Economists say that building more homes could solve the issue of displacement among L.A.'s longtime residents. But others fear that new market-rate buildings will only accelerate gentrification.
Sandra Pruitt escorts kids she babysits to a park near her Jefferson Park home in Los Angeles. As housing costs rise sharply, Pruitt worries longtime residents will be forced out.
A proposed state bill tries to thread that needle. Senate Bill 50 would remove local development restrictions but establish different rules for wealthy and poorer neighborhoods and bar developers from using the bill’s incentives on land where tenants lived for at least the previous seven years. Neighborhoods zoned single-family wouldn’t be exempt. But certain “sensitive communities” at risk of gentrification would. That exception would last five years to give the neighborhoods time to craft an alternative plan to boost housing supply while protecting residents from displacement.
Housing costs have risen across California in recent years. But among the areas with the sharpest upswing are south of the 10 Freeway along the Expo line from USC west to La Cienega Boulevard.
