The economics behind NIMBYism in the Bay Area

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

It is quite funny that so much of the wealth created by the world's most technologically advanced companies ultimately flows into the pockets of Boomer Californians who happen to own Victorian and pre-war era housing stock

@CohenSite How would Steyer’s corporate tax plan capture value from LACC land value?

Wouldn’t we need a land value tax or reform prop 13?

[Jake @JSimenhoff]

@YIMBYLAND It’s an issue of allocation of public goods. It’s easier to restrict access than to build more access, especially in american cities built for the automobile

@CohenSite Would love to be an early reader

338 homes (including single family homes, apartment units, & plexes, but not ADUs) were permitted in the City of Los Angeles in January 2025

To meet our state housing goals, we're supposed to be permitting ~7,000 homes a month

In case you're wondering how far behind the USA is on infrastructure, France is building 120 miles of automated subway lines with 65 stations for $45 billion in 17 years.

@CohenSite Redwood is too expensive and protected

[Jake @JSimenhoff]

@SinaiLawFirm @Leeo2680 Also this already exists on small scale, for example in Carthay Square there are some historic duplex and quad plexes.

However, most of the city zoned this out of existence some time ago. Which is why 72% of land is SFR zoned in LA city.

[Jake @JSimenhoff]

@SinaiLawFirm @Leeo2680 I think this is the point. We can still have nice suburban neighborhoods with multimillion $ homes… but need to densify commercial centers tied to transit. In the LA context that means changing zoning in nice SFR neighborhoods, e.g. Westwood, Culver City, and Mid-Wilshire

@Molson_Hart They start dialogue on global issues and act as a PR firm basically

@StatisticUrban West Hollywood, California

@CohenSite What application is this?

LA needs to urbanize and densify! it's not only good for people but, good for the economy

[Jake @JSimenhoff]

@SinaiLawFirm Your critic on the frivolous spending is fair, but raising the professor’s salary to 200 k would allow him to rent an apartment. Which altho isn’t the american dream, it would make him a housed individual.

How do you think we can make owning a home or rent more affordable?
