On Saturday, Dick walks us through history from Nixon’s cuts to HUD, to the feds shifting of affordable housing duty to California, to the state “drop-kicking responsibility for providing low-cost housing” over to the cities when Gov. Brown pulled the plug on affordable housing.

Got it so far, from Nixon to Jerry to today?

Join us as Dick, a former L.A. City planner, describes the sea of “for rent” signs in L.A. today, and the massive new 1,964-page Housing Element plan jammed with trickle-down philosophy.

Q: Where did City of L.A. get its costly “housing investment regression model,” donated for free, that pushes hard for unaffordable trickle-down housing in every corner of L.A.?

A: From Terner Center, the tech-backed density advocates at Berkeley who so badly analyzed SB 9 that they should take some responsibility when SB 9 density sprouts up in fire hazard zones.

Terner severely downplayed SB 9. Now it’s giving L.A. a free model to justify overrunning neighborhoods with market-rate housing? Dick will explain why cities are in turmoil.

Folks, we operate on a shoestring against major powers so please donate here, and we appreciate it very much!

And check out our SB 9 fire zones slideshow here. Check any address in California to see if it’s in a fire hazard severity zone, and urge your city to wake up and set down rules!
