocratic solutions like the theoretically best possible zoning policies rather than building power for the working-class by challenging capital." Good thing LA's zoning status quo is not devastating the city's working class or anything.

If you want to know why it feels like there is no direction or vision in LA, this is why. The LA establishment is stuck 50 years in the past, serving people like the Sherman Oaks HOA who want all the opportunity of being a global city while pretending their neighborhood is a village.

I'm listening to Nithya Raman at the #CAInfillSummit in LA and she appears to know enough about the building plan check process in LA to know it doesn't work. This is something rare in a politician.

This is also true in building code reforms. Getting your city/state to allow 6-story single-stair bldgs is great on paper. But if its only possible with a 50%+ larger pressurized stairwell that likely no one will build, at that point are you really allowing single-stair buildings?

“Do Balrogs have wings” was such a maelstrom that the mods closed the chat in 1999, “can they speak” would have ignited the forum in indescribable ways

I'm actually astonished at how clean this graph looks as a diagnostic for our housing ills. Note how close it is to 1 at the start. Houses per single adult or married couple.
Houses per (population over 25 - married couples)

Subtracting married couples prevents them from being counted twice, since a married couple doesn't need 2 homes, but 2 single people (ideally) do.

It's insane how much historic preservation in LA has a single family bias. You'll have random nondescript homes with historic designation, and then this 1926 apartment building has never even been surveyed.

on a recent trip to Cincinnati I noticed this fine bldg in Covington: simple ground floor, two main façade planes w/ expressed piers, clean fenestration w/ simple sills, tripartite scheme w/ simple stringcoursing, & a grand but restrained cavetto cornice - would be cool if planners allowed this

These guidelines require three things that are completely backwards. 1. Concentrate variations in massing at the bottom and leave the top "subdued" to be less visible. 2. Combine changes in material/color/texture with big changes in geometry. 3. Make things dark to "disappear."
