Why can't LA build more affordable housing? Well, you see, because a building located in an R5(CW) zone shall not cast a shadow on a lot located in the R4 or R5 zone for more than two hours each day between the hours of 9AM and 3PM on the Winter Solstice and 9AM and 5PM on the Summer Solstice.

A corrective comment from a zoning review for a 100% affordable housing project in Los Angeles that reads, "BUILDINGS OR STRUCTURES ON A LOT LOCATED WITHIN THE R5(CW) LAND USE CATEGORY SHALL NOT CAST SHADOWS ON A LOT LOCATED IN THE R3 OR R4 ZONE, OR THE R4(CW) OR RC4(CW) LAND USE CATEGORY FOR MORE THAN TWO (2) HOURS EACH DAY BETWEEN THE HOURS F 9 AM AND 3 PM ON THE WINTER SOLSTICE AND 9 AM AND 5 PM ON THE SUMMER SOLSTICE. THE PROJECT APPLICANT SHALL SUBMIT A SHADE.

I know America can build things quickly and efficiently because we do it for cars all the time. The slow, arduous permitting and construction processes we have for public transit, bike infrastructure, green energy, and housing are a policy choice that we are free to stop making whenever we want.

Within 7 years, ADUs are already at about a third the scale of owner-occupied condos nationally (1.6M vs. 5.4M). If we can make ADUs a real homeownership pathway, that's a meaningful chunk of new homeownership supply.

In a lot of ways, the environmentalism of my parents' generation didn't ask anyone to sacrifice anything. People still drove (but it was a Prius), lived in the burbs (but with a beautiful garden), bought supermarket food (but bought organic). It was an aesthetic choice as much as anything. 🧵

The purpose of American zoning is to put the most people—low- and middle-class families—in the worst locations so that the best locations, the quiet, elevated side streets, can be reserved for a small number of wealthier people. Everything else is just kind of window dressing.

The more I've learned about how US building codes work, the more scandalized I've become. It almost makes zoning look good! Our codes, which are owned by a private entity, are updated constantly, with almost no research or cost-benefit analysis... www.housingwire.com/articles/mod...

Building Code Reform Needs Longer Cycles and More Scrutiny

The author urges evidence and cost analysis for model code changes, plus longer timelines so cities can evaluate how provisions work in practice.

I haven't seen any other data on how many aircraft are affected by U.S. military exercises involving GPS interference, but here's my attempt to analyze a 13-day exercise at WSMR in May. 4000 civilian aircraft with major GPS jamming: 90% were commercial jets. 30% were *outside* posted NOTAM hours.
