HOUSING FINANCING OF FOUR
BILLION DOLLARS HOUSING BOND

FOR HOUSING FOR HOMELESS
MENTALLY ILL -- THIS MONDAY
IN ADDITION TO CENTER ATKINS
-- SB TWO THAT WE PASSED
-- LAST YEAR AS WELL AS
-- FUNDS THAT WE ALLOCATED IN
THIS YEAR'S BUDGET IF YOU
ADD IT ALL UP OR THE NEXT
-- FEW YEARS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IS GOING TO PUT ABOUT
TEN BILLION DOLLARS DIRECTLY AND
TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING STILL
CALIFORNIA IN THE PAST IS NOT
-- HAD THAT KIND OF INVESTMENT
AND WE HAVE CHANGED OUR OUR
PARADIGM IN TERMS OF HOUSING
INVESTING AND LOOKING AT --
HOW WE WANT TO APPROVE OF --
AND GET OF MORE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING BUILDING OUR STATE
OF CALIFORNIA THE NEED IS
DRAMATIC WE HAVE A NEED IN
CALIFORNIA -- WE HEARD AT OUR
LAST HEARING OF ONE POINT EIGHT
BILLION MILLION HOUSING UNITS
WE ARE SHORT OF WHICH ONE
POINT FIVE OR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
UNITS SO WE HAVE A DEFICIT
IN CALIFORNIA AT THIS PRESENT
TIME THAT WE NEED TO CATCH UP
WITH IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A
DEFICIT WE SHOULD HAVE A
-- -- AN EFFORT A COORDINATED
EFFORT WITH OUR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO DEVELOP
THESE HOUSING UNITS AND MAKE
UP THE DEFICIT A LOT OF THE
DEFICIT -- GOES WAY BACK DECADES
IN TERMS OF -- OF
VARIOUS REASONS WHY WE
HAVE GOT TO PLACE WE ARE TODAY
SO WE NEED TO DISCOVER SOLUTIONS
AND WE ARE LOOKING TODAY
ARE HEARING TO -- ENGENDERS
SOLUTIONS FOLLOWING UP WITH THE
GREAT -- VICTORIES WE HAD AN
ELECTION THIS THE LAST FEW
WEEKS AND MAKE SURE THAT
WE ARE GOING TO RESPOND TO THE
VOTERS THAT PRETTY MUCH DIRECTED
US TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SO -- SAM REQUIRE AND I HAVE
BEEN WORKING -- IN A CONCEPT
WAY -- AND TALKING ABOUT
ALL AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND AND
-- LAND USE AND REESTABLISHING
SOME RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THE STATE AND OUR COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS OF
FOR THE GOAL OF PROVIDING
-- MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
LEADER PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL
GOVERNMENT IT WAS SEVERED
WHEN -- THE STATE -- REMOVED
THE REDEVELOPMENT FUNDS ARE
IT DURING THE BUDGET CRISIS
WE HAD A HORRIBLE BUDGET
CRISIS IN THOSE FUNDS WERE
REMOVED -- WE ARE GOING TO
TRY TO RE ESTABLISH SOME
KIND OF CONNECTION WITH LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE
GOVERNMENT ON AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND WE ALSO WANT TO
ENCOURAGE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
CALIFORNIA HAS THE LOWEST --
LE OF LOW -- HIGHEST POVERTY
RATE IN THE UNITED STATES
CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO -- BUILD
MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BECAUSE
OF OUR POVERTY RATE BUT WE
ALSO NEED TO EMPLOY MORE
PEOPLE BECAUSE OF OUR POVERTY
RATE -- WE FEEL THAT HOUSING
-- AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAM THAT ADDRESSES POVERTY
IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE KEY
ELEMENTS OF -- THE STRATEGY
OF PROVIDING MORE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING TODAY WE'RE GOING
TO HEAR ABOUT HOW TO REMOVE
BARRIERS FOR BUILDING -- HOUSING
IN CALIFORNIA WHETHER IT'S
AFFORDABLE OR MARKET RATE AND
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE
HOW WE CAN BE MORE EFFECTIVE
AND -- DO A BETTER JOB IN TERMS
OF STREAMLINING AND APPROVING
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS IS SO
SO WITHOUT MISTER CHAIRMAN
I THINK THAT'S OUR OUR GOAL
WE'RE GONNA ACTIVELY PURSUE
LEGISLATION IN THIS AREA AND
-- WE'RE SEEKING INPUT FROM THE
PUBLIC AND EXPERTS AT THESE
HEARINGS -- WE HAVE TO PROVIDE
MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
CALIFORNIA AND THANK YOU MISTER
THANK YOU SO MUCH MISTER CHAIR

CENTER BRADFORD THEY'D LIKE TO
BE ABLE TO OFFER ANY OPENING
COMMENTS IN WILL TURN IT BACK
OVER DETERMINE BELL GO INTO THIS
OUR FIRST PANEL ATHLETES IN A
LOT LIKE YOU VERY MUCH FUTURE
IN THE FUTURE APPRECIATE THE
ABILITY TO BE WITH YOU TODAY
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE
ALSO HAVE A GOOD REPRESENTATION
FROM THE FREE MARKET PLACE AT
THE PRIVATE SECTOR AS AN
INCENTIVE TO BE INVOLVED IN
PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING --
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET
A GOOD PERSPECTIVE FROM THAT
SIDE OF THE TABLE OCCURS WE WE
WE'RE NOT GONNA DO IT YOU KNOW
JUST WITH GOVERNMENT FUNDING
WE NEED TO DO MORE WE NEED TO
ENCOURAGE THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO
STEP UP AND AND WE CAN ALWAYS
RELY ON A RECESSION TO CREATE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING -- WE'VE
GOT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE MORE
SUPPLY AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO
INCENTIVIZE OUR DEVELOPERS ARE
BUILDERS ARE PRIVATE SECTOR TO
MEET THE NEEDS TOP I'M LOOKING
FORWARD TO THAT IS BEING PART
OF THE DEBATE ON OUR PANEL
WORKING OF IDEAS SO THANK YOU
FOR ALLOWING ME TO DISOBEY MY
CENTER CENTER RECORD GOING TO
GOOD MORNING THANK YOU SECURE
FULL FEATURED FOR INVITING ME
TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS IMPORTANT
DISCUSSION AS WE TALK ABOUT
HOUSING AND IT ONE OF THE ISSUES
OF GREAT CONCERN IS RESHAPING
AND -- REMOVING THE STIGMA OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING MANY TIMES
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS PERCEIVED
AS LOW INCOME OR MINORITIES
OR IN BAD AREAS BUT IF YOU
MAKE A HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS YOU NEEDS AND
WORKINGS SAN FRANCISCO YOU NEED
SOME FOR OUR FORM OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING YOU CAN AFFORD TO LIVE
THERE AND IF I WERE TO BUY THE
HOUSE OR TRY TO BUY THE HOUSE
WHERE I LIVE TODAY ON MY SALARY
I COULDN'T AFFORD IT SO WE ALL
IN SOME ASPECTS NEED SOME ARE
A FORM OF PORTABLE HOUSING OR
BELOW MARKET RATE HOUSING AND
AS SENATOR BELL STATED PART
OF THIS PROBLEM WAS CREATED BY
THE LEGISLATURE IN TWO THOUSAND
ELEVEN WHEN WE ELIMINATED
REDEVELOPMENT I'LL WE REMOVE
OR I REMOVE THOSE INCENTIVES
TO HELP DEVELOPERS WRITE DOWN
DIRT SO THEY COULD -- AFFORD
TO BILL BELOW MARKET RATE
HOUSING AND -- AND AND SO THOSE
ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES AS
WELL AS INCLUSIONARY OZ OWNS
AND OUR HOUSING ON DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS TO INCENTIVIZE THOSE
DEVELOPERS TO PUT SOME -- --
-- HOUSING -- ELEMENTS IN THERE
THAT ALLOW THEM IF YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE A DENSITY BONUS IF
YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD A HUNDRED
UNITS WELL LET'S GIVE THEM
BONUS ALLOW ME TO BUILD HIM
MORE THAT'S GOING TO BE BELOW
MARKET RATE SO I'M INTERESTED
IN DISCUSSION TODAY AND HOW WE
MOVE FORWARD IN ADDRESSING OFF
A A REAL CRISIS HERE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY REMOVING THE STIGMA
BECAUSE AGAIN IT'S PEOPLE MAKE
A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
STILL CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE
HERE IN CALIFORNIA SO IT'S A
RECORD AND I THINK FOR HOSTING
US IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS
AS WELL OR VERY VERY GRATEFUL
SIR THINK IT'S GOOD TO SEE I
WANNA DISAPPEAR TOUCH SOMEWHERE
CENTER MORLOCK AT WAS FOCUSING
ON IN REGARDS TO THE PRIVATE
SECTOR WE THINK HE'S ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT WE HAD CALIFORNIA BUILDING
INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION HERE
OCTOBER HEARING AND THEN WE ALSO
ARE VERY GRATEFUL THAT THE LA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE YOU HERE

MEETINGS IN EVERY CORNER OF THE
STATE TALKING WITH FOLKS AND
RURAL CALIFORNIA AND CALIFORNIA
HEARING URBAN COMMUNITIES ABOUT
THEIR NEEDS WHEN IT COMES TO
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IT IS NOT
GONNA BE A ONE SIZE FITS ALL
APPROACH BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS
NO MATTER IF YOU ARE A COMMUNITY
AT TEN MILLION OR THIRTY SIX
THOUSAND LIKE THE CITY OF EUREKA
IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY WE ALL HAVE
TO STEP UP DO OUR SHARE WHEN
IT COMES AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR
WORKING FAMILIES AND SENIORS IN
THIS GREAT STATE ON THEIR TURN

THANK YOU -- TEARS BELLA MCGUIRE
AND AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE LOS
ANGELES -- WHERE WE'RE THRILLED
TO HAVE YOU HERE AND ALSO YOU
YOU STARTED THIS WITH SOME VERY
IMPORTANT -- COMMENTS ABOUT
FIRES THAT RECENTLY OCCURRED
WHICH REALLY REPRESENT SOME OF
OUR CHALLENGES OF CLIMATE CHANGE
WHICH IS A VERY -- CRUCIAL
ISSUE FOR ALL OF US AS WELL AS
THAT ISSUE SOME OF THE ISSUES
OF EQUITY THAT THAT WE FACE IN
CALIFORNIA AND THAT WE REALLY
NEED TO ADDRESS ISSUES OF EQUITY
-- OUR OUR MAYOR MAYOR ERIC
GARCETTI HAS MADE THE GOAL OF
INCREASING HOUSING PRODUCTION
OF ONE OF HIS KEY PRIORITY
SINCE COMING INTO OFFICE SO WHEN
HE CAME INTO OFFICE IN TWENTY
THIRTEEN HE SET A GOAL OVER THE
NEXT EIGHT YEARS TO PRODUCE TO
ACTUALLY ISSUE PERMITS FOR OVER
A HUNDRED THOUSAND -- DRAWING
UNITS WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME
-- THAT THAT NUMBER ACTUALLY
FAR EXCEEDS OUR A REQUIREMENT
UNDER THE REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS
ASSESSMENT OF REQUIREMENTS OF
THE STATE WERE ACTUALLY HAPPY
TO REPORT THAT WERE ACTUALLY ON
TRACK TO NOT JUST MEET THAT GOAL
TO ME THAT EARLY -- IN PRODUCING
HOUSING UNITS IN FACT THIS LAST
FISCAL YEAR WE ACTUALLY ISSUED
PERMITS OVER THE LAST FISCAL
YEAR FOR TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND
NEW HOUSING UNITS SO WE'VE BEEN
WE'VE WE FEEL THAT THAT WE'VE
BEEN RISING TO THAT CHALLENGE
AND AND WE WE WE YOU KNOW WE
GOT INTO THIS SITUATION BECAUSE
AS YOU OF ALL MENTIONED JUST THE
HISTORICAL DEFICIT OF BUILDING
HOUSING OVER TIME AND IF YOU
LOOK AT THE LAY OF THE LAND
HERE AND LOOKING AT WHERE WE ARE
IN TERMS OF ISSUES OF CLIMATE
CHANGE IN EQUITY WE HAVE TO
LOOK AT THROUGH THIS LENS OF HOW
CAN WE DO IT DIFFERENTLY NOW LA
WE'RE WE'RE UNDERGOING A HUGE
-- EXPANSION OF OUR RAIL NETWORK
-- THANKS TO TO PROPOSITIONS
FROM THE THAT THE VOTERS OF LOS
ANGELES COUNTY VOTED IN WHICH
INCLUDES ABOUT A HUNDRED TWENTY
BILLION DOLLARS IN OVERALL
INVESTMENT SPECIFICALLY FORTY
TWO BILLION DOLLARS IN NEW
RAIL IN THE COUNTY AND THIS
REALLY GIVES US A HISTORIC
OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT HOW WE
DO DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY AND
THE COUNTY DIFFERENTLY WE BEEN
TARGETING OUR -- THROUGH OUR
COMMUNITY PLAN PROCESS WAYS AND
WAYS TO REALLY FOCUS
OUR NEW GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
HOUSING NEAR OUR BOTH OUR
EXISTING AND FUTURE TRANSIT --
STATIONS AND WE'VE BEEN REALLY
SUCCESSFUL THE LAST FEW FOR
COUPLE YEARS WE'VE ACTUALLY
INCREASED CAPACITY FOR PLANS OF
OVER FIFTY SEVEN THOUSAND UNITS
-- RECENTLY AROUND BOTH ARE HAVE
YOU ALLEN ARE LIGHT RAIL LINES
AND WE'VE DONE THAT REALLY IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH LA METRO --
ARE COUNTY WIDE AGENCY THAT THE
TRACK THAT HELPS US PLANT THAT
PLANS OPERATES THE RL NETWORK
-- WHAT'S WHAT'S ONE OF THAT
LA METRO IS TAKING APPROACH
AT THE NOT JUST PLANNING RAIL
LINES ARE PLENTY COMMUNITIES
TO SO WE'VE BEEN REALLY IN PART
WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM
NOW IN THIS BACKDROP OF WE'RE
WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN
TERMS OF OUR NEW RAIL NETWORK
IN OUR NEW TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE TWO YEARS AGO --
THE VOTERS IN THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES OVERWHELMINGLY APPROVED
-- MEASURE JJJ ONE THAT DID
IT DID TO THE END TO MAJOR
CHANGES IN TERMS OF HOW WE WILL
PROVIDE FOR HOUSING THE CITY ONE
OF THEM IS THAT ANY DEVELOPER
THAT WAS COMING IN ASKING FOR
-- CHANGES IN ZONING IN ESSENCE
UPS OWNING OR THE IN THE GENERAL
PLAN TO THE ZONING HAD TO MEET
NEW LABOR REQUIREMENTS AND A
FORMAL HOUSING REQUIREMENTS BUT
ANOTHER ASPECT OF THAT A SECOND
ASPECT WAS SOMETHING CALLED
TRANSIT ORIENTED COMMUNITIES
INCENTIVES WHICH MANDATED US
TO COME UP WITH INCENTIVES
TO REALLY TO REALLY -- AROUND
TRANSIT TO REALLY INCREASE THE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR HOUSING AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IT GAVE US A
BASE IN AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT
IT IT'S IS THAT THE TRAINS
ARE YOU COMMUNITIES OR TOC
FOR SHORT THE TOC INCENTIVES
REALLY ARE SOMETHING LIKE MORE
OF A SUPERSIZED AND SEE BONUS
PROGRAM SO -- IT GAVE US THE
MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF THIRTY
FIVE PERCENT IN TERMS OF DENSITY
INCREASES WE NEED TO DO BUT IT
DIDN'T GIVE US A CAP IN TERMS
OF A MAXIMUM AND IT WANTED US
TO LOOK AT AT WITHIN -- METRO
TRANSIT STATIONS AS WELL AS AS
-- METRO RAIL STATIONS AS WELL
AS HIGH FREQUENCY BUS STATIONS
-- SO WHAT WE DID IS IN LOS
ANGELES AS WE TOOK A LOOK THAT
PROGRAM THROUGH THE THROUGH
THE TRANSOM ORG COMMUNITIES --
GUIDELINES AND REALLY CUSTOMIZE
THAT TO THE UNIQUE NATURE OF
LOS ANGELES SO WHAT WE DID IS
WE LOOKED AT WE DIDN'T WANT TO
TREAT A A SUBWAY STATION IN
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES THE SAME
WAY AS THAT'S A HIGH FREQUENCY
BUS LINE IN THE SAN FERNANDO
VALLEY TO TWO VERY DIFFERENT
THINGS SO WE CREATED A TIER
BASED SYSTEM AND WE CREATED
FOR IN ESSENCE FOR TEARS AND
THOSE TEARS GO FROM LOWER
LOWER INTENSITY DEVELOPMENT
AS WELL AS CENTERS TO HIRE
-- SO THE HIGHEST INTENSITIES
WAS THE IT WAS THERE THE SUBWAY
LINE TO THE METRO LINES THE
LOWER ONES WAS FOR TWO BUS
LINES WE CREATED THIS AND AT
A DISTANCE FROM THOSE AREAS SO
WE REALLY CREATED OF INCENTIVE
SYSTEM THAT WAS -- UNIQUE TO
THE LEVEL OF SERVICE OF TRANSIT
THAT WE HAD IN ADDITION WHAT
WE WANTED TO DO IS CREATE A
BALANCED APPROACH SO THAT WE
CREATED THE DENSITIES THAT WERE
MORE MATCHING -- THE CHARACTER
OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE IN
ESSENCE THE FIBER OF THAT THE
DNA OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT
WERE AROUND THEM -- WE TOOK
LESSONS FROM OUR DENSITY BONUS
PROGRAM AND WE LOOKED AT AREAS
WHERE WE WE FELT THAT WE COULD
PEOPLE AND HAD BOLD INCENTIVES
IN SOME AREAS AND THEN WE
LOOKED IN OTHER AREAS WHERE WE
NEED TO MAYBE NOT BE QUITE AS
BALD AND TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT
THOSE AREAS THAT HAD -- THAT
WERE VERY PARTICULARLY I'M HOT
BUTTON ISSUES WITH THE DIFFERENT
NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITIES
FOR EXAMPLE -- WE ALLOWED
FOR LESS MORE VARIATION
AND AND FLEXIBLE INTENSITY AND
LESS ON SOME OF OUR FRONT YARD
SETBACKS I'M ANOTHER THING THAT
WE DID WITH AND IT IS REMEMBER
WE ARE CREATING COMMUNITIES
AND COMMITTEES THAT WE WANT
TO HAVE LASTING VALUE AND THIS
IS ABOUT PEOPLE AND PLACES WE
WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE ALLOW FOR
DESIGN REVIEW BECAUSE IT'S NOT
JUST THAT WE'RE BUILDING MORE
HOUSING BUT THE WITH THE QUALITY
OF THE PLACE MATTERS BECAUSE
AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE WITH FOR
THE NEXT FIFTY A HUNDRED YEARS
WE WANTED TO CREATE A LASTING
VALUE IN THE COMMUNITIES SO WE
-- WE WE ALSO SO WE TOOK THE
PROGRAM WE ALLOWED FOR MULTIPLE
TEARS WE NEARED THE STRUCTURE OF
THAT -- OF THE DENSELY PROGRAM
DENSITY BONUS PROGRAM WHICH IS
NOT USE THAT STERLING SINGLE
FAMILY AND AND DUPLEX AND SO
WAS ACTUALLY APPLIED TO --
SO THAT THAT ARE DOES NAY FOR
FIVE OR MORE UNITS AND YOU KNOW
LA IS DIFFERENT THAN PLACES LIKE
SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND YOU
KNOW WE THINK OF IN SOME AREAS
-- SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS
MAY BE THE MOST EXCLUSIVE PLACES
IN THE CITY AND LA WE HAVE
-- HUGE FOR WRITING OR SINGLE
FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS SUMMER
SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS ARE
MULTI GENERATIONAL COMMITTEES
A COLOR THAT AND LONG LASTING
IN TERMS OF THEIR VALUE AND WE
DON'T WANT TO DISPLACE A LOT
OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS SOME OF
OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE A HIGH
OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES HAVE A
HIGHER DEGREE OF OF FOLKS ARE
RECENT IMMIGRANTS OR HAVE --
I HAVE OF OUR MORE ECONOMICALLY
CHALLENGED AREAS WE WANTED TO
LOOK AT THE MALL WERE UNIQUELY
I'M A ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID
IS WE TARGETED EXTREMELY LOW
INCOME -- CATEGORY FOR THERE
WAS A NEW CATEGORY CREATED AND
THAT'S A CATEGORY WHICH IS --
WHICH MAKES OF ABOUT TWENTY
PERCENT OF OUR THE LA MARKET AND
IT'S -- IT'S FOR HOUSEHOLDS THAT
ARE THIRTY PERCENT OF THE AREA
MEAN INCOME -- WHICH IS
ABOUT TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
A YEAR FOR A SINGLE PERSON OR
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR
FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR AND THOSE
ARE THE FOLKS THAT ARE MOST
SUSCEPTIBLE AT RISK OF BEING
HOMELESS WE REALLY WANTED TO
TARGET THAT I'M AS SOMETHING
VERY IMPORTANT BUT AND WE'RE
ALSO MINDFUL OF CONSTRUCTION
COSTS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO
DO IS MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
STILL BUILDING AS WE BUILD
MORE MORE THAT WE BUILD WOOD
FRAME CONSTRUCTION WHICH IS
IT'S ACTUALLY A LESS EXPENSIVE
CONSTRUCTION TYPE SO WE KNOW
WE'RE GETTING A CERTAIN NUMBER
OF UNITS DEED RESTRICTED TO
AFFORDABLE WE WANTED TO MAKE
THE BALANCE OF THOSE UNITS THAT
AREN'T WITHIN THE SAME PROJECT
THAT AREN'T DEED RESTRICTED
TO ALMOST A FORCIBLE BUT LESS
EXPENSIVE THAN SOME OF THE
HIGH RISE CONSTRUCTION SO
WE'RE CREATING MORE BALANCED
COMMUNITIES THE TOC PROGRAM
ALSO ALLOWS FOR US TO REALLY
CUSTOMIZE AND TAILORED THIS
PROGRAM INTO OUR COMMUNITY
PLANS INTO THE FUTURE AND --
SO THAT WE CAN WILL TAKE THIS
WE TOOK A CITY WIDE TOC PROGRAM
WHICH HAD AT CITY WIDE --
BONE A TIERED SYSTEM OF BONUSES
AND WHAT WE'RE DOING AS WE
UPDATE OUR COMMUNITY PLANS AND
WERE DIVIDED INTO THIRTY FIVE
COMMUNITY PLANS AS A CITY WE
CAN THEN TAKE THOSE THOSE TOC
INCENTIVES AND CUSTOMIZED FOR
EACH -- EACH OF OUR COMMUNITIES
AT PROVIDED THEY PROVIDE THAT
THE SAME LEVEL FOR ABILITY
NOW APART APPOINTING THING TO
NOTE WITH WITH WITH OUR TOC
PROGRAM IT'S AN ALCOVE THAT
MEASURE JJJ A CITIZEN INITIATIVE
VOTER A CITIZEN INITIATIVE --
INITIATED AT -- A VOTER
INITIATIVE CITIZEN INITIATIVE
WHICH IN ESSENCE BECAUSE IT
WAS INITIATED BY THE SAID THIS
AND DID NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH
THE CALIFORNIA FROM A QUALITY
AFTER SEQUEL NOW THAT PROVIDED
US WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT
OF STREAMLINING IT THAT THE
MISSION OF ITSELF STREAMLINED
THE APPROVAL PROCESS SO WHEN
FROM THE TIME THE INITIATIVE
WAS ADOPTED AT THE TIME WE GOT
THERE INCENTIVE PROGRAM IN PLACE
IT WAS NINE MONTHS AND THAT'S
A SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS BECAUSE
I'LL GIVE AN EXAMPLE LIKE A
PRINTER SUPPORT OF HOUSING AND
-- MATTEL CONVERSION ORDINANCE
WHICH STREAMLINED -- --
HOUSING ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS
-- THAT TOOK US OF ROUGHLY
TWO YEARS AND HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN IN IN
CONSULTANT COSTS AND ENDED UP
IN LITIGATION SO WE BY PASSED
ALL OF THAT AS PART OF THIS I'M
A FEW QUICK NUMBERS FOR US --
IN TERMS OF THE RESULTS OF THE
PROGRAM IT'S FACILITY THAT THE
FIRST YEAR OF ITS PRODUCTION
OF ITS ADOPTION FROM SEPTEMBER
OF LAST YEAR TO SEPTEMBER OF
THIS YEAR TWENTY FIVE PERCENT
OF ALL FOR HOUSING IN THE
CITY THROUGH ENTITLEMENT IS
THROUGH THE TNC PROGRAM AND --
ABOUT TWENTY PERCENT OF THAT IS
AFFORDABLE VERSES ARE DENSELY
BONUS PROGRAM ABOUT SEVENTEEN
PERCENT SUPPORT ALSO IT'S MORE
WRITING MORE YOU AFFORDABLE
HOUSING UNITS IF YOU ACTUALLY
LOOK AT THE LAST THREE MONTHS
IS NOT TWENTY FIVE PERCENT OF
OUR OVER HOW THE HOUSE IN THE
LAST THREE MONTHS HAS BEEN
AVERAGING SIXTY FIVE PERCENT
OF OUR OVERALL HOUSING FOR THE
TOC PROGRAM IS BEEN VERY --
POPULAR THE ROUGHLY THIRTY EIGHT
PERCENT OF ALL THOSE AFFORDABLE
UNITS OR FOR EXTREMELY
LOW INCOME WHICH IS HUGELY
IMPORTANT TO US WHERE WE'RE
REALLY STARTING TO GET TO YOU
-- I'M HELPING PEOPLE WHO ARE
SUBJECT TO BEING HOMELESS --
AND OUR APPLIQUE AND WE'RE
ACTUALLY AVERAGING IF YOU
INCLUDE BUT ARE DISCRETIONARY --
BY RIGHT PERMITS WERE AVERAGING
ONE TO USE THE APPLICATION
EVERY BUSINESS DAY FOR THIS
LAST YEAR AND THE AVERAGE TIME
TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS IS
FOR MONTHS VERSUS THE DENSITY
BONUSES EIGHT MONTHS FOR
CUTTING THE TIME IN HALF FROM
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GO THROUGH
THE PROCESS FOR DENSITY BONUS
AND IT'S THE BONUSES ARE AN
EXPEDITED MIND A FEW THINGS IN
TERMS OF SOME KEY TAKE AWAYS
IS THAT THIS IS A PROGRAM
IS ABOUT MIXING INCOMES IS
ABOUT PUTTING HOUSING NEAR
TRANSIT AND IS ABOUT BECAUSE
IT'S ABOUT CAREFULLY TAILORING
THESE INCENTIVES AROUND THE
VERY FIBER NATURE OF THE CITY --
IT'S REALLY FOCUSED ON EXTREMELY
LOW INCOME WHICH WE THINK IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
OF THAT BECAUSE OF OUR OUR OUR
OUR NEED FOR TECH TO ADDRESS
HOMELESSNESS IN THE CITY --
THE FORTY SORT SEVEN STORY WOOD
FRAME CONSTRUCTION TYPE HAS
REALLY BEEN ABLE TO ALLOW US TO
HELP ADJUST AND AND FIT THESE
AND PROJECTS INTO MANY OF OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD SOME OF THEM THAT
JUST ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY
HOME SEEK WAS STREAMLINING OF
THE POLICY DOCUMENT IS IS VERY
VERY IMPORTANT WE WOULD LOVE
TO SEE SEEK WAS STREAMLINING
AS PART OF OUR COMMUNITY PLANS
WHEN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING
ALL THIRTY FIVE ARE IRAQI
PLANS BY TWENTY TWENTY FOUR
AND IF THERE'S A WAY FOR US TO
STREAMLINE THE C. CLASS LEAST
JUDICIAL REVIEW FOR THAT WOULD
BE VERY HELPFUL FOR US BECAUSE
THAT'S ONE OF OUR BIGGEST
CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE AND
WE'RE PRODUCING WERE PRODUCING
UNITS WE PRODUCED THIS LAST
FISCAL YEAR AS I'VE MENTIONED
TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND UNITS FOR
-- OVERALL IN THE CITY AND IF
YOU LOOK AT OUR EIGHT YEAR OUR
REGION HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
GOAL -- WE ACTUALLY MET IT FOR
MARKET RATE -- IN THREE YEARS
ARE EIGHT YOUR GOAL WE MET
WITH AND THREE YEARS BECAUSE
OF THE WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
DO THE STREAMLINED FOR HOUSING
PRODUCTION -- WITHOUT I JUST
WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR
YOUR TIME AND THIS IS SUCH A
CRITICAL ISSUE -- WE'RE THRILLED
TO HAVE YOU HERE LOS ANGELES
TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S
IMPORTANT TO US THANK YOU AND
WORLD WAR ALCOHOL LASHES SOME

PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US
OF ORGANIZATIONS LIKE US WHO ARE
REALLY NOT POLICY MAKERS BUT WE
SURE DO IMPLEMENT THOSE POLICIES
AND WE KNOW HOW THEY WORK AND
DON'T WORKS WE APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY THROUGH HIM TO
GET IN FRONT OF YOU AND SO
LET ME JUST GO THROUGH AND AND
GO THROUGH THE INFORMATION HE
PREPARED SO STARTING WITH THE
DEFINITION OF ROLE BECAUSE THERE
ARE MANY OUT THERE AND AND HE
IS FOCUSED ON ON ONE THAT WERE
COMMONLY USE I THINK EVERYONE'S
PROBABLY AWARE THAT ARE THE
PRINCIPAL FINANCING PROGRAM
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOTH IN
RURAL AREAS IN AND URBAN AREAS
IS STILL THE THE LOW INCOME
HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROGRAM
AND THAT'S ADMINISTERED IN OUR
STATE BY THE CALIFORNIA TAX
ALLOCATION COMMITTEE SO THAT'S A
RECOGNIZABLE DEFINITION ALTHOUGH
-- IT'S THEIR DEFINITION THEY
RELY ON USDA'S UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOR
FOR HELPING TO FIND THAT TOO
SO IT'S WITH ONE IN AREA
ELIGIBLE THAT IS RECOGNIZED BY
USDA AND IN GENERAL THEY TALK
ABOUT -- HAVING A POPULATION
OF ABOUT THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND
IN UNINCORPORATED AREAS OR IT'S
OUTSIDE OF A STANDARD METRO AREA
-- IN A THIRD WAITED FIND IT
IS IN INCORPORATED CITIES WITH
POPULATIONS OF FORTY THOUSAND OR
LESS -- YOU CAN SEE THE REST
OF THE OUT THERE BUT THAT'S
GENERALLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
RURAL THOSE SMALLER NON METRO
COMMUNITIES SO HE I THINK
HAD IN MIND TO PRESENT TO
YOU KNOW HERE'S WHERE WE WERE
IN NINETEEN SIXTY SEE SOME
CONDITIONS THAT WERE POOR
AND WE IN FACT INTO TODAY
FAST FORWARD SIX YEARS I'M
NOT A LOT OF CHANGES IT WAS
BLACK AND WHITES AND COLOURS BUT
IT'S POOR CONDITIONS RIGHT SO
-- IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A POINT
THAT WE'VE DONE IT SO MUCH IN
THIS IS IN RURAL AREAS THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT -- FOR THIS
PART OF THE PRESENTATION WE'VE
JUST GOT A HIGH LEVEL OF POVERTY
STILL THEY'LL SO THERE'S A LOT
MORE WORK TO BE DONE YOU CAN SEE
HERE THAT THE WHAT THE POVERTY
RATES REALLY ARE THROUGHOUT THE
STATE A LOT OF CONCENTRATION
HIGH POVERTY AREA THAT THE
TOP IN THE CENTER OF THE
STATE TO THIS TO THE SOUTHERN
PART TWO AND HERE'S WHERE
SOME INDICATORS OF OF OF HOW
THAT PLAYS OUT ANA CAN BE FOUND
IN THE DATA IT SEEMS MANY OF THE
RURAL COUNTIES HAVE AYE A HIGHER
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE RELATIVE
TO CALIFORNIA IN GENERAL OVER
THE -- AT THE BOTTOM THERE
IS FOUR POINT ONE EVERYTHING
ELSE IS OVER FIVE ABOUT THAT
IN THE UC IN EVIDENCE BY
FOOD STAMP USE IT'S THE HIGHEST
IN RURAL COUNTIES AND THERE'S
SOME STATISTICS ALL ACROSS
THE THE BOARD AND THEN YOU
SEE RELATIVE TO CALIFORNIA AT
ELEVEN THE THE NEXT HIGHEST
IS THE SEVENTEEN ABOVE THEIR
NOT ONLY THAT BUT IN RURAL
AREAS THERE THE RENTERS ARE
EVEN HIGHER COSTS BIRD MEETING
THERE FOR SPENDING MORE THAN
THIRTY PERCENT OF THEIR INCOME
TOWARD RENTS AND YOU CAN SEE
HOW THAT GETS DISTRIBUTED
THROUGH SEVERAL RURAL COUNTIES
THE HEADLINE HERE IS KIM
MUTING INCLUDING FUEL AND
MAINTENANCE COSTS REALLY
DRAMATICALLY INCREASES RURAL
POPULATIONS BECAUSE THEY'RE
TRAVELING SO FAR AND SEE
SOME SOME OF THE STATISTICS
THERE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTIES
SO WE WANTED OUT SEVERAL THE
SCHOOLS WE STILL FINDING IN
RURAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT OF
COURSE DEEP CUTS IN FEDERAL
HOUSING THIS PARTICULAR
PRONOUNCE FOR USDA FINANCING
-- THERE'S ONE PROGRAM THAT
BUILT A LOT OF RENTAL HOUSING
OVER THE YEARS IT'S CALLED THE
SECTION FIVE FIFTEEN PROGRAM
AT THE USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT
-- -- HAS BEEN ADMINISTERING
FOR NUMBER OF YEARS THEY HAVE
NOT ISSUED A NO FOR A NOSE
FOR THE FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR
DEVELOPERS LIKE OURSELVES AND
FOR PROP DEVELOPERS TO BE ABLE
TO APPLY FOR SINCE TWO THOUSAND
TWELVE THE PROGRAM HAS NOT BEEN
FUNDED THAT IS IMPORTANT TO
PROGRAM THAT SPECIFICALLY IS
FOR ELIGIBLE FOR RURAL AREAS
TO TO TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE NEW
RENTAL HOUSING THAT'S JUST NOT
COMING BACK LIKEWISE THERE
IS RENTAL ASSISTANCE SIMILAR
TO THE SECTION EIGHT PROGRAM
THE HUD PUTS OUT BUT THIS
IS REALLY FOR A RURAL AREAS
THAT THAT PROGRAM IS IS FLAT OR
OR DECLINING IT THERE'S NOTHING
NEW COMING THERE AND YET THE
SEE THAT'S REQUIRED IS
INCREASING SO WERE FALLING
BEHIND ON THE FEDERAL
SIDE IN RURAL AREAS
UNTIL NOW YOU SEE IT NEXT
NEXT NINE THERE HASN'T BEEN
A NOW FOR A LIMITED STATE
FUNDING WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE
YOUR EFFORTS TO BRING
SHOULD I SWITCH
A SWITCH MY
ALL RIGHT -- AND YOUR COLLEGE
EYES CAN YOU ARE ON A ROLL ON
IT IS BROKEN BILLS MICROPHONES
SO I'M GETTING OF GETTING
I JUST GIVE US A MOMENT AND
WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT
BOTH DOWN CAN YOU
HEAR ME YEAH IS
OKAY ONE TO TRY AGAIN OKAY CREEK
SO FOR EXAMPLE STATE FUNDS
WE HAVE WE HAVE BEEN USING IN
RURAL AREAS THE JOKESTER IN
A FARM WORKER GRANT PROGRAM
THAT BUT THAT RAN OUT QUITE A
FEW YEARS AGO AND YOU YOU ARE
ALL AWARE THAT BUT WE'RE SO
THANKFUL THAT THE COFFERS ARE
REVEALING SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO
DO MORE SO THAT'S A POSITIVE
WERE VERY OPTIMISTIC THEIR SOME
PROGRAMS AT THE STATE THOUGH
DON'T NECESSARILY WORK FOR RURAL
AND IN SHORT IT'S FOR THINGS
LIKE THE CONDITIONS AND LET ME
JUST SAY YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN CITY AND REALIZE IT'S
WHEN YOU'RE DESIGNING POLICY
THE POINT THAT WE WANT TO MAKE
I THINK IS ONE SIZE DOESN'T
FIT ALL NECESSARILY AND SO YOU
MENTION SET ASIDES FOR ROAD THAT
IS SO CRITICAL AND HERE'S KIND
OF AN EXAMPLE OF HEALTH PLAYS
OUT IN SOME OF THE PROGRAMS
THERE'S AN INCENTIVE HER
APARTMENT -- THRESHOLD REALLY
TO TO HAVE LET'S SAY A PROP
THE PROJECT HAS TO BE LOCATED
WITHIN A CERTAIN DISTANCE OF
OF A OF A MAJOR GROCERY STORE
WELL THAT'S EASY SOMETHING
MOSTLY IN CITY AND URBAN AREA
BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE
CASE AN ORAL SO THAT'S AN
EXAMPLE OF WHY THERE'S THESE KEY
DIFFERENCES AND SO THE PROGRAM
PROGRAM'S REALLY NEED TO -- HAVE
A MIND FOR RURAL TO WHEN WHEN
IT COMES DOWN TO IMPLEMENTING
THOSE ARE FORMING A SO WE ALSO
HAVE -- IN RURAL AREAS IT'S
IT'S COMMON TO FIND FAILING
OR NONEXISTENT INFRASTRUCTURE
THERE'S REALLY A LACK OF
DEVELOP A LAND -- YOU KNOW
JUST IN A LOT OF THESE AREAS
THE TOP POCKET FEE THE GEOLOGY
IS IS AN ISSUE ASIDE FROM
THE INFRASTRUCTURE COURSERS
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS
THERE'S AGRICULTURAL LANDS THAT
THE YOU KNOW WE CAN'T BUILD ON
AND THERE'S QUITE A BIT AS YOU
KNOW PUBLIC PUBLICLY ON LAND
STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL SO THAT
LIMITED SUPPLY IS IS EVIDENT IN
THE RURAL AREAS IT IT DOESN'T
ALWAYS FEEL LIKE THAT BUT IT'S
IT'S DEFINITELY -- RESTRICTION
-- OBSTACLE WE FIND IN A LOT
OF ROOM REAL AREAS TO THERE'S A
REAL LACK OF OF -- ORGANIZATION
IN HER GOVERNMENT CAPACITY
WE'RE WORKING IN A CORPORATE
ITS CITY THAT REALLY ONLY
HAS THE CITY MANAGER WEARING
ALL THE HATS IT'S LIKE THE
OPPOSITE OF OF OF YOUR YOUR SHOP
-- AND SO THAT MATTERS BECAUSE
WE'RE TRYING TO PROCESS OF
A PROJECT THERE AND THEY HAVE
YOU KNOW THE ORDINANCES AND THEY
HAVE ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT
THEY HAVE TO DO BUT THAT'S ONE
PERSON SO THAT'S DEFINITELY AN
OBSTACLE THAT WE WOULD WE WE
WE NEED TO DEAL WITH THE BOND
IN IN MANY MANY COMMUNITIES
IN THE RURAL AREAS -- THERE
ARE OUR MOBILE HOME PARKS THAT
WE REALLY RELY ON FOR --
FOR THE HOUSING IS MORE THAN
FIVE THOUSAND ARE REGISTERED
IN THE STATE THAT'S ABOUT A
MILLION PEOPLE IN THERE'S EVEN
MORE THAN THAT ARE THAT ARE
ARE NOT REGISTERED SO --
IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATISTICS
STATISTICS ABOUT FOUR PERCENT
OF ALL THE HOUSING THE STATE
IS WHAT ROOF OF MOBILE HOMES
PARKS REPRESENT BUT IN RURAL
RURAL AREAS THAT'S ABOUT TWENTY
PERCENT SO YOU CAN SEE THE THE
DRAMATIC -- IMPORTANCE THERE
IN RURAL VERSUS URBAN SO SOME
SOLUTIONS THAT WE'RE HOPING TO
TO GET OUT INCLUDE RENT CONTROL
IN THE PARKS ANTI CLOSURE
PROTECTION BECAUSE WE DO SEE
YOU KNOW FOLKS TRYING TO CLOSE
THOSE FOR VARIOUS REASONS AND
CHANGE THE USES IT'S GREAT
IF THE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
CAN HAVE A FIRST RIGHT OF
REFUSAL FOR THE TENANTS WHO
LIVE THERE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE
OVER AND OWN THOSE PARKS AND
CONTINUE THEM IT BE VERY
VERY HELPFUL TO TO INCREASE
FUNDING FOR PARK BUYOUTS AND
REHAB THAT'S ANOTHER THING
THAT WE REALLY SEE A LOT OF
IS -- EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT
PRESSURED TO TO GO AWAY THERE
REALLY BECOMING IN DISREPAIR
AND FOLKS JUST DON'T HAVE
THE MEANS TO FIX UP THEIR OWN
TRAILERS THE PARKS UP SO THAT
THAT GOES TO THE LAST LINE CODE
ENFORCEMENT IS HAPPENING AND I
JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE YOU KNOW
YESTERDAY WITH THE CITY THE
CALLED US -- THEY'RE
WORRIED THAT THE THE FOLKS
BECAUSE OF CODE ENFORCEMENT
WILL WILL WILL ULTIMATELY
BE DISPLACED SO THAT'S A
REAL ISSUE THAT WE'RE TRYING
TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION
MOVE AHEAD HERE OKAY
THERE'S AN ONGOING NEED FOR FARM
WORKER HOUSING -- YOU CAN SEE
THE NUMBERS OF FARMWORKERS
THERE ON THE TOP LINE THAT
SINCE NINETEEN NINETY WE'VE
REALLY SEEN THE TREND THAT
FARMWORKERS LIVE IN FAMILY
UNITS RATHER THAN LIVE ALONE
SO WE'VE BEEN BUILDING THOSE
FAMILY UNITS THAT'S STARTING TO
SHIFT A LITTLE BIT IN THE FACT
BECAUSE THE FACT THAT THE WE
JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DOMESTIC
WORKERS THAT EARN FAMILY UNITS
HERE -- THE GROWERS IN ALL OF
OUR AREAS ARE DESPERATE FOR
LABOR THEY REALLY JUST DON'T
HAVE ENOUGH THANK YOU PROBABLY
BEEN HEARING THIS A DRAMATIC
INCREASE IN APPLICATIONS FOR
H. TO A GUEST WORKER PROGRAM
-- WORKERS TO BE BROUGHT
IN WILL THAT'S IMPACTING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO BECAUSE
A GROUP OR IS IN OUR AREA I'M
TALKING ABOUT FOR EXAMPLE IN
SANTA MARIA VALLEY STRAWBERRY
CAPITAL OF THE WORLD OF
THEY ARE BUYING UP THEY HAVE
BROUGHT UP SEVERAL MOTELS
HOTELS THEY'RE BUYING UP MANY
SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN THE
NEIGHBORHOODS SO THAT THEY CAN
HAVE A PLACE TO HOUSE THEIR
WORKERS WHICH IS WHAT THEY'RE
REQUIRED TO DO A PROVIDE HOUSING
SO THAT MEANS THERE'S JUST
LESS INVENTORY FOR THE DOMESTIC
FARMWORKERS AND EVERYBODY
ELSE BEGINNING THE COMMUNITY
WHO NEEDS ARM HOUSING SO
THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT'S REALLY
BUMPING UP ON OUR RADAR --
AS WELL THE SENATE SOLUTIONS IN
THAT CATEGORY WE CAN STRENGTHEN
LOCAL HAVE A HOUSE -- THE
HOUSING ELEMENT LAW TO REALLY
ACKNOWLEDGE AND IT FARM
WORKER HOUSING REQUIREMENTS --
NOW TO BE HELPFUL WE
NEED TO INCREASE THE TAX
CREDIT ALLOCATION SO WE CAN
REALLY DO SOME MORE OF FARM
WORKER HOUSING IF WE CAN GET
SOME INCENTIVES FOR GROWERS TO
PARTICIPATE THE SAID THE PRIVATE
SECTOR THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT
THING THAT WE THINK TO NEEDS TO
HAPPEN WORST WE'RE WE'RE TALKING
TO GROWERS BUT IF THEY CAN HAVE
INCENTIVES I THINK THAT WILL
REALLY PUT HIM OVER THE TOP TO
PARTICIPATING IN THE SOLUTION IS
WE'VE MENTIONED ALREADY THAT
THERE'S REALLY A LACK OF
INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOP LAND
DEVELOP FULL FULL LAND AND
SO SOME OBVIOUS SOLUTION FOR OUR
FUNDING FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS
-- AND TO -- SPORTS
YOU KNOW THE VARIOUS LAND
BANKING MANDATING SERVICES
FOR EXISTING COMMUNITIES
BEFORE NEW COMMUNITIES --
POP UP AND GREEN SPACES
OKAY WE DO FEEL IN THE
RURAL AREA THAT THERE THERE
IS SOME EXCESSIVE USE OF LAND
USE RESTRICTIONS THESE SYKORA
PARTICULARLY -- WE GET THE VALUE
THERE CERTAINLY VALUED AND AND
WE APPRECIATE THE VALUE OF SEEK
WELL BUT IN OUR JURISDICTIONS
WERE SEEING WERE OFTEN THE NOT
THERE ARE -- OPPOSERS TO THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOLKS THAT
WILL NEVER LIVE FOR UTILIZE
THE HOUSING BUT THERE OPPOSE FOR
VERY STRICT BUT THOSE ARE THE
THOSE ARE THE FOLKS ARE REALLY
ALL SAY ABUSING THE THE THE
SEQUEL LÀ TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT THINGS TO USE THAT TO MEET
THEIR AGENDA THAT IS THE KIND
OF THING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE FIXED IS WHERE THERE'S NOT
FRIVOLOUS DELAYS COSTLY TO US
-- THAT REALLY -- DOWNGRADE
THE PROJECTS ARE SOMETIMES STOP
THEM THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
WE SEE IN THE RURAL AREAS THAT
NEEDS ATTENTION SO SOLUTIONS
IF IF MORE EXEMPTIONS COULD
CALM FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
FROM SEEK WELL THAT WOULD
THAT WOULD CERTAINLY HELP
REQUIRING INCREASES ALLOWABLE
DENSITY DEVELOPMENT BY RIGHT
IS IS REALLY HELPFUL EXPEDITED
PROCESSING OF COURSE IN THE
FEE WAIVERS AND FOR ALL ISRAELI
WHAT HELPS US SPEAKING OF
THESE IN THE RURAL AREAS WE
FOUND VERSUS URBAN
THE AT SCHOOL IMPACT FEES
ARE A LOT HIGHER IN THIS
IS BEEN A REAL CHALLENGE
-- IMAGINES BECAUSE YOU YOU
KNOW OUR SCHOOLS ARE ARE
-- ALLOCATING CLUB FOR THE
PRODUCTION AND SO -- IT'S COMING
UP HIGHER BUT THIS IS A PROBLEM
IN CERTAIN AREAS CALIFORNIA'S
TRIBAL COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN
NEGLECTED SO ARE RUBS ME
ON A FEW FACTS HERE THERE IN
CALIFORNIA IT HAS THE LARGEST
NATIVE POPULATION IN THE U. S.
THERE ARE A HUNDRED AND NINE
FEDERAL RECOGNIZED TRIBES ABOUT
THIRTY TWO THOUSAND LIVE ON
THOSE LANDS IN THOSE CONDITIONS
THERE HIGH POVERTY OVERCROWDING
POOR HOUSING FEW RESOURCES
ARE THE PROBLEM IS SOME OF THE
TRIBES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR
SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE JUST
AREN'T SO IF THEY WERE ELIGIBLE
THAT WOULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
THAT COULD START ACCESSING SO
SOME OF THESE FUNDING PROGRAMS
AND CORRECT SOME OF THOSE
CONDITIONS OF ANOTHER SOLUTION
MITIGATING UNDERWRITING SITE
CONTROL TITLE OBSTACLES THAT
THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT TO THAT
COMMUNITY FACES AND RECREATING
THE CALIFORNIA INDIAN ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM AT AGE SHE DE IS A
RECOMMENDATION ROB'S MAKING
RIGHT SO --
URBAN CENTRIC HOUSING PROGRAM
SO MANY THIS MANY STATE HOUSING
PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED FOR
LARGER CITIES AND WE KIND OF
MENTION THAT SO I THINK THE
POINT BEING AGAIN IF RURAL
CAN BE SORT OF SEPARATED OUT
IF THERE'S MORE SET ASIDES
IN EACH OF THE STATE PROGRAMS
SEVERAL OF THEM HAVE THEM WERE
MOVING TOWARD THAT -- BUT THE
MORE PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDE --
DIFFERENT CONDITIONS DIFFERENT
THRESHOLDS THAT RECOGNIZE
THE CONDITIONS AND RURAL
COMMUNITIES WILL BE MORE HELPFUL
WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THAT
YOU'RE DOING WE ARE GIVING
I WAS GIVING A TALK TO THE
COMMUNITY LAST NIGHT AND
THE FOLKS ASK ME THIS SAID TO
ME YOU WOW YOU'RE YOU'RE VERY
OPTIMISTIC I DON'T THINK YOU
WERE LAST YEAR AND I SAID YEAH I
AM BECAUSE OUR STATE LEGISLATURE
HAS BEEN DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB
AND THEY'VE BEEN REALLY MOVING
THE NEEDLE SO WE ALL HAVE A
REAL HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
I THINK THE LAST THING THAT
I WANT TO MENTION IF WE CAN
ALSO INCLUDE IN THE LEGISLATIVE
AGENDA FOR ROLE AS WE ARE
ALSO I MENTIONED WE'RE IN THE CO
HOSTS SO THE COASTAL ZONE IS
ALSO AN AREA THAT WE'RE WORKING
IN AND A LOT OF THE LEGISLATIVE
LAWS THAT CAME THAT YOU FOLKS
HELPED BRING FORWARD HAVE BEEN
TERRIFIC TOOLS BUT MOST OF
THEM ARE MANY OF THEM EXAM THE
COASTAL ZONE SO WE'RE NOT ABLE
TO USE THOSE TOOLS AS INTENDED
SO THE MORE THAT TO COASTAL ZONE
SCANNED -- BENEFIT IN A
FROM THE THE THE THE THE
LAWS THAT YOU GUYS ARE BRING
FOR THE BETTER TOLD APPRECIATE
YOU HERE IN THE ABLE TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU'D LIKE
THANK YOU ARE THE COOL
-- OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS
OUR FIRST -- I KNOW THAT
SENATOR THEN ALLEN IS --
PROBABLY ONE THING TODAY
-- HE WOULD HAVE BEEN AREAS
ON OUR COMMITTEE AND BUT
HE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY --
HIS HIS NEW BORN AS ROUGH
SO LOW AS ROUTE
OKAY SO
WELL PUT IT UP FOR QUESTIONS I
THINK THEY'RE A HI
ROOM QUESTION
ARE HER -- FOR VINCE'S LIKE
TRIPLE J. -- WAS
APPROVED BY THE VOTERS AND
IT CREATED A NEW DYNAMIC
A NEW PARADIGM FOR LAND
USE PLANNING AND -- LA
AND PROBABLY CALIFORNIA --
KIND OF GOING AWAY FROM THE --
ONE SIZE FITS ALL ZONING
AND MORE INTO A MORE
DYNAMIC APPROACH TO URBAN
PLANNING CREATING OR --
REFINE MAN I GUESS YOU CALL IT
ON ON -- INTO THIS MATTER --
INDIVIDUALIZED PLANNING FOR
AREAS YOU THINK -- THE STATE
LAWS AND URBAN PLANNING
AND -- HOUSING APPROVALS
CURTAINS -- HELLO
-- BILL MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IF THEY WERE USING SUCH A MODEL
-- AT THANK YOU I ABOUT
YET YOUR INTERESTING WITH
JJJ IT IT DIDN'T MANDATE A
A CUSTOMIZED APPROACH BUT
IT ALLOWED FOR IT SO WHAT
IT DID IS IT GAVE THE CITY
THE FRONT OF THE MANDATE
BIRDS ON ENABLING IN EXACTLY
WITHIN A BUT IT'S BASICALLY
SAID HERE'S A MINIMUM WERE
KNOCKING EXIT THE MOM ON THE
THAT FIGURE UP SO WHAT IT DID
AND ALLOWED MINIMUM BUT NOT
A MAX EGGS AND ALSO A LOT OF
CERTAIN FLEXIBILITY WITHIN A
FEW THINGS TO NOTE WHICH HHA
IS THE FACT THAT ITS SUNSETS IN
TEN YEARS SO WE HAVE ABOUT EIGHT
YEARS LEFT OF JJJ BUT A DOUBT
DOES ANTICIPATED ACTUALLY THINKS
IT REALLY ANTICIPATES IN AND
AND WITH THAT THE CITY WILL
UPDATE ALL OF ITS COMMITTEE
PLANS WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME AND
THEN OF COURSE INCORPORATE TOC
IN A MORE CUSTOMIZED WAY WITHIN
THE COMMUNITY PLAN SO IT ALLOWED
US FIRST TO DO IT CITY WIDE
I'M THE CAN BE CUSTOMIZED AND
IT ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT WHEN
YOU TAKE THE TOC AND PUT IT
INTO THE COMMUNITY PLANS THAT
EACH COMMUNITY PLAN MAY HANDLE
THE TOC PROGRAM DIFFERENTLY
GIVEN THAT THE UNIQUE NATURE
OF THOSE PARTS OF OUR CITY
OTHERS AT STREAMLINING THE
APPROVAL PROCESS AND OR THE
OTHER SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU WOULD
HAVE FOR OSTER STREAMLINED
AND MAKE THE LAND USE APPROVAL
PROCESS -- SIMPLER ARE FOR
GETTING MORE PROJECTS --
THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS
QUICKER BUT ONE OF THE THINGS
IT DOES IN AND AND AS AS THAT
AS OUR PRESENTERS SPOKE ABOUT IS
SICK WITH A VERY IMPORTANT LAW
AND WE WE BOTH VALUE AT A MUCH
IN TERMS OF WHAT IT DOES TO
PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT HOWEVER
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT
THIS OUT ALLOWED US TO DO IS
TO SAY LOOK HOUSING AND HOUSING
YOUR TRANSITS VERY IMPORTANT
SO WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO
COME UP TO A PROGRAM WHERE YOU
DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH SECRET
TO COME UP WITH THE POLICY TO
CREATE THE DISTAL CAPACITY NEAR
DEVELOPMENTS WILL ALLOW YOU TO
CREATE THIS INCENTIVE PROGRAM
THAT ALLOWS FOR THIS MORE
DENSITY THAT THAT MAKES IT --
THROUGH THE THROUGHOUT THE CITY
NEAR TRANSIT YET STILL
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WHEN THEY
COME IN WILL STILL BE SUBJECT
TO SEEK WITH US NOT US AT OUT
YOU DON'T GET OUT OF SYNC LÀ IS
JUST THAT YOU'RE NOT SEPARATE
IS EQUAL AT BOTH CREATING THE
POLICY OF THE LEGISLATION AND
THEN AGAIN WHEN YOU HAVE THE
DEVELOP PROJECT IS SAYS WILL
CREATE WILL ALLOW YOU CITY TO
CREATE SOME POLICIES THE STREAM
STREAMLINES THE SEAPORT VIEW
UNDERSTANDING AT THE BACK IN
THE DEVELOP PROJECT COMES AND
SO I THINK THAT WAS ACTUALLY
VERY POWERFUL PART OF IT --
AND I ALSO THINK WHAT IT DID IS
IT ALLOWED US TO CREATE THESE
INCENTIVES -- THAT WE COULD
CREATED A SYSTEM THAT WAS
SOME OF THEM ARE DONE BY RIGHT
THEY GO STRAIGHT INTO BUILDING
AND SAFETY FOR PLAN CHECK AND
OTHERS WOULD ACTUALLY DO MORE
DISCRETIONARY PROCESS WITH A LOT
OF TO DO IS IS TO IN ADDITION
TO FOUR DIFFERENT TIERS OF HOW
THEY'RE LOCATED NEAR TRANSIT
IT ALLOWED US TO GIVE US IN
ITS ESSENCE TWO DIFFERENT PATHS
OKAY INTEND ON HOW DOES HOW DOES
SOMETHING LIKE THIS CONSERVE
APPLY -- OR THE WORKABLE
ON A RURAL ROAD VARMINT
WOULD RURAL COUNTIES AFTER
DO DIFFERENTLY IN ORDER TO
INCREASE THE AVAILABLE THERE
REALLY OF HOUSING IN RURAL
AREAS I THINK IT'S IT'S THE SAME
APPROACH IN THERE ARE A ON ON
THAT I THINK IT'S THE SAME YEAH
SAME BEEN SAVE APPROACH WOULD
WORK L. SIMILAR STREAMLINING
OF CENTER ROSS BILL AS WE
THINK IT'S FIVE FORTY --
-- ALLOW THE COMMUNITY PLAN
TO HAVE A D. I. R. AND AND
THAT WOULD -- NOT REQUIRE --
INDIVIDUAL SICK OR DOCUMENTS OR
-- INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS IS IS
IS THAT CLOSE TO WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT ANDERS CENTER
RALPH'S -- BILL NEED TO BE
AMENDED IN ANY WAY ARE TO BE
CLARIFIED -- REGARDING --
THAT PROCESS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
HIS INTENTION WAS I WOULD
SAY YEAH THAT THAT'S HELPFUL
WORK BOWL ALL PASSED OVER TO
YOU BUT I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT --
I MENTIONED UP INFRASTRUCTURE
-- CAPACITY REALLY IS AN ISSUE
IN SOME THESE COMMUNITIES WHERE
THESE PLANTS NEED GREAT OUT
SO REALLY WE'RE WHAT WOULD
ALSO NEED TO HAPPEN IS SOME
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE GRANTS
THE MONEY FOR THE LOCAL CHURCH
JURISDICTION TO DO THESE PLANS
IS REALLY WHAT WE'RE HOPING
TO GO ALONG WITH SOMETHING ON
I WOULD SAY THAT
THE LEGISLATION IS WERE FIND
OUT -- THE DISTRICT AND
IF
IF THE BUT IT WAS
A BILL REMINDING
SEQUIN COMPLETE
ADOPTED BY
I WILL BE VERY HELPFUL TO THE
LARGER CITIES BECAUSE THE CITY
LIKE LOS ANGELES HAS THIRTY FIVE
COMMITTEE PLANS IF WE UPDATE
A MALL IN SIX YEARS AND WHERE
WE COULD BE AT A NONSTOP STATE
OF LITIGATION THROUGH THAT AND
OTHERS LARGER CITIES HAVE KEEP
SOMETHING LIKE A COMMUNITY PLAN
SAN DIEGO IS ONE OF THEM LONG
BEACH HAS SOMETHING SIMILAR A
MANY OTHER CITIES OF THAT AND WE
COULD CREATE A LOT OF CAPACITY
IN URBAN AREAS MORE QUICKLY IF
WE HAD SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO
I WAS THE OLDER GIRL
CENTER ATKINS HERE ARE THE BILL
AS HE TO AND
-- THAT -- BILL
WHICH WAS ADOPTED AND TWENTY
SEVENTEEN -- --
ACTUALLY ESTABLISHED A TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE -- GRANT PROGRAM
FOR COMMUNITIES THAT WHILE
YOURSELF ORDINANCES AND THINGS
YOU KNOW A COUPLE PROGRAMS FOR
OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO ARE
WE WILL SEE HOW THAT HAS BEEN
USED IN THE RURAL AREAS BECAUSE
I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT RIGHT CAN EXACTLY
YOGURT SO THAT'S OUR THAT'S
OUR LINK WE CAN PUT TOGETHER
THANK YOU SO MUCH MISTER
CHAIR -- IN WE DO APOLOGIZE
ABOUT THAT AS THE MICROPHONE
CHALLENGES OUT AND WE'RE
GONNA TAKE A QUICK FIVE MINUTE
BREAK AFTER BEING IN CAN IN MY
APOLOGIZE GENTLEMAN CHALLENGES
I AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING
ON SINCE CAIN BROKE BOTH OF
THEM EARLIER ALLY CAM K¿T
READING FROM CANNOT THE UNDER
THE BLAST SO THERE YOU GO
OVENS -- THANK YOU VERY MUCH
IN ORDER FOR PRESENTATION A FEW
QUESTIONS FOR YOU -- YOU'RE
ALLOWING UNDER JJJ DESIGN REVIEW
-- AND YOU ALSO HAVE STREAMLINED
APPROVAL PROCESS SO THERE ARE
A LOT OF FOLKS OUT THERE THAT
SAY DESIGN REVIEW IS WHAT HOLDS
UP THE PROCESS SO WERE YOU
ABLE TO MATCH YOUR STREAMLINING
CUT THAT THAT TIME OUT IS THAT
HOW YOU'RE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO
KEEP DESIGN REVIEW SO THAT'S
QUESTION NUMBER ONE THE SECOND
QUESTION IS IN REGARDS THE OF
ZONING SO FIFTY SEVEN THOUSAND
UNITS AROUND TRANSIT WITHOUT
JJJ WHAT WAS YOUR PROJECTION --
WITH THAT -- IF YOU DIDN'T SEE
THIS INITIATIVE PASSES WELL IF
YOU CAN GOING TO BOTH OF THOSE
-- -- A FEW THINGS IS
WHAT WE DID IS FIRST WE
PRIORITIZE HOUSING RIGHT WE
PRIORITIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
SO WE ACTUALLY CREATED A SYSTEM
THAT WE ENSURE THAT WE HAVE
GO THROUGH DESIGN REVIEW BUT
IT DOESN'T HOLD UP THE PROCESS
SO THERE IS ON A IF YOU WILL A
PARALLEL COURSE SO WE DON'T HAVE
A SEPARATE DESIGN REVIEW AND
WE INTEGRATED INTO OUR SYSTEM
THERE'S WAYS YOU CAN DO THAT
EVEN MORE THAN WHAT WE'VE DONE
WITH IT WHERE WITH PARTS OF OUR
CITY IN PARTS OF OUR AREAS WE'VE
COME UP WITH DESIGN STANDARDS
THAT MUCH MORE QUANTITATIVE SO
THAT WE CAN EXPEDITE THE REVIEW
OF THAT TO A WE ACTUALLY TALK
ABOUT DESIGN REVIEW WHERE WHERE
WE CAN -- QUICK VERY SPECIFIC
GUIDELINES EVENTS ARE GOING
TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF A DEEPER
DIVE IS IT -- IS IT BASED
OFF OF NEIGHBORHOODS WITHIN CITY
SEE YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE ME WHAT
EXACTLY IS THAT SOAKING GIVES IN
DETAIL WASN'T SO FOR EXAMPLE FOR
EXAMPLE -- WE ACTUALLY DO FOR
THE JJJ PROJECTS FOR VETERANS OR
COMMUNITIES THERE'S TWO PASSES
EITHER STRAIGHT INTO BUILDING
SAFETY FOR PERMIT OR THERE'S
AND DISCRETION ENTITLEMENT
WHEN WE GO THROUGH WITH THE
DISCRETION ENTITLEMENT THEN WE
DO -- WE DO AT A DESIGN REVIEW
AS PART OF IT BUT WE WE MAKE
SURE IT DOES HOLD ITS A STAFF
LEVEL DESIGN REVIEWS NOT IT
IS NOT A SEPARATE COMMITTEE
STAFF DOES THE DESIGN REVIEW AS
THEY'RE REVIEWING THE PROJECT
FOR CONFORMANCE WITH ALL THIS
OUT SO IT'S A CONCURRENT SYSTEM
DOES THAT MEAN THE ACKERMAN
AFRICAN IN I'M COMING IN I
WILL SIMPLY SAY YOU'VE YOU
ESTABLISH YOUR TEMPLATE BUT
YOU ACCEPT THE TEMPLATE AND
YOU HAVE THAT STREAMLINED
PROCESS IS THAT ACCURATE OR
-- FOUR TOC
-- IT'S IT'S A SIMILAR IT'S
IT'S AN ESSENCE THERE'S NOT
THE SEPARATE TEMPLATE FOR TNC
PER SE WE DO HAVE TEMPLATES
THAT WE'VE INTEGRATED INTO
OUR COMMUNITY PLANS WHICH HAVE
DESIGN WHICH BASICALLY ALLOWS
US TO DO AN OVER THE COUNTER
SIGN OFF ON FROM A DESIGN
REVIEW STANDPOINT WE CALL IT
AT ADMINISTRATIVE CLEARANCE
SO IT ALLOWS US TO DO WHEN WE
WORK WITH COMMUNITIES AND THEY
SAY THIS PARTICULAR AREA OF OUR
COMMUNITY WE'RE REALLY CONCERNED
ABOUT HOW IT LOOKS AND IS
DESIGNED THEN WE'LL DO A
SPECIFIC OVERLAY FOR THAT WITH
QUANTIFIABLE DESIGN STANDARDS
WILL BE DOING ADMINISTRATIVE
SIGN OFF OVER THE COUNTER THAT
CITY WIDE REGARDLESS OF TSC
SO THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
WE DO NOW AND THAT WITHOUT HAS
DONE IS THAT ALLOWED US TO MOVE
PROJECTS FROM DISCRETIONARY TO
NOT DISCRETIONARY RIVERS WAS
ALLOWED US TO DO IS ACTUALLY
STREAMLINED THE OVERALL
PROCESS BECAUSE OF THAT THREE
TOC THE DISCRETIONARY ONCE
WE'VE DONE A LOT A STAFF
LEVEL DESIGN REVIEW WHICH IS
WILL SEPARATE FROM THE ADMIN
CLEARANCE WE WE'VE INCORPORATED
INTO THAT CLEARANCE --
AND SO I I HOPE THAT ANSWERS
THAT PART OF THE CLUBS ARE
YET THE SECOND PART OF THE
QUESTION WHICH WAS DE NIRO
THROUGHOUT THE NUMBER -- FIFTY
SEVEN YEAH ABOUT FIFTY SEVEN
THOUSAND SO YOU HAVE THAT
WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT
JJJ OF THAT WAS NOT PART OF JJJ
THAT SEPARATE FROM JJ CHECK ON
THAT SWITCH SEPARATE PROJECTS
AND JJ I MENTIONED THAT TRANSIT
ON COMMITTEES AND THAT'S
BECAUSE THAT'S FIVE PROGRAM
AT THE LIVE WHICH IS SIMILAR
TO LIKE A DENSITY BUT STATE
BOARD SPENT ON THAT WERE
UPDATING ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY
PLAN AND WHAT CREATING SPECIFIC
TRANSIT NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS
AS PART OF OUR RECENT UPDATES
TO A COMMUNITY PLAN AND THE
NEIGHBOR POINTS WITH ACTUALLY
PARTNERED WITH LA METRO ON MANY
OF OUR TRANSIT NEIGHBORHOOD
PLANS WITH THE HELP PROVIDE THE
FUNDING OF THE PARTNERSHIP WITH
JUST A THOSE RECENT EFFORTS
-- WE'VE PROVIDED FIFTY SEVEN
THOUSAND NEW UNITS WE PROVIDED
IN WARNER CENTER IN THE VALLEY
WHERE WE HAVE -- SOME RAPID
BUS WE PROVIDE AROUND TWENTY
SEVEN THOUSAND UNITS ARE CORN
FIELD RECYCLE PLAN WITHIN
SEVEN THOUSAND UNITS SOUTH AND
SOUTHEAST LA WHICH HAS BOTH OF
WHICH HAS A LIGHT RAIL AND AND
HIGH FREQUENCY BUS SEVENTEEN
THOUSAND UNITS AND A LONGER EXPO
LINE HONOR LATER PHASE OF THE
EXPO LINE WE'VE PROVIDED ANOTHER
SIX THOUSAND UNITS IN YOUR
DEFICIT IS WHAT IF YOU TAKE A
LOOK -- CITY WIDE BY OVER
THE LAST TEN YEARS WOULD YOU
THINK THAT DEFICIT LIVE WELL
I MEAN JUST OVERALL JUST GIVE
YOU ORDER OF MAGNITUDE IF YOU
LOOK THE LAST LIKE -- I THINK
SINCE THAT NINETEEN EIGHTIES
OR NINETIES OUR POPULATIONS
INCREASE AN AVERAGE OF THIRTY
FIVE PERCENT AND OUR HOUSING
SUPPLY TWENTY FIVE PERCENT
AND SO SO I I DON'T HAVE THE
THE CITY WIDE AND ABOUT THE
TOP OF MY HEAD I THINK THE
COUNTY WIDE NUMBER SOMETHING
LIKE A MILLION DEFICIT OF
HOUSING UNITS COUNTY WIDE WHERE
FORTY PERCENT OF THE COUNTY
SO YOU KNOW ROUGHLY IN THE
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS IS
WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT IN
TERMS OF THE DEFICIT IN
THIS CHAIR LAST QUESTION FOR --
-- ON THIS ISSUE ARE
WE ALSO TALK ABOUT CULTURE AND
COMMUNITY RIGHT SO ARE
WE CAN THROW BILLIONS
AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
STREAMLINED PROCESS ANY
MAY STILL I'M NEIGHBORHOODS
THAT AMONG LOSE
SO WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE
BEEN ON THE GROUND EVERYONE
SUPPORTS AFFORDABLE HOUSING ME
THIS IS A BIT OF AN OVER OVER
A GENERALIZATION BUT A LOT OF
FOLKS SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
THAT WOULDN'T IT BE CURRENTLY
IT'S CLOSE TO HALF MILE THEIR
HOME OR IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
-- THEY START CHANGING HER MIND
WHAT DID YOU SEEN ON THE GROUND
ARE WITH DANCER DEVELOPMENT
-- BUT THERE'S A FEW THINGS
WHEN WE FIND THE OPPOSITION TO
AFFORDABLE WHEN THEY'RE LARGELY
HUNTERS AND AFFORDABLE WE'VE
BEEN BUILDING THROUGH DENSITY
BONUS AND OTHER INSTANCES OF
THE YEARS AFFORDABLE HOUSING
INTEGRATED INTO DEVELOP PROJECTS
ALL OVER THE CITY WITHOUT ANY
PUSH BACK BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S
A BALANCE IS A MIXTURE OF OF
OF MARKET RATE IN AFFORDABLE
-- WHEN IT COMES THE DENSITY
THERE'S PARTS OF THE CITY
WHICH MAKE THE HAVE A PUSH BACK
IN THIS PARTS THAT DON'T BUT
IT'S NOT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE
GET A REACTION OVER DENSITY
S. NUMBER OF UNITS PER ACRE
WE GET REACTIONS TO HEIGHTS
AND SETBACKS AND THOSE TYPES
OF THINGS AND SO WERE WE FIND
THAT THE THE LARGE ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE FOUND IS WE
WENT BACK INTO OUR DENSITY
BONUS PROGRAM WE WHEN WE AND
LOOKED AFTER EXPERIENCES THERE
ADD THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS
THAT WE GET THE BIGGEST --
PUSH BACK ON ONE OF THEM IS
WHAT THE STREET LOOKS LIKE
HOW FAR THE BUILDING SET BACK
FROM THE STREET AND THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT TO SET WHICH IS
A HOT BUTTON FOR FOLKS THAT'S
WHY IN IN THE TOC INCENTIVES
WE DID WE DID NOT REALLY UP
WE DID ALLOW FOR ACROSS THE
BOARD WERE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT
MAINTAINING CONSISTENT STREET
SET BACKS ANOTHER THING WAS
THAT INTERACTION BETWEEN SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES AND MULTIFAMILY
THAT THERE'S SOME KIND OF
TRANSITION BETWEEN BETWEEN
THAT AND THAT'S WHY IN THE TNC
PROGRAM WE DIDN'T WE WERE VERY
CAREFUL ABOUT THOSE WE ALLOWED
LESS OF THE TRIP WE ALLOWED
-- WE TRY TO PRESERVE THE
TRANSITION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
AND LAST ALLOWED LESS IF YOU
WILL -- EXCEPTIONS TO THAT YOUR
EXCEPTIONS YOU BELIEVE THAT'S
WORKING OR IS IT STILL WORK IN
PROGRESS LET'S GET TO WORK IN
PROGRESS BECAUSE TEARS HE'S BEEN
AROUND FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND
SO WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THINGS
GETTING CONSTRUCTED NOW I WILL
TELL YOU WHEN WE HAVE THAT AT
TIMES WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
BE OKAY WITH SOME PROJECTS THAT
MAKE US A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE
FROM TIMES WHAT WORKS IN LOS
ANGELES SAN FRANCISCO SAN JOSE
ARE DOESN'T WORK IN YOUR REGARD
CRESCENT CITY -- WE WERE --
I THINK THAT -- APPROVING
SAMPLE TRINITY COUNTY HAS
AN UPDATED THEIR GENERAL
PLAN IN LIKE THIRTY YEARS
THE MILLION BUCKS I CAN'T AFFORD
IT IS -- THEY'VE HAD A COUNTY
ADMINISTRATOR FOR TWO AND A
HALF YEARS I BRING THAT UP IS
-- HE YOUR SPOT ON IN REGARDS
TO BAND WITH -- IN REGARDS
TO THE BASIC SET IN A REALITY
THAT'S ON THE GROUND IN MANY
PARTS OF RURAL CALIFORNIA I
A AND WE HAVE TO BE FOCUSED
ON STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS
TO ASSIST THE BUILDING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND --
RURAL COUNTIES IN SMALL
COMMUNITIES THAT SAID
-- WE NEED TO IT ONE OF THE
ITEMS THAT AS CENTER BELL HAS
BEEN VERY FOCUSING ON IS WE
HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE DATA
AND THEN WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO
TRACK PARTICULAR COMES ISSUES
APART RIGHT NOW OUTLINED -- THE
LEVELS OF POVERTY IN CALIFORNIA
FOR CAPITAL GAINS IN THE HIGHEST
EARNED ROLE CALIFORNIA WHERE
THE ARMS WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING
AT IS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
GRANTS LIKE FOR EXAMPLE NO
PLACE LIKE ONLY TWO BILLION
DOLLAR SUPPORTIVE HOUSING --
FOR CHRONIC HOMELESS EVERY CITY
ARE IN OR COUNTY WILL BE ABLE TO
GET A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE GRANT
TO BE ABLE TO HELP BUILD ON
ANYTHING INCREDIBLY -- CRYSTAL
FOR RURAL CALIFORNIA IS A THREE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS SET
ASIDE NO PLACE LIKE HOME WORKING
LISTENER DEVELOP VERY GRATEFUL
ON THIS ON TOP ONE THERE'S
A THREE MILLION DOLLARS SET
ASIDE SO THAT WILL COMMUNITIES
ARE HAVING TO COMPETE WITH
LIKE LA TO BE ABLE TO GET
THESE DAMN GRANT DOLLARS IN --
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT DEDICATED
FUNDING IS -- PART
OF THAT MAGIC POTION --
WHEN IT COMES TO SUCCESSFUL
HOMEBUILDING AFFORDABLE UNITS
YES I DO IKEA
I THINK THAT THE ANOTHER
LAYER TO TO PER PROS
PERHAPS ON ASPECT AN
EXAMPLE IN A COMMUNITY WHERE THE
HAS JUST A CITY PLANNER A CITY
MANAGER WHO THE HOT --
CERTAINLY THAT MONEY WOULD
BENEFIT YOU KNOW THE CAPACITY
ISSUE -- I THINK
THAT SHE IS SO OVERWHELMED
THAT I DON'T SEE HOW SHE'S EVEN
GOING TO HAVE THE CAPACITY TO
APPLY FOR SOME OF THIS FUNDING
I THINK EVEN ANOTHER LAYER TO
GO IS IF THE STATE CAN IDENTIFY
REALLY WHERE THIS NEEDS TO GO
AND MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE
-- SENDING IT IN THAT DIRECTION
RATHER THAN APPLICATION I THINK
THAT'S ACTUALLY WHERE WE NEED
TO GO THE NEXT FOR SOME OF
THESE POOREST IN A JURISDICTION
MAKE FUNDING BROAD RIGHTS
ON THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
GRANTS FOR ON YOUR PLACE I
COME YOU CAN HIRE CONSULTANT
BE EVER SHOW YOUR PROJECT
THROUGH JUNK AND THEN YOU'LL
HAVE YOUR SOCK AUSTRALE HAS
THE VERY BROAD YEAH AND THAT IS
IS WORKING THAT SHOULD WORK I
AGREE WITH THAT THAT'S A GOOD
A STRATEGY I'M ALSO GRATEFUL
YOU BROUGHT FORWARD AND --
THE ISSUE OF NATIVE AMERICANS
-- ON THE NORTH COAST
WE HAVE MORE NATIVE AMERICAN
TRIBES ANYWHERE ELSE IN CITY
CALIFORNIANS IN THE GREATEST --
NUMBERS ON THE WEST COAST AND
BACK UP UNTIL ABOUT A YEAR
AND A HALF AGO WE HAD ONE OF
THE FEW SCHOOLS LEFT IN THE
ENTIRE WESTERNIZED DAYS WASN'T
HOOKED UP ELECTRICAL GRID
OUR CLAMOR TRINITY NINE PERCENT
CAN RECKON STUDENTS FIRED UP THE
GENERATOR EVERY DAY ARE TO
BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT SCHOOLS
ELECTRICITY IN MANY THESE
RULES RESERVATIONS SIX STEPPING
BACK IN TIME IN THE SIMPLY
UNACCEPTABLE I AND I THINK
YOU ARE SPOT ON OF LOOKING
AT DEDICATED SIGNS FOR NATIVE
AMERICAN TRIBES TO BE ABLE
DON'T HOUSING -- AND
-- OTHERWISE TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS BIG OR
SMALL I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT
FORTY THAT I COMPLETELY AGREE
WITH YOU YEAH I THINK YOU'VE
CALLED AMERICAN AND GREAT
GRATEFUL AND THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE AND THANK YOU FOR STEP
AND THEN THE LAST THING IS WELL
READY SO YOU DO HAVE EIGHTY
WE DID A FANTASTIC JOB TODAY
THANK YOU SO MUCH MISTER CHAIR
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
OUR LIST WILDERNESS ARE
MARKED DOWN HERE QUESTIONS
THANK YOU FOR OF ALL THIS FALL
UPWARD MOTION REQUIRE LEFT OFF
AND AND MAYBE JUST GIVE A LITTLE
EDUCATION CAN ON ON THE
THE RESERVATIONS IN THE STATE
-- CRIED A LITTLE RESEARCH ON
THAT SUBJECT TAKEN THE OPPOSITE
BUILDER ON HOUSING CAN THEY
BUILD HOUSING FOR WORKERS
THAT GUY COME ON TO SAY WORK
THE CASINOS OR WHATEVER OTHER
YOU KNOW NEVER YOU'RE PURSUING
I'LL HAVE TO CONFESS I'VE NOT
WORKING WITH ANY TRIBES AND I'M
NOT AN EXPERT -- OR OR REALLY
DON'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE ON
THAT I DO KNOW THAT IN OUR AREA
WE HAVE THE CHUMASH TRIBE WHO
HAS -- WELL FINANCIALLY
COURSE THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT
SCENARIO THEY'RE BUILDING
HOUSING ON ON LAND AND AND
IN IN IN THE COMMUNITY TO SAID
I BELIEVE IT'S POSSIBLE BUT
I CONFESS I'M NOT THE EXPERT
ON OKAY THEN THAT AND THEN
I'LL STOP MY LAN A QUESTIONS
YOUR BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO
SEE IF INDIAN RESERVATIONS ARE
ABLE TO PROVIDE -- HOUSING
AS A AS AS IT RELATES TO
ON DRIVE MEMBERS BUT JUST AS
IF THEY CAN ALLOCATE FEDERAL
LAND OR TRAVEL AND AND AND ME
PART OF HOUSING NEEDS AND I'M
JUST CURIOUS IF YOU HAVE ANY
MAYBE THEY'RE REQUIRING SPRINTS
IN THAT OR IS IT IS IT IS A
FEDERAL LAW THAT THEY'RE NOT
PERMITTED TO BUILD ANYTHING
OTHER THAN FOR THEIR OWN FIVE
AND THEIR WORK FOR SO
-- WERE MOST TRIED TO FOCUS AND
I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THEM
BUT WERE MOST TRACTOR FOCUS
ARE BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE --
SAVE FOR MORE HOUSING
ON THEIR LANE FOR TRIBAL MEMBERS
THAT'S FOR -- THEIR TOP PRIORITY
THE CHALLENGE IS THE LACK OF
FUNDING SOURCES BE ABLE TO DO SO
IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE NORTH
COAST FOR EXAMPLE IN JORDAN
TRIBES ARE NON GAMING TRIBES
THEY GET A MINIMUM
AMOUNT OF DOLLARS FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT EVERY YEAR
OUR AND THEIR TRAVEL TRAVEL
GOVERNMENT IS BASED OFF OF THAT
FEDERAL FUNDING PLUS GRANTS
THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO COMPILE IN
ANY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
AT VERY
FEW TRIBAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
WHICH IS WHY I THINK WE NEED
TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT SOME TYPE
OF DEDICATED REVENUE SOURCE --
FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO ONE HAVE
A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO BE
ABLE TO BUILD I AM ACTUALLY HAVE
DOLLARS TO BE ABLE TO RETROFIT
MAYBE AND BAND IN HOTEL ARE
THAT IS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES
OR -- BUILDING IT WILL AS WELL
SO I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE
SHOULD BE FOCUSED BUT -- EIGHTY
INTEREST IN CANS PERSPECTIVE ON
THAT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S AGAIN
CANNOT -- OVER STATE
MANY TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS OR
SMALL COMMUNITIES HAVE THE
BARE MINIMUM OF STAFF TRINITY
COUNTY FOR EXAMPLE HAS NINE
TOTAL SHERIFF DEPUTIES FOR
A COUNTY THE SIZE OF TEXAS IF
YOU WERE TO FLATTEN TRINITY
ALPS THERE HAVE TWENTY FOUR
SEVEN COVERAGE THERE PUBLIC
WORKS DIRECTOR IS ALSO
PLANNING DIRECTOR DRIVES A
SNOW PLOW OVER THE WINTER
OUR AIR AND SO THERE'S
REAL CHALLENGES THERE'S I
THINK CAN I BE INTERESTED
IF THAT'S THE CASE AND ONE
YEAH AGREED IT'S THE NON GAMING
TRIBES THAT WERE LIKE ABOUT HERE
ON WHAT I CAN DO IS WE CAN
RESURGENT AND SEND SOME
INFORMATION BACK TO EACH OF
YOUR OFFICE SAID THE GREAT
I DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION
HANDY BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT
AS A FOLLOW WE WILL WILL
CONSIDER THAT A NON RESPONSE
OKAY THE NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE
-- IS THERE SOME OLDER
UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES THAT
WHEN THEY'RE STRUGGLING MAY
SEEM TO SELL OFF A FEW ACRES
OF PROPERTY AND AND AND THAT'S
HOW THEY RAISE MONEY FIVE
I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THAT
WOULD BE A SCENARIO BILLABLE
FOR RESERVATIONS ON THE SLIDE
BEFORE THE TRAVEL COMMUNITIES
YOU DISCUSSED ACCESSIBLE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS LAND USE
RESTRICTION YOUR FEET PLEASE
AND SO WE TALK ABOUT SEEK REFORM
AND THAT'S ALL WE DO WE JUST
TALK ABOUT SICK OR SO I
AM YOU YOU SAID WELL WHY
DON'T EXEMPTS AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND AND SO I'M WONDERING ABOUT
THE RAMIFICATIONS I'M A I'M A NO
BETTER NO WORSE WHY GIVE AN
EXEMPTION TO JUST ONE PARTICULAR
-- DEVELOPMENT AS OPPOSED TO
LETTING EVERYBODY HAVE THE
SAME SO I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT
ONE LOCAL CONTROL IN THAT IDEA
BUT I'M ALSO CURIOUS IF YOU
AND -- DOCTOR WIENER HAVE
LIKE SOME SPECIFIC LANGUAGE
FOR A BILL OR HIS OKAY THIS
IS WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO FIX
SO WE ARE WE HAVE PRESENTED
SOME LANGUAGES FROM TIME TO
TIME I DON'T HAVE IT WITH ME
AGAIN WE CAN DO A FOLLOW UP
AND SEND IN SPECIFICS LANGUAGE
CHANGE BUT I THINK IN GENERAL
-- WE'RE WE'RE JUST LOOKING
TO PERHAPS PUT SOME PARAMETERS
AROUND IT MAY NOT NEED TO
BE ALL AFFORDABLE HOUSING IT
COULD BE MAYBE WITH WITH SOME
LIMITATIONS FOR EXAMPLE A LOT
OF TIMES THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IN RURAL AREAS IS SMALLER
PROJECTS SIZED SO THAT COULD
BE A LIMITING FACTOR WE COULD
SAY TO EXEMPTED IN CERTAIN
AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY WHERE
WE'VE ALREADY MAYBE DONE SOME
PLANNING AND IDENTIFIED THAT
THE NIELSEN SPECIFIC PLANS
THE COMMUTER PLANNING AND
THROUGH THAT SOME ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT HAS ALREADY BEEN
DONE AND SO THERE'S A STRONG
FEELING THAT -- THAT THE
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THE
THINGS THAT SICK REALLY LOOKS
AT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ASSESSED
TO SOME EXTENT IN IF IT'S A
SMALLER SIZE PROJECT -- THAT
COULD BE HELPFUL SO THAT YEAH
YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THE VALUE
IN THE WISDOM AND NOT OPENING
THE FLOODGATES SO TO SPEAK AND
JUST ALLOW ANYTHING TO HAPPEN
-- BUT IF THERE WAS JUST SOME
LEVEL OF OF -- FRAMEWORK
THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE --
DEFINE IN WHICH SOME EXEMPTION
COULD HAPPEN THAT WOULD JUST
THE A STREAMLINED OF ASPECT
OF TWO QUICK QUESTIONS --
-- IT'S I THINK PRETTY HARD
TO REFUSE TO SCHOOL IMPACT FEE
-- AT THE LOCAL LEVEL BUT I
ARE AGREED NOT TO GO TOO FAR
AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING DOWN
TO THE HOMELESS CATEGORY BUT
-- WHAT IF YOU'VE DONE IN THE
WAY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS
IT RELATES TO SAY TRAILERS OR
-- FEMA HAS PORTABLE HOUSING
THAT ACTUALLY MOVES ON WHEELS
SOMEONE ON EBAY JUST YESTERDAY
BUT -- IS THERE ANY YOU'RE
DOING ANY RESEARCH IN THAT
AREA BLUSTERING OUR LOOK AT
THE CITY A PARADISE ARE WE ROLE
AND YOU KNOW TEMPORARY HOUSING
THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY ROLE
AND TO HELP PEOPLE OUT IS IT
EVERYBODY RESEARCH IN THAT AREA
WELL WE WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT
SPECIFICALLY CLOSEST TO THAT
IS -- YOU KNOW THE TINY HOMES
THAT THE MOVEMENT OF CRIERS
AND WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WILL DOES THAT WORK DIFFERENTLY
HERE IN ADDITION AND WITHOUT
THE MOBILE -- WE'RE WORKING
WITH THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
TO SEE WITH THE IN THE BUILDING
CODES HOW THEY MATCH WITH
THAT SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT
WITH OUR RESEARCH I THINK OF
NO THAT'S A POSSIBILITY WITH
RESPECT TO EMERGENCY TYPE
SITUATIONS IF WE HAD TINY
HOMES THAT WERE MOBILE THAT
COULD BE SET UP ON THAT'S NOT
SOMETHING THE SPECIFICALLY DONE
WITH RESPECT TO DISASTERS INTO
THANK YOU CAN TRANSLATE
OF AND ONE MORE QUESTION
CRIPPLES YOU -- BECAUSE
THE SURPLUS LAND
ELLEN LAND --
WE ARE THROUGH THE BILL ON
THE HOUSE THE LOS ANGELES
WORLD LAST YEAR WERE WRONG
LOS ANGELES AND SAN JOSE'S
CITY OF SAN JOSE WHICH I
REPRESENT WERE ALLOWED TO --
HAVE CALTRANS LEASE --
OF SURPLUS LANDS OR -- --
-- AREAS THAT COULD
BE LEASED FOR --
HOUSING HOMELESS OR DURING
HOUSING PROJECTS OR SO FORTH
-- AND THEN WHY WE DID THAT
BILL BECAUSE IT CAME UP IN
THE LATER END OF THE SESSION
-- WE DON'T WANT TO --
GO INTO A STATEWIDE APPROACH
ON THAT BUT -- THERE
IT WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
ARE MERELY SAID YOU KNOW THAT
MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO LOOK
AT TWENTY NINETEEN ON A
STATEWIDE BASIS -- HOW TO
DEAL WITH SURPLUS LAND AND
GIVE IT WOULD BE TO SELL
IT WOULD GIVE PRIORITY TO
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FIRST
TIME RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
SENATOR WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT SIR MORE WHAT WE JUST
HEARD ON AN INCENTIVE TO
DO TO DO THE PLANNING
SO OF THE CITY OR COUNTY
IN A RURAL WANTED TO DO SOME
PLANNING AROUND PROPERTIES
THAT WERE PRETTY LOGICAL --
THE USE -- BUT
THE QUESTION WOULD BE --
HAVE YOU DONE ANY THOUGHTS
ON THAT ISSUE AND IS THERE ANY
EXPEDITED -- ZONING
OR OTHER KINDS OF THINGS WE CAN
DO CENSUSES PROPERTY OWNED
BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
ESSENTIALLY -- THAT WE COULD
-- EXPEDITE YOU KNOW
HOUSING OR EVEN HOMELESS
PROGRAMS BECAUSE WE NOW HAVE
PROP TWO PASSES
-- WITH THE TWO BILLION DOLLARS
FOR HOMELESS MILLENNIAL HOUSING
YOU KNOW THAT SIR MORE LIKE
TALK TO ME ABOUT THE ORANGE
COUNTY HOMELESS AND THE DIRE
NEED AND YOU KNOW ALL THE
OTHER LEGISLATORS ARE TALKING
ABOUT IT SO DO YOU HAVE ANY
COMMENTS ON THE USER WAYS WE CAN
WORK TO EXPEDITE -- THIS
CRITICAL CRISIS THAT WE HAVE
WITH HOMELESS ARE USING YOUR
ABILITIES THAT YOU YOU -- YOU
CAN GIVE US ADVICE ON YEAH I
WOULD YOU SAY THAT'S A GOOD
QUESTION AND WE DO TALK TO YOU
KNOW THE STATE FROM TIME TO
TIME WHEN WE SEE A PROPERTY
THAT IN THEIR OWNERSHIP OF I
WOULD JUST SAY THAT'S TERRIFIC
IF WE CAN DO THAT A LOT OF
TIMES THOSE PROPERTIES LOCATED
IN IN PLACES THAT DON'T COMPETE
SO WELL FOR THE INCENTIVIZE
FUNDING SOURCES LET'S SAY
FOR EXAMPLE IS NOT CLOSE TO A
GROCERY STORE GAVE THAT EXAMPLE
OF THAT AGO SO IT'S HARD TO
TELL WHETHER NOT THEY COMPETE
WELL FOR THE REST OF FINANCING
HOWEVER IF THEY'RE DONATED OR
COMMON -- YOU KNOW BELOW MARKET
THAT'S CERTAINLY GOING TO BE
HELPFUL TO SORT OF MAKE UP THE
DIFFERENCE ON THAT GAP THE OTHER
THING TO MENTION IS THIS THIS
THE SURPLUS THING YOU KNOW THE
THE THE THE REGULATIONS HAVE
TO BE FOLLOWED IN STATE LAW
FOR SURPLUS THING CAN CAN TAKE
SOME TIME IN AND TIME IS THE
ENEMY OF COURSE SO IF IF
THEY WORK IF IF IF IF THEY WERE
GOING TO BE SOME WORK DONE ON
ON SORT OF -- SHORTENING
FOR LACK OF A BETTER WAY TO PUT
IT OF THE PROCESS FOR SURPLUS
IN LAND SO THAT COULD GET INTO
OUR HANDS AND FOLKS LIKE US TO
DEVELOP AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT
WOULD BE BENEFICIAL I WOULD
I'M A -- WITH WHAT
WE CAN GET THAT IN AND I
THINK THAT VERY HELPFUL TO US
OUT WITHIN THE STATE LAW SERVICE
PROVIDE US THE CLEARANCE FOR
THE ZONING IN THE JOURNAL PLANET
THE SIX PART OF THAT THEN WE
CAN PROVIDE THAT DELIVERED
HOUSING MUCH MORE QUICKLY ARMS
AT THE COULD BE A GREAT IDEA
OCCURS ON THE WORK ON IT OKAY
WELL THANK THERE'S AN ORDER
QUESTIONS ARE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND -- WE PUSH IT WILL
TAKE A FIVE MINUTE RATES
TO SEE IF WE CAN GET THE --
MICROPHONES -- CELEBRATE AND
WE'RE GONNA TAKE A FIVE MINUTE
BREAK NOW SO THE BOTTOM LINE
ALL RIGHT WELL THANK YOU AGAIN
ARE ALL OF YOU FOR BEING WITH US
TODAY WERE VERY GRATEFUL AND WE
COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED TO BE
INTRODUCING THIS NEXT PANEL OF
EXPERTS AND WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS
ON THIS PANEL IT WILL BE FOCUSED
ON THE EFFECTS OF RESTRICTIVE
ZONING ON HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
WE HAVE SOME OF THE BRIGHTEST
MINDS IN THE INDUSTRY IF YOU
WILL -- THAT ARE IN TALKING
WITH US TODAY FIRST OFF WE HAVE
MICHAEL LANES A PROFESSOR FROM
UCLA LUSKIN SCHOOL HE'S GIVE
ME SPEAKING TO THE EFFECTS OF
LAND USE REGULATION AND HOUSING
PRICES ACROSS CALIFORNIA IN
INCOMES SEGREGATION GOING TO
BE DISCUSSING HOW MARKET RATE
CAN HELP CREATE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN RIMINI SOME OF THE
BIG TOWNS THAT WERE SEEN IN
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE
STATE WE ALSO HAVE JONES LEAN
-- PROFESSOR FROM UCLA LUSKIN
SCHOOL SHE'S GONNA SPEAKING
WHY I TO THE SUPPLIER MARKET
RATE HOUSING AIMED SPECIFICALLY
AT MARGUERITE HOUSING ALONE
SIMPLY ISN'T ENOUGH TO BE ABLE
TO SOLVE THE CRISIS THAT WE
HAVE AT AND SPEAKING ON HIS
MANAGER IN MANAGING DISPLACEMENT
SO WE'RE GONNA KICK IT OFF OF
WITH PROFESSOR LANDS FIRST AND
THEN TURN IT OVER TO PROFESSOR
LIMÓN WE ASK THAT YOU KEEP
YOUR COMMENTS TO APPROXIMATELY
SEVEN MINUTES IF THAT WORKS
FOR YOU AND IF IT WORKS FOR
THE TWO OF YOU WILL BE OPENING
UP FOR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
IN AGAIN FOURTEEN THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TODAY
CYCLE TWENTY CAN CAUSE YOUR
ARMS WILL TAKE YOU TO THE THE
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND TO
THE COMMITTEE OF COURSE --
FOR SPENDING TIME TO DISCUSS
THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES -- I
WANT TO SPECIFICALLY THANK THE
CHAIRS -- SENATORS FELL IN THE
CHOIR FOR YOU LIKE ME TO SPEAK
TODAY -- FEEL JUST A
YOU KNOW QUICK YOU KNOW
INTRODUCTION ON ON MY EXPERTISE
I CONDUCT RESEARCH ON HOUSING
AND SEGREGATION AS ARE THE
SENATOR MENTIONED I'M ASSOCIATE
PROFESSOR OF URBAN PLANNING
AND PUBLIC POLICY AT UCLA
-- SPECIFICALLY MY RESEARCH
FOCUSES ON HOW HOUSING POLICY
AND PLANNING DECISIONS CAN
IMPROVE THE LIVES OF LOW INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS AND THE COMMUNITIES
IN WHICH THEY LIVE --
IN THIS TESTIMONY I'M GONNA
DRAW ON MY OWN RESEARCH AS
WELL AS THAT OF OTHERS TO GIVE
A SENSE OF WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT
HOW OUR LAND USE REGULATION
OR ZONING AFFECTS HOUSING
SUPPLY HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
AND SEGREGATION BY INCOME AND
RACE ON YOUR FOR DEFINITIONAL
PURPOSES IN THE AYE THERE
ARE TWO ASPECTS OF LAND USE
REGULATIONS THAT I AM DISCUSSING
TODAY BROADLY SPEAKING --
YOU KNOW FIRST LOCALITIES
DESIGNATE PARCELS OF LAND AND
LARGER AREAS FOR RESIDENTIAL
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL AND OR
DOES YOUR PURPOSES AND THEN THEY
SPECIFY ON CERTAIN RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING TYPES AND HEIGHTS OF
THESE PARCELS -- SINGLE
FAMILY ZONING OR ARE ONES ONLY
FOR AREA RATIO MAXIMUMS PARKING
REQUIREMENTS THESE ARE JUST
YOU KNOW SOME YOU KNOW ASPECTS
OF HOW WE REGULATE RESIDENTIAL
-- SPACES -- AND THEN SECOND
OF THE SOME OF THIS ARGUMENT
TOUCHED ON BUT LENGTHY APPROVAL
APPROVAL PROCESS PLEASE CAN
ALSO SLOW DOWN DEVELOPMENT
AND IN THAT BROADLY SPEAKING
NEIGHBORS AND OTHER INTERESTED
PARTIES CAN AND DO STAND UP TO
WORK HOUSING CONSTRUCTION --
I GUESS I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF
TIME SO I'M GOING TO FOCUS ON
THE PRESENT BUT I DO WANT TO
BEGIN BY HIGHLIGHTING THE FACT
THAT ZONING RESTRICTIONS HAVE
A PARTICULAR STAIN HISTORY IN
THIS COUNTRY -- THEY CAN BE
WHAT CREDIBLY ARGUE THAT THE
JENNER GENESIS OF RESIDENTIAL
ZONING IN THIS COUNTRY WAS IN
THE SERVICE PRIMARILY OF RACIAL
SEGREGATION -- SO YOU KNOW
ADDS THAT THE SHORT VERSION OF
THAT STORY IS THAT YOU KNOW AS
AFRICAN AMERICANS BEGAN LEADING
THE RURAL SOUTH IN LARGE NUMBERS
-- FOR CITIES LIKE THE COUNTRY
LOCALITIES LEGALLY BARRED BLACKS
-- FROM LARGE PARTS OF THE
CITIES IN INTENSELY MAINTAINED
OF ALL WHITE NEIGHBORHOODS
AND NO FAST FORWARDING TO THE
PRESENT -- YOU KNOW WE STILL
HAVE YOU KNOW SEEMINGLY RACE
NEUTRAL -- NINETIES REGULATIONS
ON THE BOOKS -- THAT YOU
KNOW HAVE YOU KNOW DISPARATE
IMPACTS ON LOW INCOME AND LOW
INCOME HOUSEHOLDS AND AND RACIAL
MINORITIES AND YOU KNOW WHEN
WE MAKE IT LEGAL FOR NEARLY
IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD MULTI
FAMILY HOUSING IN THE CITY OR
NEIGHBORHOOD WE ARE MAKING IT
MUCH MORE DIFFICULT -- IN MY
VIEW FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR AND
LOW INCOME FAMILIES TO LIVE
SO WHAT WE DO ABOUT THESE
RELATIONSHIPS ARE WILL BE NO
SORRY ABOUT THESE RELATIONSHIPS
RIGHT NOW -- YOU KNOW AS
THE SENATOR MENTIONED THERE
ARE THREE BIG OUTCOMES
THAT RESEARCH IS TYPICALLY
CONCERN YOU KNOW EFFECTS OF LAND
IS REGULATIONS ON HOUSING SUPPLY
-- HOUSING COSTS IN SEGREGATION
BY INCOME RATES AND LAND
USE REGULATIONS HAVE PERHAPS NOT
SURPRISINGLY EVEN BEEN FOUND TO
AFFECT ALL OF THESE THINGS --
AND YOU KNOW I DO WANT TO NOTE
THAT THE BACKGROUND DOCUMENT
PROVIDE TO THE COMMITTEE --
AND SPEAKERS IS A GREAT PLACE
TO LOOK FOR FOR CITATIONS AND
A MORE DETAILED DISCUSSION
ON ON SOME OF THESE THESE
RELATIONSHIPS I'M NOT GONNA GET
INTO CITATIONS YOU KNOW NEXT
TIME -- WITH THE CARE
THAT LADIES REGULATE
RESTRICTIONS ARE COMPLICATED AND
NOT ALWAYS EASY TO MEASURE WE
DO HAVE STRONG EVIDENCE
THAT THESE LAWS RESTRICT HOUSING
SUPPLY IN SOME WAYS THIS IS
MECHANICAL WHEN WHEN WE WERE
TALKING TRYING TO LIMIT THE
SIZE OF THE AMOUNT OF --
HOUSING THAT CAN BE PROVIDED
NOT A PARTICULAR PARCEL BUT EVEN
AS WE ZOOM OUT THE PARTS OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD -- RESTRICTIONS ON
DENSITY AFFECTED RESTRICTIONS ON
SUPPLY -- AND THEN AS WE MOVE
HIS RESUME OUT EVEN FURTHER
BY DOING INVESTIGATIONS AT THE
CITY OR THE METROPOLITAN LEVEL
WE DO IN THE FIND OF THESE
RESTRICTIONS ADD UP ON THIS
CAN BE TRICKY TO STUDY BECAUSE
SOMETIMES HIGH DEMAND CITIES ARE
ALSO PLACES THAT IMPLEMENT --
RESTRICTIONS ON SUPPLY THE ONE
WERE ABLE TO ISOLATE THE EFFECT
OF -- LADIES RESTRICTIONS ON
HOUSING SUPPLY IN METROPOLITAN
AREAS WE DO FIND THAT HE'S
RESTRICTIONS LIMITS APPLY ON A
REGIONAL SCALE OF MADE THESE
CONSTRAINTS ALSO IMPACT PRICE
-- FIRST SUPPLY CONSTRAINTS
RESULT IN FEWER HOMES FOR MORE
PEOPLE -- WHEN THERE'S SCARCITY
HOUSING PRICES RISE -- THERE'S
STRONG SUPPORT IN THE RESEARCH
LITERATURE THAT SOME OF THE HIGH
SOME OF THE HIGH COST OF HOUSING
COMES FROM THE SCARCITY SECOND
LENGTHY APPROVAL PROCESS THESE
CAN MAKE PRODUCING -- HOMES MORE
COSTLY AND IF IT TAKES LONGER
IF POSSIBLY YOU KNOW COST MORE
TO FILL SOME OF THESE COSTS
CAN BE PASSED DOWN TO RECORDS A
BOX FURTHER THESE FORCES
PERPETUATING INEQUALITY IN AT
LEAST TWO WAYS -- FIRST THE
CITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS THAT
ARE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN CREATING
AND MAINTAINING SINGLE FAMILY
AND LOW DENSITY ZONES ARE THE
ONES WITH THE HIGHEST INCOMES
ON AVERAGE HOUSING MARKETS ARE
REGIONAL AND WHEN HIGHER INCOME
AREAS REDUCE THE OVERALL SUPPLY
HOUSING HOUSING BECOMES MORE
EXPENSIVE EVERYWHERE ELSE OF
VALUE TO BUILD ON THE WEST SIDE
OF LOS ANGELES PUSHES PEOPLE
OF VARIOUS INCOMES TO SEEK
HOUSING AND LOWER INCOME AREAS
AND RAISES THE PRICE OF HOUSING
THAT SECOND THERE IS THE
EXCLUSIONARY ASPECT OF THESE
POLICIES THAT GETS MORE DIRECTLY
TO THE ISSUE OF SEGREGATION
-- WHETHER OR NOT LAND USE
RESTRICTIONS ARE TRULY RACING
CLASS NEUTRAL ON PAPER -- THEY
TEND TO EXCLUDE PEOPLE OF COLOR
AND LOW INCOME FAMILIES FROM LOW
DENSITY AREAS AND ENTRANCE --
SEGREGATION BY INCOME RIGHT THE
RESEARCH CONCLUSIONS HERE ARE
STRONG ART RESTRICTIONS ON MULTI
FAMILY DEVELOPMENT THE FEAR HOP
FEAR HOUSING OPTIONS FOR LOW
INCOME AND MINORITY FAMILIES
IN PARTICULAR AND CONTRIBUTE
TO HIGHER COSTS FOR ALL HOUSING
TYPES WHICH FURTHER MAKES IT
HARDER FOR THESE FAMILIES TO
AFFORD HOMES AND DIVERSITY
OF PLACES A STRONG COUNTER
TO CALLS TO INCREASE THOUSAND
SUPPLIES THE POTENTIAL THAT
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT -- WILL ALSO
DISPROPORTIONATELY TARGET THOSE
WITH HIGHER INCOMES CREATING
WHAT IS OFTEN TURNED LUXURY
HOUSING -- FURTHER PEOPLE
WORRY THAT SUCH HOUSING WILL
INDUCE HIGHER DEMAND AND CREATE
RISING HOUSING COSTS AT THE
NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL UNFORTUNATELY
THE RESEARCH IS HONESTLY PRETTY
LIMITED IN TERMS OF THE STRENGTH
OF CONCLUSIONS THAT WE CAN DRAW
ON THESE PARTICULAR QUESTIONS --
FIRST WE DON'T HAVE IF WE JUST
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO
SAY WHETHER OR NOT NEW HOUSING
ATTRACTS MORE HOUSING DEMAND AND
CAN BE A CATALYST FOR DEFECATION
AT THE NEW -- THERE
ARE LOTS OF STRONG OPINIONS ON
BOTH SIDES OF THIS ISSUE BUT
THIS IS A VERY TRICKY RESEARCH
QUESTION AND I DON'T THINK
WE HAVE A CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE
EITHER WAY WE DO NEED TO
CONSIDER THAT IS OFTEN RISKY TO
KNOXVILLE WHERE DEMAND IS RISING
THEN HIGHER INCOME PEOPLE AREN'T
ADDITIVELY ARE MORE ABLE TO OUT
DID LOWER INCOME PEOPLE AND OR
INFLUENCE LANDLORDS TO RAISE
FRIENDS ON PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN
THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ALREADY SO
WHAT WOULD YOU IF WE WANT TO
MAKE HOUSING MORE AFFORDABLE
ACROSS REGIONS AND THE STATE
RELAX HOUSING COSTS BURDENS FOR
THE MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS
AND REDUCE SEGREGATION THE
BEST LAND USE DECISION IS
TO ALLOW FOR MORE HOUSING IN
HIGHER INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS
I DON'T PRETEND THAT THIS IS
POLITICALLY EASY BURGER MORE
SUPPLY OF THIS TYPE IS JUST ONE
TOOL THAT IS IN SUFFICIENT IN
ITSELF -- BUT IT IS NECESSARY
THIS UNGODLY ENTAILS LEADING
THE WAY IT SINGLE FAMILY
ZONING PROTECTIONS IF WE WANT
TO INCREASE OWNING CAPACITY
WITHOUT RELYING HEAVILY ON BIG
TOWERS YOUR COMMERCIAL SOUNDS
WE HAVE TO UNLOCK THE POTENTIAL
OF SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS
TO ALLOW FOR MORE SUITED FOR
FAMILY DEVELOPMENT CAN BE
VERY THERE'S NO JUSTIFICATION
WHATSOEVER IN MY VIEW FOR A
LARGE PROPORTION OF URBAN LAND
TO BE MONOPOLIZED BY SINGLE
FAMILY DWELLINGS PEOPLE SHOULD
BE ALLOWED TO LIVE IN THEM BUT
THEY SHOULD NOT BE MANDATED
TO LIVE IN THIS LEGISLATURE
HAS MADE PROGRESS IN HOLDING
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS MORE
ACCOUNTABLE FOR FOR MANY HOUSING
PARTICULARLY IN THE TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN IN TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN SESSIONS I DO TRULY
COMMANDER LEADERSHIP OF MANY OF
THE SENATORS IN THIS ROOM FOR
PASSING YOU FLAWS BUILDING MORE
HOUSING HIGHER INCOME CITIES
AND NEIGHBORHOODS IN PARTICULAR
IS GOING TO REQUIRE ADDITIONAL
STATE LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE
LOCALITIES HAVE INCENTIVES
TO BLOCK HOUSING DUE TO
THE DISPROPORTIONATE POWER
HOMEOWNERS AND THE REALITIES
OF LOCAL PROPERTY TAXATION --
THE STATE NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO
BE BOLD AND HOLDING LOCALITIES
ACCOUNTABLE AND ESTABLISHING
CONTROL OF THESE PROPHECIES OF
WHEN POSSIBLE THIS LEGISLATURE
AND THE PUBLIC IS SHOWN AN
ADMIRABLE WILLINGNESS TO RAISE
FUNDS -- TO FIND TO FIND HOUSING
AT THE STATE LOCAL LEVEL AS WE
DISCUSSED -- LAND USE CHANGES
WORK IN CONCERT WITH THESE
FUNDING COMMITMENTS YOU CAN'T
SUBSIDIZE THE CONSTRUCTION
OF A BUILDING THAT THE CITY
WILL ALLOW YOU TO FIELD AND
MORE COSTLY CRUEL PROCESS SEES
REDUCE THE PURCHASING POWER
OF THE SUBSIDIES ARM THANK
YOU FOR INVITING ME TO SPEAK
AND FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON
THESE ISSUES AND I DO LOOK
FORWARD TO YOUR QUESTIONS SO
MUCH -- IF IT WORKS FOR YOU
WHAT WITH THAT COULD DO WAS HOLD
QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS THOMAS
WILLING THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO
PRESENT AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO
JONES IS HERE TODAY ALSO FROM
LESSEN SCHOOL EASY LA THE FLOOR
IS YOURS MA'AM YOU HAVE SEVEN
MINUTES AND THEN WE'LL OPEN
UP FOR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
FROM THE COMMITTEE THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR BEING GOOD MORNING
COMMITTEE CHAIRS SENATORS
AND STAFF I'M A PRACTITIONER
FACULTY FACULTY MEMBER IN THE
UCLA URBAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT
AFTER THIRTY YEARS FIRST AS A
REALISTIC FINANCIAL ANALYST AND
THEN AS AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPER TO DATE I'D LIKE
TO BRIEFLY PUT IN CONTEXT
THE SIZE OF THE PROBLEM --
EXPLORE SOME SOLUTIONS AND --
LOOK AT THE CONCEPT OF DO
NO HARM AND FINISHED WITH A
-- THE IDEA THAT GOD
IS IN THE DETAILS --
AS YOU KNOW TWO THOUSAND
SIXTEEN THE MCKINSEY GLOBAL
INSTITUTE PUBLISHED A CALIFORNIA
HOUSING REPORTS -- WHICH
-- INDICATED THAT WEAR SHORTS
TWO MILLION UNITS AND BY
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE WE NEED TO
BUILD THREE AND A HALF MILLION
UNITS TO MEET THE GROWING
NEEDS AND -- PENT UP DEMAND
-- ALSO GOES ON TO SAY TO
ESTIMATE AFFORDABILITY GAP
-- THAT CALIFORNIANS ARE FACING
IN THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN WAR RENTERS CAN
AFFORD VERSES WHAT --
-- THE RENTS ARE IN THAT ANNUAL
GAP THIS IS ANNUAL AMOUNT
ANNUAL GAP IS FIFTY BILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR --
IT'S NOT GETTING ANY BETTER THE
MOST RECENT -- CENSUS DATA
SHOWS THAT IN CALIFORNIA RENTER
FIFTY THREE PERCENT OF RENTAL
HOUSE HOUSEHOLDS OF RENTS FOR IT
TWENTY SIX PERCENT OF THEM
SEVERELY BAT BURDENED IN
OTHER WORDS THEY PAY MORE THAN
FIFTY PERCENT OF THEIR GROSS
INCOME IN FRIENDS ORDERS
HOUSEHOLD SITUATION IS A
LITTLE BIT BETTER -- BUT
NOT THE NOT GREAT
EITHER OWNERS HOUSEHOLDS
THIRTY TWO PERCENT OF THESE
HOUSEHOLDS ARE HOUSING COST
BURDEN THE CRISIS ITSELF
IS FORTY YEARS IN THE MAKING
AND WILL TAKE ALL SOLUTIONS ALL
TAX ON ALL HANDS ON DECK TWO
SOFTWARES AFFORDABILITY CRISIS
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE HOUSING
SUPPLY AND HOW TO STIMULATE
SUPPLY THERE ARE REALLY ONLY TWO
CATEGORIES OF -- --
OPPORTUNITIES YOUR MONEY
AND UNIQUE LAND TO VERY QUICKLY
GOING OVER THE MONEY PART
PROF ONE COSTS ONE INTO --
APPROVED BY LOCAL ORDERS IN ON
NOVEMBER THIS MONTH -- WHICH
GENERATE ABOUT SIX BILLION
DOLLARS ONE TIME FOR FORMAL
HOUSING -- THE -- PERMANENT
-- STATE PERMANENT -- HOUSING
TRUST FUND GENERATE FROM
TRANSFER TAXES GENERATES ABOUT
TWO TO THREE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS THE -- CAP AND
TRADE ASIC PROGRAM THIS YEAR
WILL GENERATE ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS SO WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT YOU KNOW MILLION HEARING
MILLION BILLION MAYBE ONE TO
TWO BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
-- IN THIS TO COMPARE
THAT THE KINSEY REPORT
IDENTIFIED A FIFTY BILLION
DOLLARS GAS SO CLEARLY WE
NEED MONEY AND IT'S GREAT
THAT WE'RE GOING TOWARD THE
RIGHT DIRECTION -- BUT WE ALSO
NEED OTHER -- REFORM AND
THAT IS -- HOW CAN
WE CREATE MORE LAND
FOR DEVELOPMENT HOUSING SO
AND CREATE THE SUPPLY --
SO I BELIEVE THAT ON THE
LANDS -- SUPPLY SIDE
THAT WE NEED TO EXPLORE
CREATING MORE AVAILABILITY
AND ALSO TO INCREASE DENSITY
-- --
REFORM IS VERY MUCH NEEDED
-- SO RECENTLY
ACTUALLY THE SUMMER BREAK UC
SANTA CRUZ EVERITT PROGRAM
GENERATOR THE REPORT SAID THAT
VACANT LOTS THAT ARE A SLUSH
CLOSE TO MARKET VALUE ARE FIVE
TIMES FIVE TIMES MORE LIKELY
TO BE DEVELOPED COMPARED TO
BACON LOTS THAT HAVE VERY LOW
-- VALUE -- COMPARED TO
THE MARK ASSESSED VALUE
COMPARED TO THE MARKET --
SO THERE IS
TALK ABOUT GOING TO THE AND
THERE'S AN AND INITIATIVE GOING
TO THE VOTERS -- TWO THOUSAND
AND TWENTY TWO REFORM PROP
THIRTEEN -- I WOULD ENCOURAGE
THE SENATORS TO KEEP THAT IN
MIND -- ANOTHER --
SOLUTION IS EXAMPLE IS THAT
THE CITY OF LONG BEACH APPROVED
A IN AN ORDINANCE LAST YEAR
THAT WOULD CHARGE A FEE ON
ALL VACANT LAND IN OTHER
WORDS IF YOU SIT ON YOUR LAND
THE CITY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR
IT IS A VERY MODEST FEE THAT'S
HIGH TO ADDITIONAL MINUTES
MIRACLE MUNICIPAL SERVICES BUT
ON THE STATE LEVEL I BELIEVE
THAT SOME STATE LEGISLATION --
ADDRESSING THAT WOULD ALSO BE
HELPFUL WE'VE TALKED A
LOT ABOUT DENSITY AND THE FACT
IS THAT WE NEED TO DONE SYFY
OUR -- OUR --
URBAN AREAS --
FOR EXAMPLE THE HOUSING
ELEMENTS LONG STATE LAW --
IDENTIFY THIRTY UNITS PER ACRE
AS THE KIND OF SAFE HARBOR
OF MINIMUM FOR URBAN AREAS
WHERE THIRTY UNITS PER ACRE IS
ESSENTIALLY -- TWO STOREY
WALKUP GARDEN APARTMENTS WHY
NOT GO UP TO SIXTY UNITS PER
ACRE THAT'S WHAT WE REALLY
NEED TO DO -- I WOULD BE
ABOUT THREE TO FOUR STORIES
APARTMENTS ONE NOT GO UP
TO NINETY UNITS PER ACRE IN
THE CANCER -- TRANSIT
-- AXE ACCESSIBLE AREAS
THAT ARE FIVE TO SIX STORIES
AND THAT'S LIKE PUSHING UP
AGAINST THE -- TYPE FIVE
CONSTRUCTION WOOD FRAME
CONSTRUCTION -- IN THESE ARE ALL
I BELIEVE THAT AT LEAST NZ
LEVELS ARE VIABLE AND -- COST
EFFECTIVE SO I'D LIKE TO
TALKING ABOUT YOU KNOW AFTER
TALKING A LITTLE BIT OF THE
SOLUTION I WONDER EMPHASIZE
THAT HE MAKE IT WILL TAKE
DECADES TO CATCH UP WITH OUR
DEMANDS AND ON THE HOUSING
NEEDS AND IN THE MEANWHILE
WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO FIND
AND CRAFT POLICIES THAT DO
NO HARM PARTICULARLY TO
LOW AND MARK AND MINORITY
COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE BORNE
THE BRUNT OF THE NEGATIVE SIDE
EFFECTS OF WELL INTENTIONED OR
NOT SO WELL INTENTIONED URBAN
POLICIES LIKE URBAN RENEWAL
REDEVELOPMENT REDLINING --
AND SO FORTH -- UC
BERKELEY HAS THE ENTIRE
DISPLACEMENT PROJECT IN
THEY HAVE EXPLORED JUST ABOUT
ALL THE POLICIES THAT I HAVE
EVER COME ACROSS AND LIVE
SUMMARIZE THE ON ONE PAGE WITH
FIVE FIVE KIND OF AMAZING SO
THEY HAVE ANTI DISPLACEMENT
POLICIES ARE POLICIES TO
STABILIZE NEIGHBORHOODS AND
POLICIES TO PRESERVE AND FAILED
-- NEW HOUSING AND I'M NOT
GOING TO GO INTO DETAILS --
-- BECAUSE IT'S ALL ONLINE
AND AVAILABLE FOR -- FOR
FOR FOR EVERYONE TO REVIEW
I WOULD LIKE TO CONCLUDE BY
REMINDING EVERYBODY THAT --
IN POLICY GODDESS IN THE DETAILS
AND I'D LIKE TO TAKE TAKES
ABOUT A MINUTE TO TALK ABOUT TWO
EXAMPLES SUPPLY SIDERS GENERALLY
SAY THAT RENT CONTROL IS JUST
ABSOLUTELY A BAD IDEA --
LABELS ACROSS HOUSING PRODUCTION
I THINK YOU REALLY NEED TO LOOK
INTO THE DETAILS FOR EXAMPLE
IN SAN FRANCISCO THE ANNUAL
RENT INCREASES LIMITED TO
SIXTY PERCENT OF THE CONSUMER
PRICE INDEX VERSUS LOS ANGELES
IS THE FULL CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
WITH THE FLOOR OF THREE PERCENT
THESE TWO ORDINANCES BOTH RENT
CONTROL ORDINANCES VERY
DIFFERENT RESULTS IN TERMS OF
TENANT PROTECTIONS AS WELL AS ON
ITS IMPACT ON -- PRODUCTION
HOUSING PRODUCTION RUTGERS
UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR REAL
ESTATE RECENTLY PUBLISHED A
-- RECORD THAT
LOOKS AT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
JURISDICTIONS IN NEW JERSEY
THAT HAVE SOME FORM OF RENT
CONTROL ON IT OR OR ANOTHER
ANY SENSUALLY CONCLUDED THAT --
THAT IS A VERY MIXED BAG DEPENDS
ON THE SERVICE SPECIFICS AND
IMPACTS RENT CONTROL IMPACTS
ON NOT AS DIRE AS SOME SUPPLY
SIDERS WOULD -- LEAD PEOPLE TO
BELIEVE -- SO ENCOURAGING TO OR
YOUR STAFF TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE
SECOND EXAMPLE THE I'D LIKE
TO CONCLUDE WITH IS --
-- MANY
MARGUERITE DEVELOPERS FEEL THAT
PLEASE INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ANY
KIND OF EXACTIONS -- WOULD
HURT SUPPLY AND PRODUCTION
I ALSO THINK IT'S REALLY
DEPENDS ON THE DETAILS FOR
EXAMPLE LOS ANGELES CITY
IMPLEMENTED A LINKAGE FEE THAT
THE CENTURY WOULD BE WOULD
COME UP TO BE ABOUT TWO TO THREE
PERCENT OF TOTAL DEVELOPMENT
COST I THINK SAID AT THOSE KIND
OF PERCENTAGES -- IF A DEVELOPER
CAN'T DEAL WITH THAT COST
SHIFT -- YOU'RE
PROBABLY LOOKING AT THE OTHER
PLACE -- SIR
THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME HERE
TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE --
THOUGHTS AND -- I WILL --
BOB HERE INVITE ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS THANK YOU SO MUCH MISS
LANG SHOWINGS VERY VERY GRATEFUL
FOR A PRESENTATIONS TODAY WOULD
LIKE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN UP
TO THE COMMITTEE THAT TURNED
OVER TERM BALANCE IN OUR MORAL
GROWN OF COURSE
AND -- REACTING TO
THE PREVIOUS --
L. A. CONCEPT WAS OWNING
AND HOW THEY'RE DOING THIS
KIND OF ZONING AND REDUCING --
OUR TIMELINE ON THE --
DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS --
I I AGREE THAT THE PRODUCT
YOU KNOW I USED TO BE A PLAN
ARE WORKING FOR THE CITY LIKE
LONG LONG LONG TIME AGO
ADD AND THE PROCESS WAS MUCH
FASTER OKAY SO QUITE FRANKLY AND
-- HAS THE PROCESS
GOTTEN WORSE AND WORSE AND
WORSE RESERVISTS COMPLEXITY
HOW LONG IT TAKES --
AND HAVE WE PAID A PRICE FOR
THAT THAT'S THE QUESTION I MEAN
IS THERE WAY WE CAN -- REALLY
HONESTLY LOOK AT JUST DOING
THINGS MORE SIMPLER AND FASTER
-- OBSERVING YOU KNOW SOME
OF OUR BASIC --
LAWS THAT WE WANT TO HAVE IN
TERMS OF GOOD PLAN GOOD QUALITY
PLANNING URBAN PLANNING AT
THE SAME TIME STREAMLINED OUR
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESSES
QUESTION AND WHAT'S THE
DRESS AND YOU HAVE FOR THAT
THAT'S A GREAT OBSERVATION AND
I HAVING BEEN A FORMER DEVELOPER
AYE AYE HANG OR STAND HOW YOU
KNOW AND REMEMBER AT THE TIME
SOME I WHINE AND GRIPE ABOUT
THE PROCESS -- I DO THINK
THAT -- IS CHANGING FOR THE
BETTER FOR EXAMPLE ON THE
STATE LEVEL THE SB THIRTY FIVE
HAS MADE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT A LITTLE EASIER
-- THE REALITY IS THAT
-- IT IS VERY HARD TO --
REFORM SEQUEL -- I WAS
PART OF -- A GROUP
OF PEOPLE WHO NEGOTIATED --
A SEQUEL A CHANGE IN TWO
THOUSAND AND ONE -- THAT
EXEMPTS CERTAIN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROJECT FROM SECRET
REVEALED IN THE SEQUEL LÀ ITSELF
AND THAT CAME WITH FOURTEEN
CONDITIONS AND EVEN IF YOU MEET
THOSE FOURTEEN CONDITIONS YOU
CAN GO TO GET THE EXEMPTION
-- WHICH IS REALLY NO WAY THERE
THAT WAS THE BEST WE COULD GET
BUT IT WAS NO WAY
TO -- TO BUSINESS
THE FACT IS THAT THERE IS
THE THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN
STREAM IN A STREAMLINING CHANGES
HAVE TO DEAL WITH DEFINING
CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT AS MINISTER
FOR MINISTERIAL MEETING YOU AND
IN A BACK DOOR WAY --
ALLOW CERTAIN PROJECTS TO GO
THROUGH -- -- TO SIDESTEP
THE FULL SECRET PROCESS
AND I THINK THAT SB FIFTY
THIRTY FIVE IS A IS A GREAT
STEP TOWARDS THE RIGHT
DIRECTION ON IT COULD BE
MORE AGGRESSIVE SO FOR EXAMPLE
RIGHT NOW IT'S REALLY ONLY USE
OF USE FOR -- HUNDRED PERCENT
OF OUR HOUSING PROJECT BECAUSE
THERE'S A FIFTY PERCENT
AFFORDABLE THRESHOLD IN THERE
DROPPING IT DOWN TO TWENTY
FIVE WITH I THINK --
HELPS SOME FOR PROFIT MARKET
MADE DEVELOPERS BE ABLE TO
-- DEVELOP A TO DELIVER
MARKET RATE HOUSING WYO
DELIVERING A QUARTER FOR
UNITS AS A PORTABLE CORRECT
OKAY ON
-- SO I FIGURED JONES
PROBABLY GO FIRST WITH
THE -- THE KNOWLEDGE OF
APPROVAL PROCESS SEES AS
A ACTUAL DEVELOPER AT SOME
POINT IN LIFE -- BY --
MY REACT ONE REACTION AYE
AYE AYE HOW TO THAT IS TO ACT AS
I HAD TO THAT IS YES I
YOU KNOW FROM WHAT I HEAR FROM
WHO I TALKED TO -- THIS IS
NOT A PERFECT REPRESENTATIVE
SAMPLE IN THE PLANNING AND
DEVELOPMENT WORLD IN LOS ANGELES
FIVE IS A SAMPLE NONE THE LESS
THINGS ARE BETTER
IN TERMS OF OF OF THE APPROVAL
PROCESS -- AS A RESULT
OF SEVERAL OF THE LOCAL STATE
AND LOCAL -- MEASURES THAT
WE'VE DISCUSSED SO FAR --
AND THAT YOU KNOW IT SEEMS TO
BE ON THE MARKET PLACE AND I'M
NOT AND THE AFFORDABLE OF SIDE
-- THE YOU KNOW THE THE
CABBIE OUT I HAVE TWO THAT
ARE ANOTHER REACTION HAS TO
THAT IS THAT IS THAT YOU KNOW
IN THE THE BALK OF OUR
AFFORDABILITY PROBLEMS IS
PROBABLY NOT IN THE COST
OF DEVELOP MORE IN
THE PRICE OF LAND AS A AS
OPPOSED TO THE PRICE OF LAND
DRIVE AND SO SPEEDING UP
WE DO NOT OUR HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT IS CERTAINLY
IMPORTANT -- BUT IT DOESN'T DO
MUCH TO -- UNLOCK YOU
KNOW THE POTENTIAL FOR FOR
MORE HOUSING MORE HOUSING
HIGH -- AND --
-- AS AS MUCH AS KIND OF
THINGS THAT WE CAN DO ABOUT
-- ACTUAL LAND AVAILABILITY
SO LIKE YOUR ARM
WHEN I WAS A CITY COUNCIL
MEMBER AND SALAS -- GOOD FOR
FOURTEEN YEARS I HAD
A DISTRICT HAD NOT THE PRETTY
MUCH HAD BEEN DEVELOPED
OUT WE HAVE SOME SITES
AND WE WORKED HARD TO
DEVELOP SITES FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND DEVELOPED --
THANK TWELVE SITES AND --
DISTRICT OKAY DISTRICT ABOUT
A HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE
WE ARE EVERYBODY HAD --
THERE IS TEN DISTRICTS SOME
OF THE DISTRICTS DURING THE
SAME TIME I WAS A COUNSELOR
HAS NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
BUILT IN THEIR DISTRICT EVEN
THOUGH THEY MIGHT HAVE AND I
HAD THE PROBABLY ONE OF THE
LEAST AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE LAND
SO I THINK THERE'S
THERE'S SOME
MY FEELING IS -- THERE'S
SERVICE HE FOR DEVELOPERS
EVEN GET STARTED THEIR TOLL NOW
AND JOHN YOU WERE DEVELOPER
YOUR GRIEF THAT GETS
ON THE ROPERS WHEN THEY
COME IN THE POLITICAL
ENVIRONMENT YOU'RE TOLD NOW
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO IS
YES IT REALLY DEPENDS ON
THE JURISDICTION -- I THINK
THAT EARLY CITY HAS GOTTEN
A LOT MORE RESPONSIVE AND
A LOT BETTER BUT IT ALSO
EVEN YOU KNOW THE CITY HANDS
ON THE DISTRICT DEPENDS
ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO --
IN THE END I THINK THAT YOU
KNOW WE HAVE WHAT ABOUT FOUR
HUNDRED PLUS JURISDICTIONS IN
CALIFORNIA -- IN THE END I
THINK THAT THE STATE TO TAKE
LEADERSHIP THERE'S ALWAYS THIS
ISSUE ABOUT YOU KNOW STATE
MANDATE VERSUS LOCAL CONTROL AND
I FEEL THAT FOR YOU KNOW WE'VE
BEEN FORTY YEARS NOT SELLING
ENOUGH TO PROVIDE HOUSING
FOR OUR POPULATION AND --
ON OR NOT ON THE LOCAL LEVEL
-- SO I THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT THAT THE STATE TAKE
SOME CONTROL HERE TAKE SOME PICS
TAKE TAX THE RAIN NOW TAX THE
TAX LEADERSHIP NOW SO FOR
EXAMPLE LAST YEAR SB EIGHT
TWENTY SEVEN -- WAS A
I DON'T THINK IT EVEN CAME OUT
OF COMMITTEE -- BUT IT'S GOING
TO COME BACK THIS COMING LATER
AND I I BELIEVE THAT WE
CAN HAVE OUR CAKE AND EAT IT
TOO I BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN
INCREASE THE SUPPLY OF ZONING
CAPACITY YOU CAN INCREASE
LEARNING FACETTI INCREASE THE
SUPPLY OF HOUSING AND
PROTECT ME HONORABLE POPULATIONS
FROM BEING DISPLACED --
THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF ALL
LIKE IF YOU HAVE SOME AREAS
WERE ELECTED OFFICIALS
LIKE MYSELF WHEN I WAS
A COUNCIL MEMBER AND
NO I DID OF COURSE IS A
POLITICIAN LOOK AT THE ISSUE
OF WHAT FOR MY COMMUNITY THAT
I WAS RUNNING AND WAS GOING
TO DO FIVE ORDER FOR THESE
PROJECTS BY THE SAME TIME ARE A
I WAS KIND OF HARD HEADED AND
I WANTED TO BUILD AFFORDABLE
HOUSING SO JUST MOVE THE
WITH THE PROJECTS --
AND -- OF COURSE I NEVER
HAD IN OPPOSITION WHEN I
RAN FOR REELECTION SO
I GUESS SO YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M GOING THROUGH NOW
TWENTY ELECTIONS SO NO
OF SOUL SPEAKING FROM
THAT EXPERIENCE --
I THINK THAT THERE'S SOME
PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT
TO APPROVE THESE BECAUSE
THEY'RE AFRAID OF WHAT ARE
BACKLASH FOR THE VOTERS AND
-- I THINK IT'S A REAL ISSUE --
HOWEVER I ALSO AGREE WITH --
RESTAURANTS THAT THERE'S
A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF --
SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUES INVOLVED
HERE MAYBE CONSTITUTIONAL
DISCRIMINATION ISSUES OF BECAUSE
I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S SOME
-- REASONS WHY PEOPLE DON'T WANT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THEIR
COMMUNITIES -- BASED ON
ECONOMIC RACIAL ISSUES --
IS THERE A WAY OF PROTECTING
OUR PEOPLE FROM BEING
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST LAND
-- DECISION MAKERS WAY AND
DRUGS WHETHER TO APPROVE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND DO YOU
HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON OF
LAWS THAT WE CAN DO TO INSURE
THAT SOCIAL JUSTICE IS ACHIEVED
ONLY APPROVAL FOR A POINT WHERE
APPROVED LAND USE DECISIONS
ARE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF THAT
KIND OF -- ASPECT USED TO BE
WHEN I WAS A PLANNER THAT WE
WERE NOT ALLOWED TO CONSIDER THE
VALUE OF THE PROPERTY --
INCREASE THE ECONOMIC -- IMPACT
-- ON A NEIGHBORHOOD
IF A PARTICULAR LAND USE WAS
A WAS PROPOSAL IS TO BE BASED
ON LAND USE LONG
VALUES THAT WERE IN THE
COMMUNITIES GENERAL PLAN A
GIRL PLAN WAS SUPPOSED TO
INCLUDE A HOUSING ELEMENT
THE HOUSING ELEMENT WHICH WAS
IDENTIFIED THE NEED FOR HOUSING
BUT A LOT OF THE HOUSING
ELEMENT SINCE IT HAD A
MANDATORY ELEMENT TO IT WAS
IN A LOT OF WORK THE GOALS
WERE REACHED SO I'M ASKING
YOU THESE QUESTIONS --
WHAT WE CAN DO IN TERMS OF
STATE STATUTES ON THIS ISSUE
YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS TRUE I
THINK THAT -- IT'S A VERY RICH
-- PARKLAND AND THERE ARE
AT LEAST FOUR COMPONENTS -- TO
WHAT YOU JUST SAID ONE HAS DEAL
WITH WHAT PROTECTING EXISTING
-- RESIDENTS YOU'RE THE ONE
YOUNG IS CREATING OPPORTUNITIES
FOR FUTURE RESIDENTS LIVE
IN A PROCESS THAT SHOES SOCIAL
DRESSES RIGHT NOT THE RIGHT
I DON'T BELIEVE BELIEVE IN
A PROCESS STILL I BELIEVE
WE SHOULD HAVE PUBLIC ENGAGE
AND EMPOWER MATTER PEOPLE
BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT
IF WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS THAT
GOES COUNTER SOCIAL FORCES
THAT'S THAT'S -- THAT'S AGAINST
WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GOING
RIGHT SO -- PROTECTING
EXISTING RESIDENTS --
SERVER -- NEW
IF YOU'RE RESIDENTS AND --
ENFORCING CURRENT LOS
AND CHANGING LOS
SURPRISING FRANKLY THERE ARE
THERE THERE WOULD BE A LOT
OF FLAWS IN THE BOOKS LIKE
FAIR HOUSING THAT ENFORCED
WORD GOAL QUITE A WAYS TO
HELPING -- -- RESIDENTS
BE MORE STABLE AND MORE
SECURE IN THEIR IN THEIR HOMES
-- SO LEAVE THE IMPLEMENTATION
AND ENFORCEMENT OF CURRENT LAWS
WE CAN VERY IMPORTANT RIGHT
NOW IT'S VERY HAPHAZARD REALLY
DEPENDS ON THE JURISDICTION
WHETHER THEY WANT AND FORCE
THING CHRIS EXISTING LAWS AND
NOT -- I BELIEVE THAT
YOU KNOW IN TERMS OF CHANGES
IN THE LAWS THAT -- TO PROTECT
CURRENT RESIDENCE IS THAT ON
WITH THE DEMISE OF PROP TEN I
HOPE THAT THE LEGISLATURE WE'LL
EXPLORE NEXT YEAR SOME
AMENDMENTS TO THE COSTA HAWKINS
LONG -- IN THAT
COULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE --
OPENING UP THE POSSIBILITY RENT
CONTROL -- ARE SINGLE FAMILY
HOMES FOR THE REALITY IS THAT
SINCE THE TWENTY THREE YEARS
WHEN COSTA HAWKINS WITH PASSED
THE ROLE OF SINGLE FAMILY FAMILY
HOMES FOR AS HELPFUL HOMEOWNERS
HAS TOTALLY CHANGED YOU NOW
HAVE A VERY SUBSTANTIAL
PERCENTAGE OF THE ON SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES ON THAT A RENTER
OCCUPIED SIR -- --
THAT'S THAT'S A LONG THAT
SHOULD BE CHANGED ROLLING --
MAKING THE -- BUILDING AGE OF
FOR RENT CONTROL OF ROLLING
-- -- YEAR RATHER THAN JUST
FIX FIX IN NINETEEN NINETY
FIVE IS ANOTHER -- IMPROVEMENT
AMENDMENTS THAT SHOULD BE
EXPLORED -- LOOKING AND
THEY CAN SEE CONTROLS NOT
COMPLETE VACANCY CONTROLLED
BUT MAYBE VACANCY CONTROL
THAT HAS A CAP ON IT
BURGER DROPPING
ALONG AS WE SPEAK
-- BUT STILL I WOULD SAY
THAT THAT WOULD PROTECT
-- EXISTING YOU KNOW I JUST
CONTRADICTION AND SOME OF
REFORM TO COSTA HAWKINS
WOULD HELP CURRENT TENANTS
QUITE A BIT -- DISPLACEMENT
REMEDIES AND -- THAT --
-- THAT WOULD HELP STABILIZE
NEIGHBORHOODS AND -- --
IT AS WELL AS PRESERVE AND
BUILD NEW HOUSING YOU AFFORDABLE
HOUSING -- I I WOULD SAY
THE THERE OVER THE LAST
NUMBER OF YEARS YOU KNOW
WE HAVE SEEN STATE LAW --
TRYING TO STIMULATE HOUSING
PRODUCTION AND INCLUDING
CERTAIN ANTI DISPLACEMENT
MEASURES AND ALREADY SO THE
QUESTION IS REALLY MOVING
THOSE FOR WORK RATHER THAN
AND MAKE IT HAPPEN THIS
THIS LEGISLATIVE YEAR
COMING OUT ARE COMING UP
-- IN THE I THINK IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT HOW
TO TO PROCEED WITH THE
WELL I WOULD ECHO CERTAINLY WHAT
JONES SAID OF OF HOUSING LAW IN
PARTICULAR -- YOU KNOW THEY'RE
THEY'RE MADE IN MAY BE WAYS FOR
THE STATE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
LEADERSHIP ON THIS -- THAT
THAT -- YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S
A BIT OF A VACUUM FROM FROM
THE FEDERAL AGENCIES ON THAT
AT THE MOMENT -- I WOULD ADD
AND WE WE'RE NOT REALLY TALKING
SO MUCH ABOUT THE OF HOUSING
VOUCHERS -- EXACT KIND OF ONE
OF SUBSTANCE YOU'RE TALKING
MORE ABOUT HOUSES PRODUCTION BY
YOU KNOW THE SOURCE OF INCOME
LOSS OUR OUR OUR WAY TO
PROTECT -- HOUSING VOUCHER
HOLDERS AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
AND MICHAEL MARKETS -- AND
YOU KNOW THERE'S A A LARGE
ISSUE IN THAT PROGRAM WITH
-- THE ABILITY OF PEOPLE TO
USE THOSE VOUCHERS IN A IN
A DIVERSITY OF PLACES --
THE SHORT STORIES LANDLORDS
OFTEN ARE YOUNG DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST PEOPLE WITH THAT
SOURCES OF FUNDING FOR HOUSING
AND -- YEAH IT'S IT'S VERY
PIECEMEAL ACROSS THE STATE
AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN
TERMS OF JURISDICTIONS THAT
THE WORKING NOT PROTECT --
-- DOCTOR HOLDERS AGAINST
THAT KIND OF DISCRIMINATION
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THAT
COMES TO MIND -- ON THAT TOPIC
IS HERE MISTER MOORE LÀ AT THE
THANK YOU MISS HER I I
ONLY HAVE ONE GOD IN THE
AND -- IS THE
IDEA OF HIGHER DENSITY
AND SO IN MY DISTRICT I
HAVE A CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
AND A DEVELOPER DECIDED
TO PURCHASE PROPERTY
FROM THE LOCAL ART MUSEUM
AND -- THEY WERE GOING TO THE
BILL THE TWENTY FIVE STORY
ONE HUNDRED UNIT CONDOMINIUM
COMPLEX ON THAT PROPERTY AND IT
WOULD HELP THE MUSEUM AS WELL
-- IT -- MET ALL OF THE CODE
AND SO -- THE CITY COUNCIL
FELT THAT IT COULD NOT VOTE
AGAINST IT ALTHOUGH THE
COMMUNITY WAS IN A MASSIVE
UPROAR SO WHEN SENATOR BELL
SAYS HE'S APPROVED AS A COUNCIL
MEMBER CERTAIN PROJECTS AND
HE DIDN'T HAVE A CHALLENGER
I WOULD CALL HIM LUCKY
BECAUSE I'M NOT
JIM DON'T THEY GET
BUT WE JUST FINISHED ELECTION
THIS IS NOVEMBER AND TO --
TO THOSE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FOR WORK WORK WORK WORK OFF
THAT IN THERE ARE -- READY
JUST TO TERMS ANYWAY BUT IT
CREATED SUCH A JUROR --
IN FACT PETITION DRIVES AND
RECALL DRIVES AND ONE OF THE
GUYS OF THE CUSTOMERS THAT
JUST LAST NOVEMBER SURVIVOR
RECALL ATTEMPTS SO I GIVE YOU
ALL THAT FLAVOR TO SAY WELL
YOU KNOW THIS IS A POLITICS OF
LAND USE IT IS GETTING
MORE SENSITIVE -- IN SOME
WONDERING IF YOU'VE DONE
RESEARCH I RECALL IT NEVER
THE IS A PERHAPS BUT -- JUST
JUST THE REGULAR POPULACE IS
GETTING -- FRUSTRATED
I I'M I'M WATCHING POLITICAL
MOVEMENTS AND OTHER CITY OF
MY DISTRICT ARE HUNTINGTON
BEACH WHICH IS A BILL IN A
LOT OF FIVE STORY APARTMENT
BUILDINGS AND I'M STARTING THE
CENTER REAL PUSH BACK WHERE THE
RESIDENTS ARE SAYING WE DON'T
WANT TO ELECT COUNCILMEMBERS
ANYMORE THAT APPROVED THIS
TYPE OF EVIDENCE THESE I DON'T
KNOW WHERE IT IS THE REST
LIKE ONLY OBSERVER TO YOU KNOW
OBVIOUSLY HAPPENING IN MY OWN
DISTRICT BUT I I JUST AM
CURIOUS ABOUT THE POLITICS
OF IT ALL -- HOW DO YOU CAN
DANCE SUCH AS THE CITY COUNCIL
BUT YOU WOULD CONVINCE THE L.
COMMUNITY THAT IT'S TIME TO
MAKE CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS TO HOW
THE LANDSCAPE WORKS AND WHAT
NEEDS TO BE PUT IN WHAT WE
WERE YOU REFERRED TO IS VACANT
LAND -- OR WORSE
WE FIND PROJECTS FOR YOU JUST
COMPLETELY TEAR DOWN AND REBUILD
SO YOU'RE ALREADY IN A YOU KNOW
SORT OF IN THE SUMMER MOST I
I JUST SURE THAT IS SORT OF A
OBSERVATIONS AND WONDERING
HOW HOW YOU MOVE IT FORWARD
TO TO PROTECT COUNCIL MEMBERS
WHO PROBABLY ONE OF FALL LAW
I WANT TO BE HELPFUL WANT
TO DEAL WITH THE NEED TO
REALIZE THAT IT MIGHT BE ONE
VOTE THAT WILL ACTUALLY COST
THEM THE REAL ACTION
SO I MEAN YOU KNOW
WITH THE CAVEAT THAT --
I'M FAR FROM THE MOST
-- POLITICALLY ASTUTE
PERSON IN THIS ROOM -- BUT
EIGHT YOU KNOW FIRST
THE PIECE ABOUT PROTECTING
COUNCIL MEMBERS I MEAN A
RADICAL BUT TO THE LOGICAL
SOLUTION THERE IS TAKING
THE PATH TAKING SOME OF THE
POWER AWAY FROM THAT COUNCIL
NUMBER RIGHT -- RIGHT NOW
SOMETHING GETS BILLS IN ON
YOUR BLOCK OR TWO BLOCKS
AWAY IF SOMETHING GETS TORN
DOWN YOU GO TO YOUR COUNCIL
PERSON YOU KNOW THAT THEY'VE
GOT A LOT OF POWER TO APPROVE
OR DENY -- THIS KIND OF ACTIVITY
-- AND THERE ARE THE SOURCE
OF OF YOUR EYE AND AS
YOU MENTIONED ELECTIONS GET
LOST RECALLS HAPPEN --
YOU KNOW FROM THINGS LIKE
FROM FROM THINGS LIKE THAT IF
AT LEAST SOME OF THAT
POWER IS TO USE TO
-- YOU KNOW NOT SOLELY
IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE BY
YOU KNOW MOVED AROUND A LITTLE
THAT -- TO WEAR THAT THAT
CITY COUNCIL PERSONS NOT THE
DIRECT TARGET EVERY TIME IN
THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MIGHT
BE YOU KNOW IN IN AN INFLATION
FACTOR PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO
GIVE UP POWER BUT IT MIGHT
BE A CIRCUMSTANCE IN WHICH
HE -- THE ACTION OF
GIVING UP THAT POWER MIGHT
ACTUALLY HELP YOU IT'S A --
COVERED WITH A FULL WELL YOU
KNOW EVERYTHING IT'S POLITICAL
FEEL LIKE YOU YOU WE KNOW WHAT
THE GOAL IS WE KNOW WHAT OUR
NEEDS ARE BUT WE ALSO HAVE
A POPULOUS STATE IS SAYING
THEY MIGHT EVEN AGREE KILL
IS THAT WE DON'T LIKE IT I
I AM I'M DEALING WITH THE
CITY AND MAYBE THE BIGGER
SETTING -- I HAVE
MENTAL HOSPITALS MY DISTRICT
BUT WHEN WE PROPOSE A MENTAL
HOSPITAL AND IT'S ON THE
AGENDA FOR THE CITY COUNCIL THE
RESIDENTS BUILT APOPLECTIC
VISIT WE DON'T WANT A MENTAL
HOSPITAL BUT THEY DON'T EVEN
KNOW THAT THERE'S ONE JUST DOWN
THE STREET THEY WOULD EVEN KNOWS
THAT IT'S ALREADY THERE THEY'RE
READY THEY'RE SO THERE'S THIS
PERCEPTION EDUCATION PROBLEMS
WERE SAYING YOU KNOW IT YEAH
MENTAL HOSPITAL WOULD BE
UNOBTRUSIVE WOULD BE YOU WOULD
EVEN KNOW IT WAS THERE YOU TO
YOU KNOW BUT NOT IS AND AND
OBVIOUSLY THE BIG ISSUE NOW IS
A HOMELESS SHELTER YOU KNOW I
TRY TO BUY TO DISABILITIES WHEN
I WAS A COUNTY SUPERVISOR TO
BUILD TWO HUNDRED BEDROOM BAD
SHELTERS AND THE CITY COUNCIL
WERE INUNDATED WITH RESIDENTS
AND IS THIS PERCEPTION PAYING
AND AND AND AND AND AND THEY
COME AS IT'S TOO CLOSE TO
A SCHOOL BUT YET THE ARMORY
WHERE WE HOUSE THE MIDDLE
LETTER IS RIGHT NEXT TO A
SCHOOL THAT YOUR OFFENSE
WE'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM SO
-- YOU KNOW IT I'M JUST
TRYING TO MAYBE FOR MYSELF
PROFESSORS IS IS HOW DO I
HOW DO WE HELP LOCAL
ELECTED LEADERS DO WHAT THEY
NEED TO DO UNDERSTANDING
THAT THE NEED FOR MORE HOUSING
BUT ALSO BALANCING THAT WITH
THE FLAVOR OF THEIR COMMUNITIES
RIGHT DISCOGRAPHY ONE EXAMPLE
WE CAN SEND YOUR BELT AT A
BILL WE'RE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
DO SOMETHING FOR EVERY COUNTY
OVER MARIN COUNTY WAS EXCLUDED
AND THOSE LIKE ALWAYS ACT YOU
KNOW WE WE WOULD BE WORTH A FAIR
GOVERNOR BILL YOU DID IT WITH
YOUR BILL BUT ANYWAY OFFICE
SORRY SORRY SORRY SIR
BUT WE HAD A BILL YEARS THOSE
OVER OFFICE AND WE HAD TO
DO SOMETHING ALL FORCE ALL
LOCAL AGENCIES TO DO I
CERTAINLY CERTAINLY GO FOR
THAT THAT'S WHY IT WASN'T
ALL I APOLOGIZE
SENATE OKAY
SIR AND DIDN'T WANT
TO BUILD SIR I DID NOT
I APOLOGIZE IF THERE MIGHT
BACK IN TWO THOUSAND AND FIFTEEN
I REMEMBER THAT I DON'T LIKE
IT I DON'T LIKE IT EITHER BUT
I APOLOGIZE FOR OPENING THAT BUT
I JUST YEAH SAY HEY HOW DO WE
BECAUSE WE GOT A LEAD BUT WE'VE
ALSO GOT EVERY REPRESENTING
OUR CONSTITUENTS ABSOLUTELY
YES I DO HAVE A QUICK THOUGHT
ON THAT AND I THINK THERE'S A
STREAM IS A CONSISTENCY TO
SOME OF THESE -- THESE TARGETS
REALLY YOU KNOW WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HOW LARGE TOWERS --
HOMELESSNESS SELF SHELTERS FOR
PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS
-- MENTAL HOSPITALS LIKE THEY
ARE THEY ARE MUCH MORE
VISIBLE AN OBVIOUS TARGETS AND
YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT SENATOR
YOU YOU FRAME DID VERY WELL I
MEAN PEOPLE ALL DAY REACTED
VERY STRONGLY TO THE NEW THING
BUT THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT
A OLDER VERSION OF THAT THING
IS SITTING RIGHT THERE AND
NOT BOTHERING -- SO TO
ME IT'S IT'S IN PART OF THE
BALLOT LIKE THE SIZE OF THE
VISIBILITY AND AND YOU KNOW
AS AS JONES WAS TALKING
ABOUT I MEAN YOU KNOW WE
CAN WE CAN REALLY INCREASE
THE -- THAT WE DEVELOP
THE AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL HOUSING
-- WITH OUT ALWAYS RELYING
ON A BIG CART RIGHT WE CAN WE
DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO DOESN'T
ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A LARGE CONDO
TOWER -- IF WE HAD MORE
LAND THAT WAS YOU KNOW --
ACCESSIBLE FOR YOU KNOW TWO
TO FOUR FAMILY DEVELOPMENT
-- AS YOU'VE GOT THIRTY
UNITS IN ACRE SIXTEENS MAKER
DOES NOW THOSE ARE STILL BIG
POLITICAL FIVE I I YOU KNOW
I'M NOT PRETENDING THAT THAT'S
NOTHING BUT LIKE YOUR PEOPLE
CAN MARCH I THINK MUCH MORE
EASILY ORGANIZE AROUND THIS IS
VERY SCARY TALIBAN ON
THE FUSION OF YOUR MORE
SMALLER THINGS AROUND MORE
SPACES THE US OPEN HERE
ARE ARE YOU TOTALLY
FEEL YOUR PAIN AN AS A
AS A PREVIOUS LOCAL ELECTED
OFFICIALS MY EXPERIENCE WITH
-- LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS
WHO WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING
IN TERMS OF YOUR OWN CENTER
HOUSING AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS
THAT THEY LOOK FOR FOLKS TO
HANG THEIR HATS ON TO SEE IF
THEY COULD SAY WHAT WHAT THE
STATE SAYS THIS AND WE CAN YOU
KNOW THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO GET
WE HAVE NOT MET OUR GREENER
PRODUCTION NUMBERS WE HAVE TO DO
SO YOU TO TO TO
THERE ARE MORE STATE HOAX THE
LOCAL LIKE OFFICIALS CAN HANG
THEIR HATS ON I THINK THAT
THAT WOULD HELP ON THAT COULD
MEAN SOMETHING LIKE FOR EXAMPLE
INCREASING THE SITE INVENTORY
-- COUNTS -- HOUSING
ELEMENT ALL I KNOW THAT HAS
RECENTLY BEEN IMPROVED UPON
BUT THE REALITY IS THAT --
AS A DEVELOPER HI
MAKE LIKE ME YOU KNOW I MAKE IT
WOULD MAKE FIVE TO TEN OFFERS
BEFORE I GET ONE DEAL VERY
WE NEED TO CREATE A LOT MORE
ZONING CASTING LAND IN ORDER TO
YOU KNOW OPEN UP BY
HOUSING PRODUCTION DOOR IT
COULD BE -- CHANGING THE
MINIMUM DENSITY IN URBAN AREAS
UNDER HOUSING ELEMENT LONG
COULD BE ANY OF THOSE THINGS
HOOKS TO HANG THEIR HATS ON
THE SECOND THING IS THAT I
THINK THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER
SOME RULES THAT WOULD ALLOW
THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD TO
SHARE IN SOME OF THE INCREASED
PROPERTY VALUES PROPERTY TAX
REVENUES OF THE NEW NEW
PROJECT IF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
WANTS THE BIKE LANE BUT
HASN'T HAPPENED IN TEN YEARS
YOU KNOW ON A PERSONAL A SMALL
PERCENTAGE OF THAT INCREASED
TAX REVENUES COULD GO TOWARDS
PAYING FOR THE BIKE LANE FOR A
POCKET PARK IN YOU NEED
I DON'T WANT TO SOUND CYNICAL
YOU SHOW SOME LIKE SHINY OBJECT
TO A CHILD IN THE CHOPPER
JUST PAY ATTENTION TO THAT
INSTEAD OF YOU KNOW WHAT HE
OR SHE MIGHT BE YOU KNOW --
CRYING FOR -- AND --
SO SOME SOME VERY VERY
MODEST REVENUE SHARING MIGHT BE
AT HAND -- ALLOWING THE LOCAL
NEIGHBORS TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS
ABOUT HOW THE MONEY COULD BE
USED -- I THINK PSYCHOLOGICALLY
COULD BE A VERY MEANINGFUL
CHECKING -- AT THE BOTTOM
LINE IS IF WE JUST NEED
MORE EDUCATION AND MORE --
WE NEED MORE EDUCATION WORK
DISTRICT AND SEE LOOK LIKE
I THINK THAT YOU KNOW WHEN
THE CHALLENGE WITH A YEAR
WITH THE VOTERS AND RESIDENTS
IS THAT WE ALL HAVE BUSY
LIVES WE TEND TO NOT PAY
ATTENTION TO ANYTHING UNTIL
SOMETHING IS RIGHT IN FRONT
OF US AND THAT'S THE PROJECT
A HOUSING PROJECT PROPOSAL --
TO THE EXTENT THAT WE DO MORE
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT -- SPEND
MORE TIME TALKING ABOUT YOU
KNOW WHAT THE VISION
OF THE CITY SHOULD BE -- I
THINK THAT IN TAKE THE
TAKE THE EDUCATION TO THE
HELLO -- IT'S TIME
CONSUMING IT'S EXPENSIVE
BUT I JUST DON'T SEE ANY WAY
AROUND BUILDING -- SUPPORT
FOR -- HOUSING PRODUCTION
THEY'RE MORE LIKE THIS AT TWENTY
A QUICK LIKE IN ROOM FIVE THAT
WORKS FOR YOU -- COUPLE THE
U. S. ANNUALLY -- WHEN YOU GET
TORNADOES PANEL ON IN AND ASK
FOR A AND NOT AT ALL TRYING
TO THE JONES FARM IS FIGHTING
AROUND LIKE THIS SOME QUICK ON
IT WITH OUR DISCUSSION TODAY
ABOUT SHORT TERM RENTALS AND HOW
THAT'S IMPACTED GENTRIFICATION
AND OR JUST A LACK OF HOUSING
THREE LANES SIXTY SECONDS
YOU'RE TALKING SHORT TERM
RENTALS I THINK THAT ARE
-- IN SOME COMMUNITIES
CERTAINLY -- THERE'S A VERY
THE RESEARCH SAYS THAT
-- IS IS PRETTY NEW ON THIS
BIKE IS COMING OUT THAT
WILL THERE FIND SOME YOU
KNOW SMALL BUT MEANINGFUL
AFFECTS ARE AND YOU KNOW
-- INCREASED RUNS YOU KNOW
AS A RESULT OF SHORT TERM
RENTALS TAKING RIGHT RENTAL
PROPERTIES OFF MARKET I THINK
THAT I I BET
THERE IS A MUCH SMALLER NUMBER
OF COMMUNITIES YOU KNOW THAT
ARE TRULY IN PACKAGE IN THIS
IS TRULY A FACTOR BUT
IN THOSE YOU KNOW HIGH VOLUME
COMMUNITIES THE SAN DIEGO POINT
REYES AND MARIA RIGHT A LOT OF
COASTAL AREAS THAT HAVE HIGH
NUMBERS THAT'S GONNA IMPACTED
NEIGHBORHOODS OR READING
SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND I I MEAN
I THINK THERE ARE REGULATORY
RESPONSES THAT THAT CAN THAT
CERTAINLY CAN KIND OF LIMIT
THAT THOSE NUMBERS THAT THAT
MAKES FROM TWENTY --
SHORT TERM RENTALS
I THINK THAT --
INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS
OR RENTERS SHOULD HAVE
THE ABILITY TO RENT OUT A
PORTION OF THEIR HOMES TO
FOR -- SHORT TERM RENTAL OF
PURPOSES BUT I THINK THAT
FOR IS THIS IS OR CLEVELAND
MOM AND POP BUSINESSES THAT YOU
KNOW HARLAN APARTMENT BUILDING
OR ON A COLLECTION OF APARTMENTS
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM
-- REGULAR RENTALS TO SHORT TERM
RENTALS REALLY SHOULD BE
-- CONSTRAINT ANY COULD BE
SOMETHING TO THE FACT THAT YOU
KNOW ONLY SIXTY TO NINETY DAYS
-- A YEAR CAN YOU RENT OUT
EIGHTH EIGHTEEN FULL APARTMENT A
HEALTH THE WHOLE APARTMENT
-- FOR SHORT SHORT TERM PURPOSE
OUR QUICK INTERN BACON SEE
CONTROL THEY COVER TRIED IT OUT
WITH -- AT A COUNTRY INVESTORS
OR COMMON NAME SINGULAR MINING
DEPARTMENTS SUCKED UP A LOT
OF THE THE AIR IN REGARDS TO
-- MORE AFFORDABLE MARKET
RATE INCREASE THE MARKET
WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHT ON THAT
YOU KNOW WE HEARD ABOUT LONG
BEACH AND PUTTING -- I SEE
I AND -- ON THE VACANT LAND
VANCOUVER PUTTING -- THOSE
VACANCY CONTROLS AND FOR MAKING
APARTMENTS AND CONDOMINIUMS
SIXTY SECOND FOR ME TO YOU
JOHN ONE COULD CAUSE OFF IS
AT WORK SORT OF BEING A FIRST
OF ALL RENT CONTROL NEEDS AT
PARTICULARLY VACANCY CONTROL
HAS TO BE CONTENT WITH JUST
CAUSING IF YOU HAVE ONE
WITHOUT THE OTHER DOESN'T
GOT -- SECOND THING IS THAT
-- WITH REGARD TO VACANCY
CONTROL I THINK THAT --
THERE IS A HAPPY MEDIUM
THERE ARE PERHAPS NOT FOR
VACANCY CONTROLLED FOR EIGHT
A WAY TO COME HOME
AND RESTRICT THE AMOUNT OF STEP
UP MEANT WHEN CREE STUFF
UP AS THEY CAN SEE SO MAYBE
INSTEAD OF HAVING UNLIMITED
YOU KNOW AND RESTRICTING THE
RENT TO THE THE SAME WHEN WHEN
THERE'S A TURN OVER TO SAY THAT
CAN INCREASE THE RENT UP
TO EIGHTY PERCENT BROADWAY
TO PREVENT THOSE NGUYEN FALL
-- ARE AGGRESSIVE DISPLACING
DISPLACEMENT TERM PRODUCTION
-- RENT INCREASES OF LIKE
WE'VE SEEN OR YOU TO TURN
OVER IN THE TWENTY FIVE THIRTY
PERCENT INCREASE IN LANDS THAT
IS JUST GOING TO TURN CHANGING
NEIGHBORHOODS DRASTICALLY
PRETTY FAST SO SOME FORM
OF A PERCENTAGE -- MINUTES
ON VACANCY CONTROL WITH THE
-- WORK A GROUP IS WORKABLE YOU
CAN'T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER
IS WHEN HE SAID AND JUST BECAUSE
OF THAT THE THANK YOU MICHAEL
ARE YOU SPEAKING OF MORE
ABOUT -- EFFECTIVE REALISTIC
SPECULATION AND LIKELY YOU LIKE
CIVIC EVER PUT IN A -- AN
ORDINANCE FOR THEY PUT A FEE ON
VACANT CONDOMINIUM RIGHT OKAY A
WE HAD A LOT OF FOR EXAMPLE --
THIS IS COMING OVER FROM ASIA
THAT WERE PURCHASING BUT NOT
ACTUALLY LIVING WITHIN THE UNITS
ISN'T A SINKING THEIR MONEY
INTO CANADA RIGHT -- AND FOR
SECURITY PURPOSES I FOR THEIR
OWN FINANCES SO -- YOU KNOW
THAT SEATTLE'S LOOK AT IT --
THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION IN THE SERVICES GO
BAY AREA IS LOOKING AT THAT AS
A REVENUE SOURCE AS WELL LIKE
ALSO FUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
ARE POTENTIALLY STEM THAT TIDE
IS YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT RIGHT
YEAH SO I MEAN I THINK LIKE
NO IT'S TO ME THERE COULD BE
A THE ADMINISTRATIVE
COSTS TO DOING THIS WHY
YOU KNOW TO REALLY --
YOU KNOW WHAT WHERE DO YOU DRAW
THE LINE BETWEEN KIND OF THE
NATURAL -- RING WHICH WE
FEEL A NEW BUILDING YOU NOW
WITH NOW DEVELOPERS AND
-- YEAH MANAGEMENT COMPANIES
WHETHER IT'S REGULAR OWNERSHIP
PULLED WILL TELL YOU TAKES
TIME RIGHT -- SO WHERE DO
YOU DRAW THE LINE ON ON THAT
-- BUT IT DOES YOU KNOW
BECAUSE SEEN THAT IF WE YOU
KNOW IF IF WE HAVE ENOUGH
EVIDENCE IN A PARTICULAR --
JURISDICTION THAT THERE IS YOU
KNOW A LOT OF THE OUT OF TOWN
AND COUNTRY MONEY YOU KNOW
YOU'RE BEING PARKING TO REAL
ESTATE -- SPECULATION THAT
IS CLEARLY YOU KNOW NOT THE BEST
POSSIBLE USE OF THIS LAND --
AND THERE'S VACANCIES THAT ARE
IN THIS PLACE THAT ARE SITTING
EMPTY -- LIKE TO THE SENATE WE
IDENTIFY THAT AS A PROBLEM WHICH
IS NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM
EVERYWHERE IN THE STATE OR EVEN
IN THE MAJORITY OF PLACES --
YOU KNOW IF WE FEEL IT
COULD BE CERTAINLY A GOOD WAY TO
FIND -- YOU KNOW SOMEONE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR
SOMETHING LIKE VERY COOL RECORD
OF BRITISH COLUMBIA IN IN
-- IMPLEMENTED A FIFTEEN PERCENT
SURCHARGE FOR -- FLOORING
INVESTORS RIGHT FOR
OF WINDOWS --
I HAVEN'T FOLLOWED UP ON
THE FACT IT HAS ON THE
ON THE ON THE MARKET YET
-- THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
WHEN YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER
THIS IS A FINAL --
YOUR NASTY THOUGHT YOUR CRYSTAL
BALLS IN A QUICK RESPONSE
TOPPLING FEES THREE POINT FIVE
MILLION LEAVING HERE INCOMING
GOVERNOR TALK ABOUT WE NEED
THEIR DOUBLES THREE POINT
FIVE MILLION HOMES I THINK
WE'RE AVERAGING BOXLEY EIGHTY
EIGHTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A
YEAR WE NEED A HUNDRED EIGHTY
THOUSAND DISAPPEAR GLOBAL TO ME
YOUR PREDICTION LEGISLATURE
MOVES ON STREAMLINING
OF SOME OF RAINEY'S
WE PUT A NEW MORE THAN
TEN BILLION WE BRING BACK
REDEVELOPMENT TO SAGE BACK
AT ITS PEAK AT ONE POINT
FIVE BILLION YOUR RISK MALL
WITH REALISTIC WAYS OF FIRING
ON ALL CYLINDERS NUMBER
ONE AND NUMBER TWO JOBLING
TREES ARE JOB HOUSING
THE TREES WORK SO -- JOHN
MONEY COULD TOPPLE TURN
OVER MY ARM I THINK THAT
WITH OUT SOME OF RESTIVE
CHANGES IN LAND USE WITH ONE
IT'S NOT WORK ON STREAMLINING
IS NICE BUT IT'S NOT
GOING TO HELP ADDRESS
THE CLIENTELE WITH IN FACT
THIS IS CALIFORNIA SNEAKERS
TRYING TO SWALLOW SO I THINK
THAT LAND SUBSTANTIAL AND
USING FOR NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE
YEAH I WOULD ECHO THAT I I THINK
THAT -- IS IT WILL
TAKE THEM BIG RIVER BIG
REFORMS ON ON THAT LEVEL TO GET
NEAR WE ARE YOU KNOW LOFTY GOALS
AND TO GET AND AND GET BACK TO
ME DIXIE THE KIND OF HOUSING
PRODUCTION THAT WE HAD A
-- A RECENT PEAK CERTAINLY
ARE AND YOU KNOW I I WORRY
ABOUT YOU KNOW WHETHER THE
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IS IS
UP TO UP TO THAT TASK IN A
SHORTER OR YOU KNOW EVEN MEDIAN
-- YOU KNOW I'VE DE UM
BOB WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE
SEVENTIES -- TABLET CELL
YOUR VERY GENERALLY
IF WE'RE TRYING TO RAISE
FUNDS WE WANT A LARGE TAX BASE
THAT'S ONE THING THAT THAT
PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES WITH WITH
HOUSING LIKE IT'S FEES IS LIKE
YOU KNOW WE DON'T KNOW A
LOT OF ISSUES TAX BASE WE
HE HE'S BASED OUT TO TO
TAX JOBLING COULD YOU PLEASE
EXPAND THAT -- YOU KNOW I I
THINK -- DEPENDING ON HOW YOU
DEFINE THE JOBS YOU KNOW FREE
SEATTLE EXAMPLE WAS KIND OF
SEEN AS AN AMAZON TAX RIGHT
ARM YOU KNOW I THINK SO
I THINK THE GOOD GOD IS
IN THE DETAILS LP IN TERMS OF
HOW HOW BROADLY YOU DEFINE
THIS SPACE IN TERMS OF HOW
MUCH MONEY YOU'RE GOING TO THAT
REYES ARM YOU KNOW
AND I I DO I DO WORRY ABOUT
MAKING JOBS SOMETHING THAT
WE YOU KNOW TAX AND THEN
KIND OF PHILOSOPHICALLY CONSIDER
LIKE ALMOST A BAD THING --
YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE
CRISIS DESERVES TO HAVE ALL
HANDS ON DECK SO DEFINITELY YOU
KNOW ON TOP LIKE THE SEATTLE
DROPPING A TREE IS IT SHOULD BE
ON THE TABLE AT THE SAME TIME
I ALSO THINK THAT CALIFORNIA
NEEDS TO HAVE -- MORE STABLE
REVENUE STORES AND PROP THIRTEEN
REFORM IS FARING MUCH NEEDED
THANK YOU SO MUCH WE'RE VERY
GRATEFUL THANK YOU VERY MUCH
-- CEREBRAL ARE ON
THE ROAD FOR A BILL
-- NO THAT'S ALL RIGHT I
WAS THINKING OF A DIFFERENT BILL
ONE OF SIX BACK FROM THE
BUDGET RIGHT IT WAS A
BUDGET BUT WITH SOME
OF THE FILES OF THE BUDGET
ALL RIGHT OVER BECAUSE
THAT'S GOOD I LIKE THAT
OKAY SO LET'S -- LET'S
MOVE ON TO OUR LAST PANEL
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND
WE'LL GREAT -- WE HAVE
FOUR PEOPLE WE HAVE --
THE C. LARA RAINMEN

CITIES OKEY DOKE

PANEL AND I THINK WHO IS
THE FIRST DAYS ARE YOU

ADVISERS ON KEY ISSUES FOR
FUTURE LAND USE LEGISLATION
SO WHAT WHAT WE START WITH YOU
YEAH WHEN REFER

THE NEW WORKS IS NEAR
TURNS YELLOW GREEN LIGHT
ALSO YOU MIGHT HAVE
BETTER DOES ACTIVE
THANK YOU MICHAEL
YOUR MARKS IN HIS AREA
OKAY -- QUALITY IS MUCH
BETTER AND LOS ANGELENOS
ARE MUCH BETTER AND WE NEED
TO TALK ABOUT THE EARLY AND
FROM THE LA FOR FOR VETERANS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR INVITING
HERE TO SPEAK THEY REALLY
APPRECIATE IT IS A PLEASURE TO
BE HERE BEFORE YOU AND OFFER
SOME OF OUR STOCK CALIFORNIA
CITIES WE HEARD A LOT TODAY
ABOUT SOME THE CHALLENGES THAT
ARE CITIES FACING HERE CLEARLY
ARE REYES ATION IS ACUTELY
AWARE OF THIS CHALLENGES I'M
HOUSING AFFORDABLE HOUSING
HOMELESSNESS IS A MAJOR PRIORITY
OF OUR ORGANIZATION -- FOR
MULTIPLE YEARS -- BUT WE'RE
LEADING WE'RE GOING INTO OUR
OUR LEAGUE LEADERS ACTIVITY HERE
IN A COUPLE WEEKS WHERE ON THE
LEADERS OF OUR ORGANIZATION ARE
COMING TOGETHER WHICH IS REALLY
MADE UP OF OUR CITY OFFICIALS
ON THE SET THE GOALS FOR NEXT
YEAR AND I CAN ALMOST HEAR
YOU WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANOTHER
GOAL AND ALMOST AS AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN HIS HOUSING SUPPLYING
GENERAL I'M SO IT IT CERTAINLY
CAN BE A ANOTHER ANOTHER CALL
FOR US -- I I WOULD LIKE TO
START YOU KNOW WE'RE THOMAS CAN
TALK A LOT OF THE FUTURE BUT IT
IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO TAKE A
LOOK BACK AT THE PAST AND JUST
VERY BRIEFLY ON THE PAST IS THE
PAST TWO YEARS AND WE'VE SEEN
THIRTY VERY MEANINGFUL PIECE OF
LEGISLATION SIGNED INTO LAW BY
THE GOVERNOR YOU GUYS ALL PASSED
ON THAT MAKE MAJOR CHANGES THAT
YOU KNOW CALIFORNIA LAW FROM THE
HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY ACT TO A
FRIENDLY FOR THE FOR HOUSING --
YOUR DENSITY BONUS LAW NEARLY
EVERY ASPECT OF OF CALIFORNIA
LAW HAS BEEN TOUCHED IN SOME
WAY AND THE LAST TWO YEARS
I MEAN EVEN TO A POINT WHERE
LAST YEAR WE ACTUALLY PUT OUT
A GUIDE YOU CALIFORNIA HOUSING
OFF ON TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF
THEM THIS YEAR BECAUSE THERE'S
SO MANY MORE ON THAT WE NEED
TO EDUCATE OUR MEMBERS ABOUT
AND THAT EDUCATION PIECE IS
REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT AND WE
STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IF WE ARE
MEMBERS ARE EDUCATED ON THERE
TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS
AND WE HEARD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
WHAT I THINK IS THE BEE'S CASE
YOU'RE YOU'RE REFERENCING -- YOU
KNOW AMENDMENTS TO THE HOUSING
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN ARE REAL I'M
OUR CITY OFFICIALS NOW IF THEY
DENY PROJECT IT'S CONSISTENT
WITH OUR PLANNING FACE A TEN
THOUSAND DOLLAR PER UNIT FINE
THAT'S VERY YOU KNOW VERY
YOU KNOW MOVING FOR THAT THAT
COUNCIL MEMBER AND THE PROFESSOR
MENTIONED THE HOOKS THAT'S A
HUGE HOOK ON THE CITY COUNCIL
MEMBERS ARE GONNA DIE PROJECTS
THAT ARE GOING TO RESULT IN A
TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE YOU
KNOW PER UNIT SO I WOULD HOPE
THAT THE COMMUNITY YOU DON'T
GET WHATEVER IT IS WITH WITH
THE KNOWLEDGE THAT POSITION I
THINK THAT THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
MEMBERS ARE RENDON THAT THEY GOT
A THEY GOT A FOR THIS PROJECT
-- A COUPLE OTHER BILLS IN ONE
OF THE VERY BRIEFLY MENTIONED
ON THAT ARE VERY MEANINGFUL
BUT THEY'RE JUST GONNA TAKE
TIME I THINK THAT'S PART OF THE
OTHER THING THAT LIKE TO REALLY
EMPHASIZE HERE IS THAT YES WE
ARE IN A CRISIS IT'S CAN TAKE
A LONG TIME FOR US TO GET OUT
OF CRISIS AND YES WE NEED MORE
CHANGES BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE
A LITTLE BIT TIME FOR THINGS
TO TAKE PLACE MAYBE THIRTEEN
EIGHTY SEVEN I WAS A BILL BY
SO AMARILLO THAT CHANGE THE WAY
THAT WE IDENTIFY SITES I WON THE
PROFESSORS MENTION THAT AS WELL
THAT IS REALLY REALLY POWERFUL
BECAUSE WHEN WE HAVE TO COMPLY
WITH STATE LAW RUNNER HOUSING
ONLY WE NEED TO FIND SITES THAT
ARE ADEQUATE TO DEVELOPING A
COMMUNITY THIS IS GOING TO MAKE
IT MORE -- CHALLENGING FOR US
TO FIND SITES THAT ARE DEVELOPER
WINNER TWENTY FOUR ALSO GONNA
FIND SITES THAT ARE REAL THE
REALISTIC AND WE CAN DEMONSTRATE
THAT THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECT ACTUALLY GO THERE OR
THE SINGLE FAMILY BECAUSE OR
WHAT HAVE YOU -- SO WE'RE GONNA
HAVE A REAL SITE THE DEVELOPERS
ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP
-- AND THERE'S A WHOLE HOST
OF OTHER LAWS AND WE'RE NOT
GONNA GET INTO -- NOW -- BUT
I WOULD LIKE TO YOU KNOW CAUTION
ANY YOU KNOW AS WE MOVE FORM
CONSIDER TO SHOW CHANGES THAT
YOU KNOW WE MAY NOT NEED TO
CHANGE CERTAIN THINGS ARE JUST
TRYING TO LAST YEAR AND WE JUST
GOT A LETTER HAVE LONG TIME I'M
TO PLAY OUT I WAS YOU KNOW I
REALLY APPRECIATED CENTER BILL'S
COMMENTS TO IN THE OPENING UP
TO AFTER A SESSION AND THAT YOU
DON'T ABOUT PARTNERSHIP OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AND WE'RE CERTAINLY
LOOKING FOR A PARTNER AND AND IN
OUR STATE AND THE STATE HAS BEEN
A PARTNER -- YOU KNOW SOMETIMES
NOT QUITE SO MUCH REPORTER BUT
WE CERTAINLY WANT TO HAVE THAT
PARTNERSHIP AND I THINK YOU
KNOW THAT PARTNERSHIP REALLY
WAS RENEWED THE LAST FEW YEARS
IS AS WE HELP YOU KNOW SUPPORT
CERTAIN BILLS AND YOU KNOW HELP
PASSED THE OF HOUSING LONG AND
WE'RE VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF
THAT MEASURE PROFIT TO -- THOSE
ARE GOING TO BRING A MEETING
FOR EARLY FOR COMMUNITIES SO WE
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT THE
CHALLENGE OF YOUR PARTNER AND
WE CERTAINLY WANT TO BE THAT
PARTNER NOT LOOKING TO THE
FUTURE I'M THERE REALLY I
THINK LIKE FOUR KEY THINGS I
THINK THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS
FAR AS YOU KNOW WHAT SORT OF
LEGISLATIVE CHANGES WE NEED TO
SEE -- AROUND LAND USE ON THE
FIRST IS -- WE'VE SEEN A HANDFUL
OF SINCE THE DEMISE REGIONAL
WHICH YOU LIKE FOUR FIVE YOU
LOSS AND THE MOVE FOR -- THAT
BRING BACK SOME OF THE TOOLS
OF REDEVELOPMENT I'M A REALLY
WHAT'S BEEN MISSING IS THAT
THAT STATE -- SKIN IN THE GAME
THAT STATE -- YOU KNOW SHARE
AND YOU KNOW I'VE HEARD FROM
MANY MANY MANY OF OUR CITIES
AND COUNTIES THAT YOU KNOW THEY
WANT TO PARTNER WITH THIS WITH
THE STATE AND PUT UP SOME OF
THEIR TAX DOLLARS IS ONE OF
THE STATE'S GOING TO STEP IN
AND MATCH SOME OF THOSE DOLLARS
AND YOU KNOW THE STATE CAN
THEN BE IN A POSITION TO SAY
OKAY GREAT CITY YOU WANT YOU
KNOW SOMETHING I WAS WE ONCE
ABOUT US AND WE CAN SHARE GOALS
AND WE CAN ACCOMPLISH OTHER
STATEWIDE PRIORITIES DENSITY
AROUND TRANSIT COULD CERTAINLY
BE ONE OF THOSE -- REDUCING
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS COULD
BE ANOTHER ONE STIMULATING GOOD
PAYING JOBS -- REDUCING POVERTY
HOMELESSNESS IN THE LIST CAN GO
ON AND ON AND ON -- BUT I THINK
WHAT I'M HERE FOR MY CITIES IS
WE'LL PUT MONEY IF THE STATE'S
WONDER TO PUT MY AS WELL AND AND
BE THAT GOOD PARTNER THAT'S ONE
OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE GONNA
BE PUSHING -- THIS COMING YEAR
-- THE OTHER THING I'D LIKE TO
EMPHASIZE AND NOT GO SPEND MUCH
TIME IS AS WE TALK A LOT ABOUT
IT ONE SIZE FITS ALL WE ALL
KNOW DOESN'T WORK I THINK LA IS
DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB LISTEN
TO THE RESIDENTS ARE BRACING
THE COMMUNITY YOU KNOW BEING
FLEXIBLE ON HOW THEY ACCOMMODATE
THE GOALS ON THAT THEY HAVE
FOR HOUSING INCREASE DENSITY IN
TRANSIT -- SO I THINK WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE OUR
LAUER CITIES CONTINUE DOWN THAT
ROAD ANOTHER THING THAT WE CAN
DO IS HELP FIND SOME OF THE
STREAMLINED EFFORTS THAT THE
LEGISLATURE PASSED LAST YEAR'S
SB FIVE FORTY WAS BROUGHT UP AB
SEVENTY THREES AND OTHER SIMILAR
MEASURE THESE ARE VERY POWERFUL
TOOLS THAT DO HAVE ACCESS TO
SOME OF THE NEW SB TWO MONEY
FROM CENTER ATKINS BILL THAT'S
A ONE TIME FUNDING MEASURE SO
WE CAN GET OTHER DOLLARS TO HELP
FUND THAT YOU'LL SEE CITIES BE
ABLE TO PLAN DO SEEK WHAT HAD
A TIME DEFY AREAS AND IF YOU
DO MOST OF THE DEVELOPMENT THEY
SET THE RULES FOR DEVELOPERS AND
THEN FOR PRE A FIVE OR TEN YEARS
NO MORE SEA QUEST PROJECTS COME
AND IT IS ALL BY RIGHT BUT IT'S
BEEN DONE IN OUR MINDS THE RIGHT
WAY SO WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE
THAT AND THEN I THINK YOU'LL --
FINALLY AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SPENDING
SOME OF THE HOUSING BOND MONEY I
WOULD YOU TAKE A LOOK AT PERHAPS
YOU KNOW THE GUIDELINES OR --
THE IMPLEMENTATION STATUTES
FOR THOSE THOSE VARIOUS PARTS
TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT
WE'RE USING THE MONEY PROBABLY
WE NEED TO LOOK INTO HER WITH
EXIST AND WHAT ABOUT A DECADE
TO TELL US HOUSING ONCE SAID
WE NEED TO TO TAKE OR SOME
OF THOSE PROGRAMS AND I WOULD
LIKE TO JUST END WITH WILL WAS
SAYING THAT AND THEN THERE'S
THE COMMITTEE -- PAPER DID A
REALLY GOOD JOB OF MAKING A DEAL
AS WE STRIVE TO REDUCE THE COSTS
AROUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR
CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSING AS WE
LOOK AT LAND USE REFORMS HERE
THERE'S THE POTENTIAL SAVINGS
THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THIS
RIGHT WE WANT TO SEE SAVINGS
BUT WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THE
SAVINGS ACTUALLY IS PASSED ON
TO THE CONSUMERS OR THE RANGERS
AND YOU KNOW THERE'S THERE'S NO
MECHANISM NOW REALLY TESTED TO
FORCE DEVELOPERS AND EATING THE
COSTLY THEY'RE GONNA SELL IT FOR
WHAT IT'S WORTH I I GET IT --
SESSIONS OF THOSE OF THOSE THAT
ARE IN A FOR PROFIT AND THEY
WANT TO MAXIMIZE THAT INVESTMENT
SO YOU KNOW YEAH I WOULD JUST
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE MINDFUL
OF CAPTURING THOSE DOLLARS IN
ENSURING THAT THE GOING TO THE
RIGHT PLACES I'M AND THEN ONE
FINAL THING AS WE THINK ABOUT
WHAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED TODAY
METERS DISCUSSION WHEN I FIRST
MEANS IS THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE
PRIVATE SECTOR AND THE PRIVATE
SECTOR THE BILL ALL THE HOMES
WE SET THE STAGE FOR DEVELOPMENT
WE HOPEFULLY REDUCE BARRIERS
AND STREAMLINE THE PROCESS BY
THE END OF THE DAY THEY HAVE TO
BUILD IT THE MARKET COMPLETELY
CONTROLS HOW THEY'RE GONNA DO
ALL THOSE PARCELS TWO DAYS I WAS
READY TO WORK IN THE BLOOMBERG
RADIO WAS ON AND THERE WAS A
MENTION OF KATIE HOLMES ON THE
NATION'S LARGEST BUILDERS WERE
LARGE BOULDERS CALIFORNIA STOCK
FELL EIGHTEEN PERCENT EVERY
FREAKING OUT CABEY SAID THAT
THE REASON WHY THE STOCK AS LONG
AS LACK OF ORDERS COMMITS THE
BILL OF YOUR BUYERS AS THEY COME
IN AND THE PURCHASES HOMES AND
HIGHER INTEREST RATES SO I MEAN
WHICH WOULD HAVE A CONGRESS OF
THE MARKET FORCES ARE OUT THERE
AND YOU KNOW HOPEFULLY COMPARED
TO SOME OF THOSE MARKET FORCES
WITH SOME OF THE REGULATION
STREAMLINING AND ACTUALLY
ACHIEVE MORE SUPPLY AND MORE FOR
THANK YOU WILL HEAR FROM
DOCTOR VOXELS WELCOME
FROM SAN DIEGO AND HE CARE
BEYOND THIS YEAR AND HUMAN
AND GIVES SENATOR MCCAIN ON
SO JUST A BRIEF INTRODUCTION ON
MYSELF ARE -- WOULD DEFEND YOUR
BUILDING COULD FAMILY HOUSING
CORPORATION YEAR NONPROFIT
THAT ONE'S ONE OF THE LARGEST
ONE DOWN OPERATES ONE OF THE
LARGEST AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECTS IN THE REGION IN SAN
DIEGO IT'S FOUR FIFTY SIX UNITS
BRING GREAT BECAUSE WE WERE THE
PRODUCT OF THE PRIOR FEDERAL WAY
OF BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING
BECAUSE BASICALLY SUBSIDIZING
-- LOW INCOME ON HOUSING LOANS
THE LOS PROTOCOL PROGRAMS AND
PRODUCTS NO LONGER EXIST SO WE
ARE NOW IN THE NEW GENERATION
HOW OLD I AM ALSO WORKING
CLOSELY WITH -- BIGGER BUILDING
TRADES AND AS YOU ARE LOOKING
AT THE FUTURE ARE YOU LOOKING
AT TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION
OF PEOPLE THAT USE THE HOUSING
UNITS OUR STATE BY THE BUILDING
TRADES WITHIN FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS IN TRAINING
WORKERS AND WE'LL HAVE ROUGHLY
TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY PENSION
PROGRAMS AND EVERYTHING OKAY
IN THE IN THE STATE WITH
THIS CHARACTER THREE CHALLENGES
THAT IN TERMS OF THE CONTEXT
FOR SOLUTIONS THAT YOU SHOULD
BE PROBABLY LOOKING AT TODAY
ONE OF THE PENSION BETWEEN
THE LOCAL AND STATE CONTROL
THE SECOND CHALLENGE IS THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AFFORDABILITY
PARTICULARLY OF EXISTING
STOCK AND COST OF NEW HOUSING
STOCK AND THE KERN COUNTY
IS THAT IN THE GREEN THE
ROLE OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR
AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR USE
SOME KIND OF -- GUY COAST
IF YOU EIGHT ECONOMY DARK
HERE INTO THE BALANCE BETWEEN
THE LOCAL AND THE STATE
CONTROL THE STATE CONTROL
ISSUES OF WORK IN THE LAST
SESSION WITH SB THIRTY FIVE
IN OUR OPINION STANDARDS ON
DISPLACEMENT DISCRIMINATION
FOR BRADY AND WORK FORCE
WHERE WHERE IS WHAT AN OPTIMAL
LEVEL WHERE WORK HE GAVE HIS
WEALTH AND GOT HIS BALANCE
AT A LOCAL LEVEL THERE ARE
BUSY LOOKING AT INFRASTRUCTURE
THINGS LIKE ROADS TRANSIT
WASTEWATERS CALL MORE AND
SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR IT
AND THEN THERE'S NEIGHBORHOOD
ISSUES LIKE PARKS AND SCHOOLS
AND PUBLIC SERVICE SUBSIDY
WE CAN GET THE BALANCE WAS
STRUCK WITH THE KKK AND YOU
HEARD THE TESTIMONY HERE
IN LA IT WORKS IT WORKS
BECAUSE THERE'S BY IN FROM
THE COMMUNITY AND FIND COME
RESIDENTS WORK FORCES AND
WORKFORCE AND BUSINESSES THE
CAPITAL NEEDS PROBLEM BECOME
THE ESPECIALLY ACUTE IN ORDER
URBAN AREAS FOR DETERIORATING
INFRASTRUCTURE HAPPENS IN
EVERY LOW INCOME COMMUNITY
THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR
INFRASTRUCTURE AND THERE'S NO
WAY OF SUPPORTING THESE NEW
PROJECTS WITHOUT ANY IMPACT
ON THE EXISTING COMMUNITIES
SO THEREFORE THERE HAS TO
BE SOME SOME METHOD FIVE
AGENCIES COULD EASE CONCERNS
I ADDRESSED WORD OF CAUTION
HERE IS THE GREETING CARD
THE HOUSING CRISIS IS NOT
SEEK WHAT THAT THAT THAT IS
THE PROBLEM HERE SEEK WAYS
CRITICAL TO ENSURING THAT THE
PEOPLE MOST AFFECTED BY THESE
CRIMES HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE
PARTICULARLY IN ORDER TO PREVENT
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE NOW
REGARDING THE SECOND ISSUE
THAT IS A FORMER HOUSING IN THE
BUILDING MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND HOW TO BALANCE THAT WITH AND
WITHOUT THE EXISTING RESIDENTS
BUILDING MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
ALONE CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND
WE'RE FOR REAL HERE IS CRITICAL
IT HAS TO BE CARRIED FIRSTHAND
SOMEBODY'S INCOME ARE THERE IS
NOT AFFORDABLE NOW PEOPLE CALL
IT DIFFERENT NAMES SOMETIMES
FOR EXAMPLE WORKFORCE HOUSING
WHICH IS A MISNOMER AT THE HIGH
END WHERE MOST OF THE WORKPLACE
CANNOT AFFORD IT WHAT SHOULD
BE IS EITHER IT'S AFFORDABLE
WHERE THIRTY PERCENT OF YOUR
INCOME GOES TO WHAT HOUSING
OR HE'S EMPLOYER SPONSORED
WHICH MAY ADDRESS CERTAIN
KINDS OF HIGHER INCOME --
EMPLOYERS IN HIGH TECH --
OR IT COULD BE MIDDLE INCOME
EMPLOYERS SUCH AS TEACHERS
WHERE THERE'S A PARTNERSHIP
BETWEEN THE EMPLOYER TO BE
ABLE TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR
THE WORK FORCE WE CAN GET
THAT KIND OF APPROACH CAN
WORK IN IN IN EXTENDING PUBLIC
DOLLARS IMPLEMENTATION OF
ASSEMBLY BILL FIFTEEN OH FIVE
FRANKLY GOING HOUSING AT A
LOCAL LEVEL WILL ALSO AUGMENT
THE MARKET PRODUCTION INTO THE
FORMAL HOUSING THE SECOND
PLEASES PRESERVATION OF EXISTING
STOCK AND THE THE THE PROBLEM
HERE IS THAT HOMEOWNERS
INTENSE WHERE WE'RE TRYING
TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS
IN A WAY THAT IS FAIR AND AS YOU
SAID PORTER IS THE CONCEPT OF
SOCIAL JUSTICE THIS CAN BE
DONE BY PROVIDING GREATER
ASSISTANCE IN REFINANCING
UNFAIR PAY TO THE LAWN UPDATING
CALIFORNIA'S BROKEN RENT
CONTROL AND ELECTION LAW AND
PROVIDE INTENSIVE COUNSELING
COUNSELING IN ERECTION PROCEED
WE UNDERSTAND NOW I'M WORKING
PARTLY AND WITH THE BUILDING
TRADES AND WE LOOK AT PROJECTS
THAT ARE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT
SIZE AND SCALE AND SO WHEN I'M
I'M PUTTING ON -- A PERSPECTIVE
WHERE THERE ARE LARGE HIGH RISE
PROJECTS IN DOWNTOWN ACROSS
THE STATE THAT COULD THAT
COULD HELP US MITIGATE SOME OF
THIS CRISIS TO BE UNDERSTOOD
HERE THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION
INCREASES AS MUCH AS FIVE FOUR
FROM LOW RISE WITH WOODEN FRAME
TO HIGHRISE STEEL AND CONCRETE
SO WHEN WE ARE INCENTIVIZING
OVER AN INFILL PROJECT THERE
ARE GENERALLY CHALLENGING
CONSTRAINTS SITES SITES WITH
A HIGHER TIED OFF CONSTRUCTION
IT ALSO INCREASES THE
VALUE AT THE COST PER UNIT
STILL YOU MUST THEREFORE
BALANCE THAT WITH ZONING
BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT JOINING
THERE'S A HIGH COST A FREEZE ON
IF YOU JUST ABOVE THE ONE
WITHOUT A COMMENSURATE COMMUNITY
BENEFITS ACT PASSED THEN
YOU'RE JUST GIVING THAT ZONE
FOR IS ONE OF THE ONE FOR FREE
AND THE COST OF SUPPORTING
INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC
SERVICES FALLS ON THE CITY
ITSELF SO THEREFORE THE CONTACT
YOU DISCUSSED LAST TIME WOULD
LAND ON THE LEAD CAPTURE OR
THERE ARE OTHER CONCEPTS FIND
COOL FEATURES CONDITIONALS
ON YOU SEND IS ONLY EXIST
NOT JOINING FOR FREE BECAUSE
ONCE YOU GET WAS ONLY I'M SO
ON IT'S IT'S A CONSTITUTIONALLY
PROTECTED ENTITLEMENT ON GIVEN
TO THE LANDOWNER YOU CANNOT
TAKE IT AWAY AND SAY OOPS
THAT WAS IN ERROR -- REGARDING
POLLS MORE CONDITIONS ON YOUR
SO THEN THE FINAL YEAR POINT
IS WE MUST IN THE PROCESS
OF ENCOURAGING THIS KIND OF
INCENTIVE ZONING YOU MUST ALSO
THINK ABOUT LOCAL AREA RESIDENTS
PAYMENT OF AREA PREVAILING RATES
STANDARDS AND APPRENTICESHIP
TRAINING ALLOWS PEOPLE TO
AFFORD THE HOUSING BILLS AND
INTRODUCES ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL
DISPARITIES PROVIDES PATHWAYS
FOR MIDDLE INCOME JOBS AND
CAREER PATHWAYS AND BUYING FROM
THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES FOR THESE
KIND OF LARGE SCALE PROJECTS
FINALLY IF I HAVE TIME THEN THE
BALANCE BETWEEN THE PUBLIC
SECTOR AND PRIVATE SECTOR ON
THE BILLING PAGE CREATED PLAYED
A KEY ROLE IN THE PASSAGE OF
PROPOSITION ONE PROPOSITION
TWO AND SENATE BILL TWO DIESEL
GENERATOR AS YOU DISCUSS
TEN BILLION DOLLARS OVER THE
NEXT DECADE NOW THERE MAY
BE OPPORTUNITIES TO LEVERAGE
THESE FUNDS WITH HEALTH AND
TRANSPORTATION FIND MORE
-- RIGHT OKAY
SO THERE MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO LEVERAGE THESE FUNDS
WITH OTHER PARTS WE GET LIKE
FOR EXAMPLE CAP AND TRADE
TRANSPORTATION MONEY AND OTHER
LOCAL FUNDING SOURCES IN THE
STATE MUST ENCOURAGE DOES
WE IN SAN DIEGO LEANING A LITTLE
BIT LAX BUT HOPEFULLY WE MIGHT
GET THERE WE LOOKING AT LA AS A
MODEL WHAT I CAN
GET OTHERS JURISDICTIONS
MUST BE ENCOURAGED TO ADOPT
THEIR OWN LOCAL MEASURES
TO AUGMENT THE STATE FUNDS
NOW THERE MAY BE NEW TAXES
TAXING COMMAND FUNDS SOME CARD
READER LÀ IN TWO POINT FULL BUT
IS ACTUALLY DEVELOPMENT THREE
POINT FULL SINCE THE FIRST
WHAT WAS YOUR REDEVELOPMENT WAS
THE POST WORLD WAR OPENING YOU
WILL LEAD TO DISPLACEMENT FOR
EXAMPLE ON BANKERS YELLED WE
SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP THAT IN MIND
THAT REDEVELOPMENT COULD HAVE
REAL CONSEQUENCES ON THE SOCIAL
AND ECONOMIC FABRIC OF THE
CITY THEREFORE WE MUST HAVE
AND BUILD UP ON STANDARDS ON
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND JOB QUITE
IN THE NEXT WORK IN OUR FREE
DEVELOPMENT NOW IT IS UNLIKELY
THAT INCREASE FUNDING ALONE
CAN ENSURE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
FOR THE KIND OF HOT -- SCALENE
SO THEREFORE I WE BELIEVE THAT
THE CALL THE ROLL OF PUBLIC
HOUSING AUTHORITIES NEEDS TO
BE LOOKED AT IN IN TERMS OF ITS
ROLE IN PRODUCTION OFTEN YOU'LL
HOUSING STOCK IF IT'S NOT
YES THEIR ROLE IN TERMS OF
THE FEDERAL MANDATES ALONE
AND WHAT THEY WERE GIVEN MONEY
TO DO BUT MORE AS PARTNERS
IN A PRIVATE MARKET PLACE
BECAUSE TAX CREDITS ARE THE
METHOD FOR PRODUCING HOUSING
IT TO NOT BE THE DOMAIN OF
THE PRIVATE FIVE ALONG ONE
CAN BE COMBINED WITH THE PUBLIC
SECTOR USING THESE TAX CREDITS
FEDERAL TAX BUT IT STATE TO BE
ABLE TO BUILD A FORM HOUSING
THAT WOULD THAT I WOULD CONCLUDE
BY SAYING THAT IT IS NOT JUST
ABOUT STATE AND LOCAL A FORMAL
WAS HIS MARKET PUBLIC WORKS IS
PRIVATE BUT YOU THINK ABOUT IT
IN A HOLISTIC RAVE ABOUT THE
COMMUNITIES AFTER SERVING IN
THE WORK FORCE AND RECIPES AND
ZERO OVER HERE FROM THE ED
CASEY -- FROM THE CHAMBER
HERE IN LOS ANGELES LAND USE
CONSTRUCTION HOUSING COUNCIL
-- I WANT TO HEAR WHAT IT
HAS TO SAY ABOUT BUILDING
HOUSING BECAUSE HE DOES A ED
THANK YOU FEEL
ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
FOR GIVING ME AS A REPRESENT
ABOUT THE PRIVATE SECTOR
AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MY
THOUGHTS AND VIEWS ON THIS
IMPORTANT ISSUE I AGREE THAT
THE LEGISLATURE HAS MADE GREAT
INROADS ON THE ISSUE WITH THE
LEGISLATION THE DOCTOR TWENTY
SEVENTEEN TWENTY EIGHTEEN BUT
THERE'S MORE TO GET AT THIS
BY WAY OF MY BACKGROUND I'M
COMING HERE WITH TWO DIFFERENT
PATHS THE FIRST THAT IS CHAIR
OF THE LAND USE COMMITTEE FOR
THE LA CHAMBER I NINETEEN PER
COVERS ALL OF THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES IN LA COUNTY AND IN THAT
POSITION FOR FIVE YEARS AND WE
LOOKED AT A WHOLE HOST OF ISSUES
-- STATE AND LOCAL RANGING
FROM SICK REFORM TO AFFORDABLE
HOUSING WE ALSO WORKED WITH
LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS UNIONS AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVOCATES IN
RECENTLY PASSING AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL A TO MEASURES TO ADDRESS
THE FUNDING AND SERVICES FOR
THE HOMELESSNESS A CRISIS HERE
WHICH IS MEASURES AGING HHH
AND WE ARE FOCUSED ON AFFORDABLE
HOUSING BECAUSE OUR LOCAL
ECONOMISTS TELL US THAT THE
TOP OFF THE GOAL THAT THE TWO
ARE GREATER ECONOMIC GROWTH IS
THE LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T ATTRACT THE
SKILLED WORKERS UNLESS YOU HAVE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THE SECOND
HAD A WHERE IS AS A PRIVATE
LANDS ATTORNEY AND I'VE BEEN
DOING THAT FOR OVER TWENTY FIVE
YEARS -- INCLUDING DEFENDING
AGAINST LITIGATION BROUGHT OF
THE CALIFORNIA ON THE QUALITY
OF REPRESENT HOLES ALL SECTORS
OF REPRESENTED RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPERS RETAIL ABOUT THOSE
SCHOOLS HOSPITALS PUBLIC
AGENCIES AND MOST RECENTLY -- A
NONPROFIT FOCUSED ON BUILDING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH IS
CALLED A COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT -- A
TOPIC THAT I KNOW LAST TIME
YOU YOUR COMMITTEE MEETING
FOCUSED ON FINANCING AND I'M NO
FINANCIAL EXPERT SO I LIKE TO
FOCUS ON THREE TOPICS THAT HAVE
ONE COMMON THEME AND THAT IS
TIME SAVING TIME IN THE
ENTIRE PROCESS IS WELL AS
SAVING TIME FROM UNNECESSARY
DELAY IN LITIGATION PROCESS --
TIME IS IMPORTANT IN THE
CITY LOS ANGELES FOR ANY
SIGNIFICANT PROJECT IT TAKES
THREE YEARS TO GET THROUGH
THE INTEL PROCESS IF YOU'RE ON
THE ON A CORPORATE COUNTY IT
TAKES FOR YOU -- AND THEN
GET READY FOR THE LITIGATION
THAT WILL ELLIE FOLLOW WHICH
TAX ON TWELVE TO EIGHTEEN
MONTHS OF THE TRIAL LEVEL
AND EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY FOUR
MONTHS AT THE PULL SO YOU'RE
LOOKING AT SIX TO SEVEN YEARS
SO TIME IS MONEY AND IF WE
CAN SAVE TIME WILL HAVE MORE
RESOURCES THE BILL ALSO ALL
TYPES OF HOUSING THREE IDEAS
-- FIRST INCENTIVES THE TO SAVE
TIME I WORK A LOT OF DIFFERENT
PRIVATE DEVELOPERS -- WORKING
UNDER THIS STATE DENSITY BONUS
LAW AS THE EIGHTEEN EIGHTEEN
AND IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL MY
VIEW MARKET BASED SOLUTION TO
BUILDING MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
-- AND SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS
LET'S BUILD ON THAT MODEL LIKE
THE LEGISLATURE DID FOR EXAMPLE
LAST YEAR WHEN YOU CREATED --
YOU ADDED TO THE DENSITY BONUS
LAWS TO ALLOW FOR F. A. R.
BONUSES -- SO WHAT ABOUT
THIS AN ADDITIONAL INCENTIVE
FOR THE FOR HAVING MORE FORMAL
HOUSING YOUR PRIVATE PROJECTS
INCENTIVE IS YOU BILL THOSE
ADDITIONAL UNITS AND WE WILL
SHORTEN THE ENTIRE TIME THAT
SIMPLE THERE IN OTHER A PIECE
OF LEGISLATION RECENTLY ADOPTED
THAT TRY TO CHANGE THAT BUT
IN MY VIEW THEY ARE SOMEWHAT
CUMBERSOME HE THE SIMPLE
JUST A MAN SB EIGHTEEN EIGHTEEN
TO SAY HERE'S AN INCENTIVE WORSE
OR STREAMLINED PROCESS IF YOU
BUILD MORE UNIX WHAT ARE SOME
WAYS YOU CAN STREAMLINE THE
PROCESS AGAIN DOWN
THE TRENCHES REDUCE THE
NUMBER OF HEARINGS AND APPEALS
-- IT SHOULD BE ONE ORIGINAL
HEARING ONE ADMINISTRATIVE FEEL
ACCESS RIGHT NOW SOME
RESTRICTIONS YOU CAN HAVE
FIVE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF
HEARINGS AND APPEALS SECOND
IS AN ADDITIONAL PEEL AND A
LITTLE NON CHRISTIANS SEE CÇA
BALLAUGH FOR AN APPEAL OF
JUST THE CERTIFICATION OF THE
I. R. OTHER SECRET DOCUMENTS
DIRECTLY TO THE ELECTED BODY
CITY COUNCIL COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS THAT'S IN ADDITION
TO ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE'S THAT'S
ALLOWED EVEN WHEN THE UNDERLYING
ENTITLEMENT IS NOT APPEALABLE
HELLO BODIES IN MY CASE FOR
THAT NONPROFIT ADDED BETTER
FUEL WON'T EIGHTEEN MONTHS
TO THE FAUCET THAT SHOULD
NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR QUALIFIED
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS I
THE MORE I MORE STEALING IDEAS
BUT ONLY OUR BACKS INCENTIVES
FOR -- CITIES AND COUNTIES
TO ALSO -- FIVE SHORTEN THE
PROCESS AND BY THAT I MEAN
OF SHOWING THE PROCESS BY
WHICH THEY GET THEIR UNIQUE
PLANS AND HOUSING ELEMENT
YOU ALL DID A GREAT JOB I
THINK ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO WITH
PASSING -- SB FIVE FORTY AND
I THINK WAS AB SEVENTY THREE
THE SUSTAINABILITY DISTRICTS
AND THE WORKFORCE TOPIC
OPPORTUNITIES OUT WHY NOT EXTEND
THAT TO ALL THE COMMUNITY PLANS
AND ALL THE HOUSING ELEMENT
IF THEY ARE DONE BY A CERTAIN
TIME AND LEAVE SPECIFIED
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PARKS
I THINK CENTER REALLY TALK
ABOUT HOW SB FIVE FORTY WAS
INTENDED TO APPLY TO ME PLANS
IT DIDN'T DOESN'T BUT IT SHOULD
SELECT EXTENDED TO ALL THOSE
ELEMENTS AND TO TRY TO PROVIDE
FINANCING FOR THAT LET'S CREATE
A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
WHERE DEVELOPERS CAN PAY A
FEE WHEN THEY START TO BUILD
ACCORDING TO THOSE PLANS
OTHER WAYS TO STREAMLINE --
THE FIRST ONE IS AGAIN TAKING
AN IDEA FROM THE SB FIVE FORTY
EIGHTY SEVENTY THREE WHERE IF
YOU DO SEE CÇA ON THE FRONT
AND IN A DOCTOR THOSE PLANS
THERE'S NO SICK WORK ON THE
BACK IN PART COUNTY TALKED
ABOUT THE ONLY SEE ONE THE
BACK AND FOR THAT AND NO
SEQUEL FOR DOLPHIN THE POLICIES
FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR DOES
MAKE A DIFFERENCE FRONTEND
ONLY KNOW BACK IN NO FRONT
THEN ONLY BACK IN BUT DO SEE
QUIRK ONCE POURTANT
THEY ONLY HAVE TO DO IT ONE TIME
THE SECOND WAY TO STREAMLINING
IS A LOT OF PIECES OF
LEGISLATION YOU ALL PASSED
RECENTLY RELIES ON A CONSERVE OF
QUOTE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS
AND OBJECTIVE DEVELOPING
STANDARDS I WILL TELL YOU ON
THE GROUND THAT ALWAYS LEADS
TO FIGHT ABOUT WHAT'S OBJECT
AND -- QUITE OFTEN AND LEAD TO
IN ACTION SO MY SUGGESTION
WOULD BE WHEN YOU'RE TWENTY FOUR
IN THE CITIES AND COUNTIES HAVE
TO UPDATE THE COMMITTEE PLANS
AND HOUSING ELEMENT THEY HAVE TO
ADOPT OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS
INVOLVING STANDS AND IF THEY
DON'T THE STATE SHOULD DO IT FOR
MY THIRD IDEOLOGIES HERE IS
WITH SICK WHAT LITIGATION
TALK ABOUT STREAMLINED THE
SICK OR PROCESS FOR RELYING
ON THE SICK THE SICK WITH ON
PRODUCTION OF A PLAN ON THE
LITIGATION SIDE WHICH I CAN
SPEND DAYS WITH YOU ALL TALKING
ABOUT WHAT I WILL -- BUT I
WILL TELL YOU IN PRACTICE IT'S
GOTTEN SO BAD I TELL YOU ONE
EXAMPLE RIGHT NOW LEASE IN LOS
ANGELES IN -- THIS COTTAGE
INDUSTRY OF ATTORNEYS NOT
MYSELF BUT HOW DID YOU FEEL
ATTORNEYS WHO WILL FORM A QUOTE
UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATION WHO
WILL ENSUE IN THAT NAME THE
NAME OF THAT ASSOCIATION PUT
OUT HER HAND ASKING FOR MONEY
AND DEVELOPERS WILL GET A COUPLE
BECAUSE OF THE HOUSING BECAUSE
THEY WANTED TO CYCLE ALL THE
FINANCIAL REASONS YOU WANT AND
THAT PAYMENT RIGHT NOW IS UP
TO LEASE HALF MILLION DOLLARS
THE FOLLOWING IS THE GETTING
THE SUIT WITH A NO SIX
THREE YEARS AGO LITIGATION
SO WHAT TO DO ABOUT THAT I
SAY THREE THINGS IN CLOSE AND
ONE APPLIED THE THE X. BUT
I LITIGATION LAWYER HE HAVE FOR
CERTAIN STADIUM PROJECTS GREEN
PROJECTS APPLY TO AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROJECTS NUMBER TWO
-- SOME HELP CUT DOWN ON
THE TIME IT TAKES TO PREPARE
THE ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD
A SEQUEL CASES PLANES
DRAG OUT THE PROCESS JUST TO
PREPARE THE RECORD FOR NINE TO
TWELVE MONTHS BECAUSE THE
EFFORT EVERY EMAIL AND TEXT
UNDER THE SUN LAST WEEK
THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF
PENALTY FOR PEOPLE BRING IN
THE SIX I DON'T THINK CANNOT
BE YOUR PATTERN IS RESERVE
THE SIX REBELS BECAUSE I WILL
TELL YOU NO MATTER HOW MANY
TIMES I'VE TRIED I'VE NEVER
ABLE TO CONVINCE A JUDGE
THAT ISSUE IS ONE OF PERCENT
FRIVOLOUS IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN
SO I SAY PLEASE KIND
OF QUALIFIED AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROJECTS A VERY
SIMPLE CHANGE LOSING
PARTY HAYES WINNING PARTY'S
ATTORNEYS RIGHT NOW WONDER
SEQUEL ALL THAT PRINCIPLE
APPLIES IF THE CITY AND THE
DEVELOP A LOOSE THEY PAY THE
PLAINTIFF'S ATTORNEY SIX BUT
IT DOES NOT WORK THE OTHER WAY
THAT IS NOT FAIR ANGLICANS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS
WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LET
THAT PRINCIPLE CONTINUE
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE TIME
I'M HERE AT ALL THE
WORST STORIES FROM YOU
-- WILL NOW GO TO -- --
LARA RAYMOND REVELERS GOING
TO TALK TO US ABOUT --
WHAT SHE'S BEEN DOING WITH
THE ALLIANCE FOR COMMUNITY
TRANSIT YOU'RE IN LOS ANGELES
-- SPEAKING TO THIS ISSUE AND
ALSO TO -- BOARDING DISPLACEMENT
WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE GOING
THERE FOR HAVING IT SENATORS
OF MY NAME'S LAURA RAYMOND
I'M THE DIRECTOR OF ALLIANCE
FOR COMMUNITY TRANSIT LOS
ANGELES ACTUALLY WERE ACTUALLY
A BROAD COALITION WHERE THIRTY
SIX DIFFERENT -- FAITH BASED
COMMUNITY ORGANIZING GROUPS
TRANSIT JUSTICE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING GROUPS INCLUDING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS
THROUGHOUT THE LA REGION
MANY OF OUR MEMBERS HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON DECADES -- FEES
FOR MANY DECADES AND ARE
BEING IN NEIGHBORHOODS
THROUGHOUT THE REGION ARE WE
FOCUS ON ENSURING THAT THOSE
WHOSE VOICES HAVE BEEN LEFT
OUT OF THESE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT
DEVELOPMENT -- AND WHO HAVE BEEN
MARGINALIZED HAVE A SEAT AT THE
TABLE -- AND WE ARE NOT
BEING WE TEND TO THINK THE
CURRENT -- TENDENCY TO FRAME
THE DEBATE ON HOUSING AT THE
STATE LEVEL IN LOCAL LEVEL FOR
THAT MATTER OF NEW MEMBERS HIM
BEAT LARGELY LEAVE OUT THE NEED
SOME PERSPECTIVE OF OUR REGION'S
RUNS RIGHT INTO MAJORITY IN
THE DIVERSE COMMUNITIES WE
WORK WITH WE CLEARLY HERE THE
DEMAND FOR COMMUNITY SERVING
DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY BUT OFTEN PEOPLE
SEE A LOT OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENT
COMING IN ASKING WELL BEYOND
ANYTHING THEY COULD POSSIBLY
AFFORD AND AT TIMES CLOSE IS
A DIRECT THREAT TO THEIR OWN
HOUSING SITUATION AND THEY
KNOW THAT THERE'S LIKELY NO
WHERE ELSE IN THE CITY THEY CAN
MOVE IF THEY'RE DISPLAYED IT'S
CRITICAL WE DON'T JUST THINK
ABOUT WHETHER WE BUILD MORE
HOUSING OR NOT WE NEED TO TALK
ABOUT WHAT KIND OF HOUSING WERE
BUILDING AND FOR WHO AND WHAT
KIND OF JOBS THE DEVELOPMENT
IS CREATING AND FOR WHOM THOSE
JOBS ARE BEING CREATED FOR
WORK WORKING IN LA COUNTY A
KEY PART OF OUR CONTEXT IS THE
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY BILLION
DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN LA METRO
WHICH IS TRANSFORMING THE
REGION AS LA BILLS OUT THE
TRANSIT SYSTEM MUCH OF THE
NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING
IN MUCH OF THE RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT IN COMMERCIAL
DEVELOPMENT IS HERE TRANSIT
BECAUSE TRANSIT ORIENTED HAS
BECOME OUR NEW HOT MARKET HERE
RESEARCH BY THE DUKAKIS CENTER
OF NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
AND UCLA SHOWS THAT MARKET
RATE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN
DESIRABLE TRANSIT RICH AREAS
CAN PRICE OUT LOWER INCOME
RESIDENTS PARTICULARLY AND
HIGH RENTER AREAS TRANSIT
DEPENDENT RESIDENTS ARE REPLACED
BY HIGHER INCOME PEOPLE WERE
MUCH MORE LIKELY TO ON CARS
AND DRIVE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT
THIS DYNAMIC OF GENTRIFICATION
OF TRANSIT RETIRE ENTER AREAS
ACTUALLY HAS LED TO DROPS IN
TRANSIT RIDERSHIP AROUND THE
COUNTRY IN LA THE TRANSIT
WRITER POPULATION IS NINETY
PERCENT PEOPLE OF COLOR AND
SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT OF REGULAR
COMMUTERS MAKE LESS THAN
TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
PER YEAR DISPLACING LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES IN CANCER RICH
AREAS MEANS LOSING OUR CORE
TRANSIT RIDERS THEREFORE GETTING
DEVELOPMENTS HERE TRANSIT
RIGHT IS NOT ONLY IMPORTANT
FOR COMMUNITY STABILITY AND FOR
THE EQUITY ISSUES THAT ARE SO
IMPORTANT IT'S ALSO CRITICAL
FOR REACHING THE STATE'S
ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS ENSURING
OUR TRANSIT INVESTMENTS LEAD TO
SUCCESSFUL SYSTEMS WE NEED
A PLAGUE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION
TO AFFORDABILITY LEVELS IN THIS
CONVERSATION UNFORTUNATELY LOW
PAYING EMPLOYMENT IS THE FASTEST
GROWING TYPE OF COMPLAINT
IN THE LA REGION IN NINETEEN
NINETY AND TWENTY TWELVE THERE
IS A TWENTY SEVEN PERCENT
DECREASE OF MIDDLE CLASS JOBS
FIFTEEN PERCENT INCREASE IN LOW
WAGE JOBS IN AN EIGHT PERCENT
INCREASE IN HIGH WAGE JOBS
MOST TRANSIT RIDERS AND INDEED
MANY OF LA IS WORKING FOR
OUR AT EXTREMELY LOW INCOME
LEVELS THAT NOT EXACTLY WHERE
THE MOST SEVERE SHORTAGE OF
AFFORDABLE UNITS IT IN LA COUNTY
AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE
TO HAVE THE RIGHT PROTECTIONS
REQUIREMENTS AND INCENTIVES IN
PLACE DEVELOPMENT HAS LARGELY
BEEN HERE TO LUXURY IN ABOVE
MODERATE INCOME LEVELS DUE
TO THE MISMATCH HOMELESSNESS
IS TOO OFTEN THE OUTCOME
FOR TODAY'S WORKING POOR IN
CALIFORNIA JUST OUTSIDE OUR
OFFICE IN SOUTH LA THERE WAS
A TEACHER'S ASSISTANT AMAZON
DELIVERY DRIVER LIVING IN
TAP THIS STORE IS EXTREMELY
COMMON IN HIGH COST PARTS OF
THE STATE IN TERMS MANY OF US
HAVE HEARD STORIES LIKE THIS
IN THIS CONTEXT WE'VE BEEN
FOCUSED ON GETTING POLICIES IN
PLACE THAT LEAD TO MORE MIXED
INCOME DEVELOPMENT AND CAPTURE
THE VALUE THAT DEVELOPERS GET
FROM INCREASED LAND VALUE YOUR
TRANSIT INVESTMENTS INCREASED
DENSITY ALLOWANCES ONE OF OUR
MAIN MAIN CAMPAIGNS WE HAVE
MOVED OUR COALITION ALONG WITH
THE LA FEDERATION OF LABOR
WAS MEASURE JJJ WHICH PASSES
SIXTY FOUR PERCENT OF THE VOTE
IN NOVEMBER TWENTY SIXTEEN WE
HEARD ABOUT TWO DIGITS ARE ONE
LABOR I'M TOO MANY THE DETAILS
NOW BUT I WANTED TO POINT
OUT OF A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS
THAT YOU DO DAY TO -- SO
WE HEARD ABOUT THE TRANS OR INTO
COMMUNITIES AFFORDABLE HOUSING
INCENTIVE PROGRAM THAT JJJ
REQUIRE THE CITY OF LA TO CREATE
-- THAT WOULD HAVE LED TO ONE
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND TWELVE
PROPOSED AFFORDABLE UNITS IN
JUST ONE YEAR AND WANTED TO
REALLY UNDERSCORE THAT THIRTY
PERCENT THIRTY EIGHT PERCENT OF
THESE UNITS ARE EXTREMELY LOW
INCOME UNITS LAST DESIGNED AS
PART OF DAY TO DAY TO REALLY
PRIORITIZE EXTREMELY LOW
INCOME UNITS BECAUSE WE WERE
NOT SEEING ANYTHING IN ITS IN
THE COUNTY -- IN THE CITY --
BEFORE DIGIT DAY COULD ALSO
CLOSE THE REZONING LOOPHOLE
WHICH HAD ALLOW DEVELOPERS TO
REQUEST ON CHANGES IN GENERAL
PLAN AMENDMENTS RATHER THAN USE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCENTIVE
PROGRAMS LIKE THE STATE AND
THE PHONE IS PROGRAMMER SEEN
PEOPLE FIVE PASSED THE INCENTIVE
PROGRAM JUST GO STRAIGHT TO
CITY COUNCIL FOR QUITE SOME
CHANGES IN DAY TO DAY CLOSE
THAT LOOPHOLE BY REQUIRING
ITS OWN CHANGES AND GENERAL
PLAN AMENDMENTS ARE GRANTED
ONLY ONE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IN WORKFORCE REQUIREMENTS
ARE MET MAKING SURE THAT ALL
PASSED AS I WAS THE LEAD TO
AFFORDABILITY AND GOOD JOBS
IN THE ROOM JUST CLOSING THAT
LOOPHOLE WITHIN ONE THOUSAND
SIX HUNDRED FIFTEEN PROPOSED
AFFORDABLE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS
FIVE PERCENT OF ALL AFFORDABLE
UNITS UNDER THAT PROGRAM OUR
PARTY TO BE EXTREMELY LOW INCOME
WE ARE TODAY J. NEW COMMUNITY
PLANS WHICH TOGETHER COULD THE
LANYARD ELEMENT OF L. IS GENERAL
PLAN MUST BE EVALUATED TO ENSURE
THEY DO NOT UNDERMINE DISEASES
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND LOCAL
JOBS PROGRAM WE WE THINK THAT
THE L. THIS ELEMENT IS A GOOD
EXAMPLE OF A POLICY STRIKING THE
RIGHT BALANCE OF PUTTING EQUITY
AND ZONING STANDARDS IN PLACE
ALSO PROVIDING AMPLE ROOM FOR
COMMUNITY INPUT AND DEMOCRATIC
PROCESS THE TOC PROGRAM CAN
BE UPDATED AND MODIFIED THE A
COMMUNITY PLAN AS LONG AS THE
BASELINE AFFORDABILITY STANDARDS
ARE MET ACTIVATE WE'RE CURRENTLY
TRAINING COMMUNITY MEMBERS
CAN GROUPS ACROSS THE CITY TO
GET INVOLVED IN THE PLANNING
PROCESS AND EXPAND UPON THE
EQUITY PROVISIONS AND JJJ AND
WE BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE AN
IMPORTANT ELEMENT TO LOOK OUT
FOR STATE LAND USE POLICIES IN
ORDER TO KEEP COMMUNITIES AT THE
TABLE IN ADDITION THE CITY
POLICY WEBER WORKING CLOSELY
ALLEN METRO ON THE TRANS OR INTO
COMMUNITIES POLICY AND POLICY
IMPLEMENTATION THE CONTEXT OF
THE TRANS ABOUT OUT IN LA COUNTY
IS THERE ARE SEVERAL MULTI
BILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENTS AND
SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE FOR
EXAMPLE THE THE WEST SANTA ANA
BRANCH WILL GO THROUGH TWENTY
CITIES PLUS UNINCORPORATED
LA COUNTY ACCORDING TO POLICY
LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS BY UCLA'S
URBAN DISPLACEMENT PROJECT
I TO FOURTEEN POSSIBLE INTO
DISPLACEMENT POLICIES EACH
OF THE CITIES HAD ZERO TO ONE
POLICY IN PLACE INDICATING A
HIGH LEVEL OF VULNERABILITY AND
THE URGENT NEED FOR ABOUT TEN
PROTECTION POLICIES AND VALUE
CAPTURE POLICIES IN CITIES
ACROSS THE REGION TO ENSURE
THE TAXPAYER FUNDED TRANSIT
INVESTMENTS OUR LEVERAGE MORE
EQUITABLY THERE'S AN IMPORTANT
ROLE FOR THE STATE IN ENSURING
INVESTMENT WITHOUT DISPLACEMENT
STRENGTHENING TENANT PROTECTIONS
AND ENSURING EQUITABLE
PRODUCTION PARTICULARLY NEAR
TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE HOWEVER
THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE VERY
CAREFULLY WE NEED TO BUILD OFF
LOCAL PROGRESS AND ENSURE THAT
STATE PROPOSALS DO NOT UNDERMINE
HARD HARD FOUGHT LOCAL THE THREE
LAST YEAR WE DID NOT SUPPORT SB
EIGHT TWENTY SEVEN BECAUSE BY
OVERRIDING ZONING IN GRANTING
DENSITY WITHOUT THE SUBSEQUENT
VALUE CAPTURE MECHANISMS IT
WOULD UNDERMINE THE GAMES AND
MEASURE DAY TO DAY AND GOOD
POLICY IS THAT TOOK YEARS TO GET
IN PLACE IN THE COMMUNITY PLANS
IN PRESENT NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS
IN FACT IT WOULD HAVE FOR AND
MANY OF THE NEW AFFORDABILITY
TOOLS IN THE IN THE CITY OF
LA THIS YEAR WE LOOK FORWARD
TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO PUSH
RESET ON THAT CONVERSATION
ENTER ALL PASSED THE DENSITY
LEAD TO AFFORDABILITY WE
BELIEVE THERE'S WAYS TO SCALE
UP LOCAL MODELS AND STILL
HAVE COMMUNITIES AT THE TABLE
LAST BUT NOT LEAST BY UNDERSTAND
TODAY SESSIONS FOCUS ON THE AND
YES IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE
THE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE
THE CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF
PRESERVATION AND PROTECTION
ALONG WITH PRODUCTION -- SO
TENDER PROTECTIONS IN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PRESERVATION WE NEED
TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE
STRATEGIES TOGETHER RATHER
THAN PIECEMEAL PRODUCTION
STRATEGIES OVER PRESERVATION
ONE EXAMPLE IN LOS ANGELES
WE LOST TWENTY THOUSAND RENT
CONTROLLED UNITS SINCE TWO
THOUSAND TELUS ACTIVATION
WE NEED TO ADDRESS THE
ELLIS ACT AT THE STATE LEVEL
TO TRULY ENSURE LONG TERM
AFFORDABILITY OF THE REGION
BECAUSE I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR INVITING ACTUALLY HERE --
ONE UNDERSCORE OUR HOPE THAT
THE CONVERSATION GUARDING
HOUSING LOOSELY ON THE NAME
THE RESCUE ME DICHOTOMY WHICH
CURRENTLY FEELS LIKE A LOUD
VOICES THAT ARE NOT TRULY
REPRESENTATIVE ESPECIALLY OF
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR A BIG PART
OF OUR WORK HAS BEEN COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT AND VOTER ENGAGEMENT
IN ADDITION TO MEASURE JJJ WE
LIVE -- COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION
AGAINST MAJOR WHICH WOULD HAVE
SHUT DOWN A LOT OF DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE CITY AND HAVING DOOR
NOT THOUSANDS OF DOORS MADE
COUNTLESS CALLED THE FACT THAT
HOUSING IN THE CITY OF LA WE
KNOW THAT ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE
DEVELOPMENT IS VERY NUANCED YEAH
ABSOLUTELY AND THEN THE VOICE
BUT THAT'S LARGELY CONCENTRATED
IN PRIVILEGE CIRCLES ROOTED
IN THE HISTORY OF EXCLUSION
AND SEGREGATION I WOULD NOTE
THAT MEASURE HAS FAILED BY A
SEVENTY TO THIRTY MARGIN AND
I'D KNOW OUR CAMPAIGN AGAINST
MEASURE US LEAD WITH THE NEED
TO PROTECT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND THAT MESSAGE ONE OF THE
BALLOT SO IT'S CRITICAL WE
DISTINGUISH COMMUNITY OPPOSITION
TO CERTAIN DEVELOP WRITTEN
REAL FEARS OF DISPLACEMENT
FROM EXCLUSIONARY OPPOSITION
THANK YOU VERY MUCH WHO
-- HERE ON -- I THINK FOR
CLOSING I'D LIKE EVERYBODY TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUE WHAT WOULD
YOU LIKE TO SEE -- IN ANY STATE
LEGISLATION WILL BE OUR TOP
PRIORITY FOR STATE LEGISLATION
-- THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO BUILD
HOUSING AND CALIFORNIA WHAT
WHAT SHOULD THAT LEGISLATION
INCLUDES SLOW START OR START
OVER THIS AND -- DOCTOR BOX ON
EVERYBODY GO THROUGH THE
ONE THING
IT IS VERY OBVIOUS
I MEAN FOR ME AND THE ISSUE
OF OUR HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
IS READY TO FIVE IT'S
WITH HI ON THE UNIT
AND HOW MUCH PEOPLE CAN
PAY FOR IT SO WE GOT TO
ADDRESS BOTH SIDES IT HAS TO
BE HOW MUCH THE UNIT IS
BEING THE RENT OR THE COST
AND HOW MUCH WORKERS IV SO
I'D LIKE TO SEE A BALLOT
YES THESE ARE THE CALIFORNIA
CITY IS THE ONE THING I THINK
WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS --
FINANCIAL PAIRING OF STATE
DOLLARS WITH THE TOOLS THAT
HAVE BEEN BROUGHT BACK AND SINCE
THE DEMISE OF REDEVELOPMENT
YOU KNOW HAVING A PARTNER THERE
WITH CITIES AND COUNTIES AND
SPECIAL DISTRICTS AND OTHERS
ARE WILLING TO STEP UP AND PUT
THEIR OWN MONEY TO THE STATE
MATCH TO CHIEF STATEWIDE POLICY
OBJECTIVES WOULD BE VERY VERY
POWERFUL AND I THINK YOU WILL
SEE YOU KNOW CITIES TO LINE
UP TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM
-- STREAMLINING IS FOR ME
-- AND I RATHER AND I I
UNDERSTAND THE PAIN CENTER
MOCK IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE
THAT THE DISAGREEMENT HAPPENS
MORE ON LIVE YOU SHOULD BE
IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS
RATHER THAN COURTS --
BUT I ALSO THINK THAT IN TERMS
OF FINANCING IF WE COULD COME
UP WITH SOMEWHERE WE CAN ALL
SHARE IN THE IN THE COSTA
DEVELOPER THERE'S YOU KNOW
IT'S A LOS ANGELES WE ALSO THE
DEVELOPING COMMUNITY IMPOSED
ON ITSELF OF FREE TO HELP FUND
-- SEES AFRICA UPDATE THOSE
THIRTY FIVE FROM THE PLANS THAT
BEEN FOR TWENTY TALK ABOUT TO
REFILL MAX THOSE FUNDS WITH ALL
THE FUNDS THAT NOW SEEM TO BE
AVAILABLE FROM THE PUBLIC SIDE
EXCEPT FOR FOR
WHEN AFFORDABILITY REQUIREMENTS
ON NEW PROJECTS -- KIND OF
PROTECTION SO -- IN T. O.
C. -- AND JJJ WE'VE GOT
ONE FOR ONE REPLACEMENT
REQUIREMENTS WE ALSO THINK
WE SHOULD CONSIDER I'M MAKING
PARCELS THAT HAVE HAD TENANTS
IN THE LAST TEN YEARS IN
ELIGIBLE FOR A NEW DEVELOPMENT
GIVEN THAT THE REST OF OUR
THURMOND ARE QUICKLY
THANK YOU ALL OF YOU ARE
SO QUICK QUESTION FROM A
VERY QUICKLY HE CHAIR --
STREAMLINED SO --
DESIGN -- THAT -- WE COVER
CONSUMERS QUITE A BIT IN OUR
YOUR WITH YOU'RE REQUIRED TO
REPRESENTS IS REPRESENT AND
WHITE JDK HAS BROUGHT FORTH
WE HEARD THAT -- IT COULD
BE A FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
REPLICATE ACROSS THE STATE
LINE WE BOTH NOW THEY'RE ALSO
OUR CALVET MEMBERS THAT WILL
NOT HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE
FOR THAT TYPE OF STREAMLINED
WHAT DO YOU DO IN THAT
CASE AND I THINK ARMED ARE
YOU'RE GONNA BE A BRING
CONSISTENT CONSENSUS WHEN WITHIN
YOUR ORGANIZATION ARE FINE
AJGA TEMPORARY WELL YEAH I
MEAN WE HAVE FOUR NEED TO CITIES
AND STATE AND YOU KNOW THEY'RE
VERY DIFFERENT FROM LOTS OF
DIFFERENT WAYS SO I MEAN YOU
CAN BE DIFFICULT TO GET YOUR
TO CONSENSUS BUT I THINK WE CAN
GET YOU MANY MANY -- YOU KNOW
JURISDICTIONS ARE BETTER THAT
ARE WILLING TO PARTNER WITH THE
STATE AND YOU KNOW STREAMLINED
SOMEBODY REALLY THINK IT'S GONNA
BE INCENTIVES THAT ARE GOING TO
HELP THOSE AND OVER EXISTING TO
GET THEM OVER THE HUMP AND HE
I THINK HE WAS SPEAKING EARLIER
BUT THAT'S OF REALLY THOUGHTFUL
IDEAS ABOUT WHAT SOME OF THE
SENATE COULD BE -- BUT YOU
KNOW I THAT THAT'S GOING TO
BE -- YOU KNOW WE ARE TO HAVE
SOME STREAMLINED COOL SO OF
YOU KNOW YOU FIVE FORTY MILES
YOU'RE EIGHTY SEVEN THREE MODELS
MAYBE IT'S AN ANSWER PLANS
-- THE DIFFICULTY AROUND THAT
THOUGH IS GETTING THAT SICK WITH
WEEKLY THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE
AT REALLY DIFFICULT A MODEST
WE CAN BE GOTTEN FIVE FOURTEEN
SEVENTY THREE WAS EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT IF WE'RE TO GET IT TO
THE CLEANING PLAN LEVEL WOULD
BE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT -- BUT
IF I THINK THERE'S A PATH FOR
THEIR FAMILY AS LONG AS YOU
WERE TALKING INCIDENTS ALONG
WITH US I THINK WE GET THAT IN
WRITING FRUSTRATED AND I KNOW
WHERE MANY YOUR MEMBERS AND
FRUSTRATED I I'VE ALSO HEARD
THIS FROM BUILDING THREE AND
FRUSTRATED THAT ARE TO BE ABLE
TO MANDATE IS NOT PUTTING MONEY
ON THE SKIN IN THE GAME GAME
RIGHT FOR -- AND THAT'S WHY
I THINK AND WANT TO SPEAK FOR
THE CHAIR BUT I THINK THAT'S
WHY -- YOU'RE GONNA SEE S.
ADVANCING -- EVERY DEVELOPMENT
FOR FOCUS REDEVELOPMENT AND AS
WE HEARD AT OUR LAST HEARING
THERE IS A DIRECT NEXT WITH
THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS NUMBERS
IN THIS DAY AND WEARING
REDEVELOPMENT WENT AWAY --
BY THE GOVERNOR YEAH IN A
HAS GONE -- IN LEVY COMES
LESS AFFORDABLE YEAH
SO I THINK -- AGAIN IF
THE LEGISLATURE IS GOING TO TELL
LOCAL COMMUNITIES THAT THEY'RE
GONNA HAVE TO DO X. Y. Z.
COMES TO HOUSING AND WE BETTER
THAT SHOULD BE GOOD PARTNERS
AND PROVIDE A LITTLE FIVE
DOLLARS THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO
MAKE THOSE INVESTMENTS THAT WE
ALL WANT TO SEE YEAH I WOULD
CERTAINLY CONCUR MINUTES LONGER
NOT TELL US TOO MUCH TO PUT
DOWN OF THIS GET WE HAVE
SO ON -- REQUEST
FROM MISTER CASEY IF
YOU CAN JUST SELL ON --
SEQUESTERING LIVE IN A HOUSE
AND ALL THAT THAT THE DOCTOR
HAS CONCERNS ABOUT THAT BUT IF
YOU'RE TO LOOK AT -- LEGISLATURE
LIKES IN PUBLIC RIGHT
OF PILOT PROJECTS SO DOESN'T
GREATER PRESSING BUT WE'RE ALSO
ABLE TO SEE IF YOU'RE ABLE TO
SEE THAT -- IF YOU'RE BUILDING
MAKING THIS UP RIGHT NOW BY THE
WAY RIGHT HUNDRED UNITS ARE
LESS YOU'RE GONNA BE GUARANTEED
TO BE ABLE TO MOVE IF YOU'RE IN
A AYE IN A DOWNTOWN CORE TRANSIT
ORIENTED -- DON'T MAKE SAID DR
-- AND NOT HAVE TO BE HAVE TO GO
THROUGH THAT ANYTHING YOU TRY
THAT OUT ACROSS THE STATE BUSY
WITH THAT WORKS BECAUSE I THINK
THAT -- THIS RYAN IS ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT IT'S CAN BE DIFFICULT
RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO GET
SOMETHING -- EXPENSIVE
BUT IF YOU DO A PILOT PROJECT
WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON
I CAN SEE IT HERE TO OUR
I SEE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MAINTAINING LOCAL CONTROL OVER
THE SHAPE OF THE PROJECT DESIGN
AND ALL THE CONDITIONS VERSES
ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES --
SEQUEL SO FOR EXAMPLE YOU JUST
DID AB TWENTY ONE SIXTY TWO
FOR PRESS FOR HOUSING WHERE
AND LA CITY ALSO GOOD IS --
FOR ONLY FROM IS FOR THE HOUSE
SO YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE DESIGN
OR THE CONDITION TO RETAIN OUR
LOCAL CONTROL IMPOSE THAT BUT
YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO
TRIGGER SEE COR AND AND THE
AND THE BILL TO GO TO COURT
AND SO I WOULD DRAW THAT AS A
PILOT PROJECT -- TRY THAT
PLEASE IF I COULD BUILD OFF
THAT I MEAN IT'S ALMOST YOUR
SWAP IN ONE COLOR PROCESS FOR
ANOTHER FARM SO IF YOU WANT
TO STREAMLINE SEQUEL YOUR
TWO BILLION A YEAR SHORTENS
DURATION MAYBE SHORTEN OPPORTUNE
FOR PUBLIC COMMENT BUT IF YOU
PRESERVE THE DESIGNER VIEWS
THAT YOU GAUGE MEASURES OBJECT
OF THIS IS ALL THIS STUFF ON
THE ON THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
LIKE YOU'RE GETTING ALL THAT
PUBLIC INPUT AND ALL OF THE
FORMS TO RAISE ISSUES WHETHER
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CRISIS AND
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH LOOKING
A MISTER RYAN WINNER CITY
COUNCIL LOOKS AT HIS OWN
PRIORITIES IS THERE A
PECKING ORDER WOULD NAY
RATHER LIKE HAVE A COSCO
DOWN THEN HAVE MORE HOUSING
THERE IS A PECKING ORDER --
BUT I BELIEVE AT LEAST IN MY
MIND THAT PECKING ORDER REALLY
STARTS WITH THAT OUR HOUSING IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WE GET
EVERYTHING NUMBERS AS WE HAVE
TO PLAN FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER
OF HOUSING UNITS AT ALL INCOME
LEVELS NOW -- SO WE HAVE TO GO
BACK AND WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY
ALL THESE AREAS OUR COMMUNITY WE
CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT ENTIRE READ
A NUMBER -- DOWN TO THE TO THE
PARCEL LEVEL -- SO THAT THAT'S
BASED ON WE HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE
THE NUMBER THE STATE THEN WILL
SURVIVE AND IF WE DO ALL THE
RECEIVER AND DO IT WE ARE NOT
A CERTIFIED PLAN AND WE LIVE
WORK AND AND YOU GOOD I THINK
FROM THAT POINT ON WE DON'T HAVE
TO YOU KNOW PICK AND CHOOSE --
YOU KNOW WHAT SORT OF VALUE ONE
INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL -- BUT
THERE CERTAINLY IS A QUESTION
COOL -- BETWEEN YOU KNOW AND
HOUSING AND SOME THE COMMERCIAL
ACTIVITY SAYS MOST CITIES WERE
GET A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF
PROPERTY TAX ON STAGE AVERAGES
ABOUT THIRTEEN PERCENT WE HAVE
SOME JURISDICTIONS ARE LOAN NO
TO GET BASICALLY NONE -- SO THEN
THEY RELY VERY HEAVILY ON SALES
TAX GENERATING ACTIVITIES SO IT
IS A BALANCE OF A LITTLE BIT IN
MY MIND IT REALLY STARTS WITH
HOUSING THAT'S THE FIRST EXAMPLE
FOR YOU REQUIRE THAT THERE IS
A DIFFERENCE IN STRUCTURE BASED
ON WHAT YOU ITS OWN FOR WHAT
YOU WERE TRYING TO ATTRACT AND
AND WHAT YOU WOULD COMPETE WITH
OTHER CITIES FORCE WELL I WOULD
AGREE TO THEIR THERE'S THERE'S
CERTAIN PUSHES AND PULLS I'M
HOWEVER YOU KNOW THE BASS LINE
REALLY IS IS HOUSING AND ONCE
WE DO THAT AND THEN HOUSING
CATERPILLAR KICKS AND WE CAN'T
AND I PROJECTS ARE CONSISTENT
WITH THE PLANNING SO IT'S ALMOST
LIKE THAT THE SAFEST PLACE RIGHT
THERE IS ONE THOUSAND CANCEL
AFTER THAT SIR IF I HOUSING
YOU THAT YOU HOUSING
WHETHER AFFORDABLE ARE
JUST NORMAL HOUSING ARE YOU
BEING COMPENSATED ENOUGH TO
PROVIDE YOU PUBLIC SERVICES
YOU KNOW IT REALLY VARIES WIDELY
-- I'M NOT THAT THE FISCAL
EXPERT OF THE SHOPPING WE HAVE
I THINK IT IS THAT -- BUT THIRTY
TO GET THERE IS THERE IS THAT
QUESTION COOL WHEN IT COMES
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WE DON'T
GET PROPERTY TAX ON THAT -- WE
WILL WELL YOU KNOW WE WILL ON
ON MERCURY UNITS -- BUT THEN
YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE SEEN OVER
THE YEARS IS THAT YOU KNOW
SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR THE
SERVICES THAT ARE DEMANDED BY
THE RESIDENTS ARE NOW LIVING
UNITS SO THEN YOU KNOW WHAT WE
HAVE TO THEN YOUR PERSONNEL FOR
ESSENTIALLY IN ORDER TO PAY FOR
WHAT'S GOING TO BE EXPECTED ON
THOSE ESSENTIAL SERVICES WATER
SEWER POLICE FIRE THAT SORT
OF STUFF AND IT OF THOSE YOU
COMMUNITY FEES AROUND PARKS
AND LIBRARIES IN OPEN SPACE NOT
SORT OF STUFF -- SO THIS IS
IT IF IT'S A STRUGGLE IT'S NOT
IT IT'S A LITTLE A LITTLE OUT
OF WHACK IN A CERTAIN WAY DRIVE
LOOK AT ALL FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY
TWO OCCUR CITIES ARE YOU KNOW
-- IN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL
FINANCIAL REPORTS AREN'T VERY
COURAGE FOR YOUR FACING
FINANCIAL PRESSURES WITH
THE INCREASING PENSION COSTS
SO HOW DO WE BALANCE
RINA REQUIREMENTS WITH
STRUGGLING CITIES YET ON HOW
TO HOW ARE WE GOING TO HELP YOU
SUCCEED WHEN WHEN YOU'RE GETTING
SOMETHING DIFFERENT FISCAL
PRESSURES YET DOES AN EXCELLENT
POINT I MEAN MANY UNIVERSITIES
ARE ARE STRUGGLING AT THE
BALANCE A LOT OF DIFFERENT NEEDS
I THINK ONE WAY TO TO HELP IS
FOR BECAUSE OF IF WE FALL SHORT
OF WHAT WILL CAUSE READERS NOW
PATTERNS PRODUCTIONS AND REALLY
YOU KNOW THE PLANNING YOU KNOW
TOOL IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE
LAST COUPLE YEARS KANTOR THIS
THIS THAT METRIC SO WE FALL
SHORT ARENA THAT WE DON'T HAVE
ACCESS TO CERTAIN YOU KNOW
FUNDS WE HAVE STREAMLINED I'M
WE DON'T YOUR REPORTING LOSE
ACCESS TO CERTAIN FUNDS -- BUT
I THINK AWAY THAT THIS YEAR
OUT AND HE TO HELP OUT WITH
DEVELOPER FEES AND OTHER THINGS
WOULD BE THAT TAX INCREMENT WE
CALLED YOU KNOW WILLINGLY COME
AND AND ENSURE THAT INCREASES
AND THE NEAR THE STATE COULD
SAY WE'RE OKAY WE'RE GONNA COME
OUT AT ALL OR OFFSET CERTAIN
FEES THEY CAN BE DEVELOPMENTS
FEASIBLE I REFUSE OR WHATEVER
THE STATE ONCE OR YOU KNOW
INCREASE GREATER DENSITY AROUND
TRAINS YOU'LL GET A LITTLE BIT
MORE OF THE ACCURATE -- I I
THINK THEIR WAYS OF DOING THAT
-- IT'S JUST CAN TAKE A LOOK A
LITTLE TWEAKING OF THIS AT ALL
REALLY -- CAME OUT THIS WEEK AND
SAID WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FIFTEEN
BILLION MARKET SURPLUS FUNDS
AND CITIES DON'T GET ANY OF
THAT THAT ALL GOES TO SACRAMENTO
YOU'RE STILL RELY ON SALES TAX
AND MAYBE YOU'RE INCREASING
THAT WOULD BALLOT MEASURES --
BUT YOU'RE STILL KIND OF -- AM
STRUMS OR SCHOOL DISTRICTS YORK
COUNTIES -- BUT THE STATE'S
GONNA LIKE MAYBE IF THE LA DOES
CORRECT WE DON'T HAVE A MARKET
CRASHERS SOMETHING HAPPEN --
WE WERE GONNA BE FLUSH AGAIN
THIS YEAR BUT WE'RE NOT YOU
KNOW HOW TO HOW DO WE HELP YOU
WITH WITH SOME OF THAT LARGESSE
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE NEED TO TAKE
CARE OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES YOU'RE
YOU'RE DOING THE WORK AS THAT'S
A CRITICAL FOR THE STATE AT THE
CITY LEVEL ON THE COUNTY LEVEL
SCHOOL DISTRICT LEVEL AND AND
I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S
A LEGAL SOME WAY YOU CAN GET
INVOLVED WITH THE BUDGET PROCESS
TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO YOU
KNOW PROVIDE VIEW THE INCENTIVES
WHICH THAT HEALTH CENTERS TO
THE DEVELOPERS WITH THE BILL
THE PRODUCT AND AND THEN YOU
WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE A
GOOD IDEA TO GET THIS IN TYLER
PROCESS EXPEDITED RIGHT
AND SOMEHOW WE WIN YEAH IT
WOULD BE EASY CARROTS INSTEAD OF
STICKS AND RENO REQUIREMENTS AND
ALL THE REST JUST KEEP HAMMER
YEAH SO IF YOU HAD COME UP WITH
SOME CREATIVE IDEAS SO THAT
THAT SOMEHOW SACRAMENTO BECOMES
MORE OF A PARTNER BECAUSE WE
CERTAINLY CAN BE USED WHEN WE'RE
OUT OF MONEY RIGHT THERE DONE
THAT RIGHT SO SO
MISTER CASEY I JUST -- WITH
RENO RENO EVERY YEAR AS SICK
REFORM I TRY TO BUILD A FEW
YEARS AGO AND SEEK REFORM IDEAS
OF WHAT WE JUST IDENTIFY WITH
THOSE FIVE PARTIES ARE THE YOU
KNOW THE UNION ONE OF JUST YOU
KNOW BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE
TO NOTE WHO'S SUING YOU RIGHT
SO THESE GUYS HIDE BEHIND A
PHONY NAME AND AND AND THEN
YOU GOT TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS
LITIGATION AND IT COULD BE A
UNION WHO DID WAS DISSATISFIED
THEY DIDN'T GET TAKEN UP FOR THE
TO THE BUILDING OF THE PROJECT
OR WHATEVER CAN A FIFTY PERCENT
OF THOSE LAWSUITS WERE ACTUALLY
AGAINST GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES SO
THE TAXPAYERS HAVE BEEN TAKING
IT SHORT TO JUST THAT SETTLE
YOU KNOW SILLY FUTURE IN YOUR
CASE THAT YOU JUST POINTED OUT
LITERALLY LEGALIZED EXTORTION
IT ACTUALLY IS AND SO I WE
WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW
TO DO THAT BUT THAT BILL JUST
JUST TO IDENTIFY THE PLAINTIFFS
IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT WHO THEY
ARE TELL THE CASES DONE I
MEAN I HAVE THE REPORT EVERY
CONTRIBUTION I RECEIVE I HAVE
TO DO FULL DISCLOSURE IS ELECTED
OFFICIALS AND YOU CAN'T TELL
ME I DON'T GET FULL DISCLOSURE
BY WHO IS DOING REFERS SEEK BUT
I COULD NOT GET THAT BILL OUT
OF COMMITTEE AND TOOK IT TOOK
-- USING A LITIGATION TOOL IT'S
BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES AND
DECADES ABOUT PEOPLE WHO SUED
TO OFTEN THAT THIS LADY IN TO
GET A JUDGE IN THIS ONE CASE TO
GET ORDER DISCOVERY AGAINST ACT
THAT PLAINTIFF CREWS AND GUESS
WHAT HAPPENED THEY WOULD LIKE
AND THE FORM UNDER ANOTHER NAME
MEDICAL WE HAVE EIGHTY EIGHT YOU
KNOW WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIX
THOSE LOOK YOU KNOW LAWSUITS AS
WELL I THINK WE'RE MAKING SOME
HEADWAY BUT THEY STILL CROP UP
SO IF YOU HAVE A GOOD BILL IDEA
I'M HAPPY THAT I WAS HAPPY TO
COMPLETELY THAT REGARD OKAY I'LL
TRY TO WORK WITH THE CHAMBER
MAYBE SENATOR BELLA HELPING
THIS TIME I DON'T KNOW WITH
THANK YOU THINK IN THE FUTURE
OKAY -- THANK YOU VERY MUCH
TELL US LEVERAGE THAT WILL --
WRAPPED UP FOR US -- IF
THERE'S ANY PUBLIC --
COMMENTS FROM ANYBODY WANTS TO
RIDDLES YES COME ON FOR
PLEASE WELCOME
ONE DAY HOLY FOR MEANING
-- WITH THAT LIGHT HAS PUBLIC
AFFAIRS HERE ON BEHALF OF
CALIFORNIAN ME TODAY AND JUST
YESTERDAY I WAS IN SANTA ROSA
WITH SENATOR MCGUIRE AT THE
ECONOMIC SUMMIT THE CALIFORNIA
FOR A PUT ON NAY THINK A LOT
OF HAS BEEN WORKING IN THE
SPACE FOR THE LAST DECADE --
ARE DELIGHTED TO SEE HOW MUCH
FOCUSES ON HOUSING AND ON
THE AMBITIOUS GOAL THAT THE
GOVERNOR ELECT HAS SET OF THAT
WE MENTIONED EARLIER TODAY A
THREE POINT FIVE MILLION HOMES
BY TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY FIVE
IS A VERY AMBITIOUS GOAL BUT
IT CAN'T BE DONE WITH WHAT A
LOT OF PEOPLE SAID WITHOUT ALL
OF THE ABOVE AND A LOT OF THE
CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN HAD
TODAY IN GERMAN WIRE I CAN'T
-- QUOTE YOU EXACTLY -- BUT
YESTERDAY WE WERE DELIGHTED
TO HEAR THAT YOU WERE --
PUSHING FOR A CULTURAL SHIFT
IN OUR COMMUNITIES A CHANGE OF
ATTITUDES IN OUR COMMUNITIES
AND THE FOLKS THAT FOR YEARS
HAVE BEEN SAYING NO TO EVERY
PROJECT AS PROPOSED ON THEIR
STREET IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD
THAT HAS IT'S TIME THAT THAT
ATTITUDE HAS TO CHANGE WE THINK
THERE'S MORE THAN JUST BAD
ATTITUDES THAT HAVE TO CHANGE
AS WE HEARD TODAY THERE'S A
LOT ABOUT POLICIES THAT HAVE
TO CHANGE AS WELL SO IT'S BE
GONNA HAVE TO BEGIN NOW FORTY
YEARS ABOUT LOCAL GOVERNMENT
POLICIES ENOUGH AND ORDINANCES
AND STATE LAWS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN
OVER WRITING THEM AND GIVEN THEM
LOCAL CONTROL FOR MANY YEARS
CLEARLY ARE NOT WORKING LOCAL
CONTROL IN THIS REGARD DOES NOT
WORK IN SOME AREAS IT'S WORKING
A BUT IN MOST THEY ARE NOT
YESTERDAY WE ALSO HEARD FROM
THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA SANTA
ROSA BUTTE COUNTY LATE COUNTIES
AND SO MANY OTHER PLACES THAT
HAVE NOW FORCED TO CHANGE
THEIR HOUSING POLICY LAWS DUE
TO FIRES IS WHAT IS THE ALLOW
THEM YESTERDAY TO TESTIFY TO
SAYING WE HAD TO THROW OUT THE
POLICIES BENEFIT NOT WORKING FOR
LAST FORTY YEARS AND START FROM
SCRATCH HOPEFULLY THE REST
OF THE STATE DOESN'T HAVE TO
BE ON FIRE TO GET THOSE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS AND COMMUNITIES
TO START SUPPORTING SIRIUS
LAND YOU SOME POLICY CHANGES
SO I'M HOPING THAT THE STATE
ANOTHER CITIES WILL TAKE SOME
SCRIPTS OUT OF WHAT'S HAPPENING
IN SANTA ROSA WHAT THEY'RE DOING
RIGHT EVEN DONE DONE WHERE JUST
YESTERDAY THE HEAD OF THE C. B.
I GÂY WISH HE WAS HERE TODAY TO
TESTIFY WHICH HE HASN'T BUT HE
PRESENTED THAT SOMEBODY ASKING
THE BUILDING COMMUNITY ACTUALLY
STAND THE CHALLENGE AND BUILD
THREE POINT FIVE MILLION HOMES
AND THE NEXT FEW YEARS AND HE
SAID YES WE CAN BUT IF YOU DO
THE MATH ANY HAD US ALL PUT
ON OUR CALCULATORS AND DID THE
MATH AND HOW MUCH IT COST PER
HOME ON AVERAGE TIMES THREE
POINT FIVE MILLION IT WAS OVER
TWO TRILLION DOLLARS WOULD
BE REQUIRED TO ACTUALLY FIND
THE NEED THAT'S NOT REALISTIC
WHAT HE SAID WE CAN'T DO AS
WITH EVERY CITY IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA DID WHAT SANTA ROSA
DOING HE SAID WE COULD TELL THEM
IF EVERY CITY DID IT WE CAN
DO IT SO I LOOK TO THIS LEAGUE
OF CITIES AND OTHERS TO LOOK
TOWARDS SANTA ROSA AS A REALLY
GOOD NEW EXAMPLE AND MODEL THAT
WE HAVE THAT WE HOPE THAT THE
STATE MAY CONSIDER LEGISLATING
SOME OF THOSE ORDINANCES AND
THINGS FOR THOSE CITIES AND LA
COUNTY I MEAN ONLY CITY TODAY
HAS ALSO A REALLY GOOD MODEL
THAT'S WORKING HOW DO WE FIND
THE GOOD MODELS AND YOU THE
LEGISLATORS ARE THE LEADERS
OF THE STATE SO IN THE CASES
THAT AS SENATOR MORE LIKE
SAID EARLIER THE NIMBIS MAN HE
TESTIFIED TO IT WHAT DO WE DO
NOW TO GET A GIVE THE POWER TO
GIVE PEOPLE THE COURAGE IN THE
POLITICAL COURAGE TO OVERRIDE
THOSE EMMYS AND DO THE RIGHT
THING THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT
WE HEARD FROM THE PREVIOUS
PANEL IS MOVE THE POWER THAT
THE LEGISLATURE PUTS A REAL
HAMMER I'VE POLICY AN OVERRIDING
THEIR LOCAL CONTROL AND GIVE
THAT COVER THAT'S WHERE WE'RE
REALLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO MEET
THOSE DEMANDS SO WE SUPPORT
ALL THE DIFFERENT POLICIES
THAT YOU'VE HEARD TODAY BUT
LOCAL ZONING REFORM I THINK
IN THE PREVIOUS PANEL IS THE
KEY TO MAKE SURE THOSE POLICY
CHANGES MEET ALL THESE WONDERFUL
FISCAL SOLUTIONS THAT WE'VE GOT
THIS YEAR WITH THAT WONDERFUL
INITIATIVE THAT PASSED BUT WE
REALLY HAVE TO HAVE MASSIVE
MASSIVE POLICY CHANGES AND
EVERYTHING WE SUPPORT THAT
WE HEARD TODAY AND THEN SOME
SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH YOU MORE ON DECEMBER
THIRD AND ALL THROUGHOUT
JANUARY THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
-- -- -- THE OTHER TESTIMONY
ONE FOUR WELCOME
GOOD AFTERNOON CHRISSY MIGUEL
FROM THE BUILDING INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION LOS ANGELES AND HER
CHAPTER ON SO FIRST OF ALL THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING THIS
GREAT DISCUSSION TODAY I THINK
THAT IT'S BROUGHT TO LIGHT A
LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE
BEEN SAYING FOR QUITE SOME TIME
-- THE ONE THING THAT I DID
WANT TO POINT OUT AND I'M SO
GLAD THAT THAT DÂN DON MEYER
HAS HAS BEEN IN CONVERSATIONS
OF WITH THIS GROUP AND OTHERS
BUT THE ONE THING THAT I DID
WANT TO MAKE SURE WAS ON THE
RECORD IS I'VE HEARD A LOT OF
PHENOMENAL -- DISCUSSIONS
TODAY ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO
ALLEVIATE THIS HOUSING CRISIS
AND WE SUPPORT A GREAT
NUMBER OF THOSE BUT I WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE
UNDERSTANDS -- THAT THAT I CAN
CONNECTS THE DOTS HERE SO
THERE IS A VERY REAL CONCERN
THAT THERE'S GENTRIFICATION
THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING PUSHED
OUT OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS
-- AND THAT THE LOW INCOME
-- LOW INCOME MEMBERS OF
SOCIETY ARE NOT ABLE TO
AFFORD EITHER THEIR RENT
FOR OUR HOMES -- AS WE HEARD
TEACHERS -- ANOTHER LOW
INCOME EMPLOYEES ARE BEING
YOU KNOW FORCE LIVE IN TENTS
I WANT TO CONNECT THAT WITH
WELL THIS NEED TO
BUILD MORE OF THESE LOW
INCOME UNITS WE CANNOT
THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY CANNOT
BILLS OF THOSE LOW INCOME UNITS
UNLESS THAT PENCILS
OUT FOR THEM SO
IT'S A VERY FINE LINE THAT
WE NEED TO WALK TO FIGURE OUT
HOW WE GET THAT DONE
BECAUSE WHAT WE SEE IN SOME
JURISDICTIONS IS -- YOU'LL
SEE LINKAGE FREEZER INCLUSION
ZONING -- THOSE ONLY WORK
IF THERE'S INCENTIVES TAKE FOR
EXAMPLE THE TEO DD OF JJJ THAT
WORKS BECAUSE THOSE ARE
INCENTIVES SO WE ARE SEEING
THOSE APPLICATIONS COME IN
AND WE ARE SEEING THAT AS WE
HEARD TODAY ALMOST TWO THOUSAND
UNITS THIS YEAR PUT INTO THE
PIPELINE BUT JUST
STICK WITH NO CARE IT IS NOT
GOING TO BE THE SOLUTION HERE
-- SO AS YOU GO FORWARD AS
YOU CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE
DISCUSSIONS ARE ARE I WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAN THE BACK OF YOUR
MIND YOUR UNDERSTANDING WELL
OKAY WELL WE'RE HEARING THAT
THE POOR CAN'T AFFORD WE'RE
HEARING THAT -- THAT PEOPLE
ARE GETTING KICKED OUT YES
BUT EVEN TALKING ABOUT ELLIS
ACT EVICTIONS SURE WE DO
NEED TO FIND A WAY TO ADDRESS
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING --
DISPLACED BUT IF WE JUST APPLY
THIS BLANKET POLICY WHICH SAYS
WELL YOU YOU CAN'T DO THIS WELL
YOU CAN'T DO THAT WERE YOU CAN'T
KICK OUT WHAT DO YOU DO IN A
PLACE LIKE LA OR SAN FRANCISCO
WHERE YOU'RE PRETTY MUCH BILLS
YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T SAY WILL
DEVELOPER YOU CAN'T DO THAT
BECAUSE THEN WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN IS SUDDENLY RUN OUT OF
PLACES TO DEVELOP SO PLEASE
KEEP KEEP THOSE CONNECTIONS
IN MIND AS AS -- YOU CONTINUE
THESE DISCUSSIONS AND I WOULD
REALLY LIKE TO FOLLOW UP WITH
YOUR OFFICES THANK YOU VERY MUCH
VERNE MONTHS -- OTHER
OTHERS WANT TO ADDRESS THIS

ALL THE VARIOUS INPUTS THERE
CERTAINLY WAS A COMMON THEME
THAT ARE REALLY IS IN FAVOR OF
-- PUTTING TOGETHER THE TYPE

OPINION WE CAN FORM A COALITION

OF THESE HEARINGS -- AS
