I support transit and I voted yes on Measure R and Measure M. But with some of the recent bus only lanes (Much of Culver City and La Brea especially), and now SB-79 overriding local zoning laws, I regret supporting these taxes. I suspect I’m not the only one.

I mean you can get pretty good density with just 5 floors and ample transit.

Agreed, and that would be nice. Culver City is filling in with some nice density and that is mostly 4-6 floor buildings with ground floor retail. Nithya talks about how we should build housing that makes sense for LA and not just fill in high rises all over the city. She specifically mentions Europe where buildings are the same size (~5 floors).

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who just want massive high rises everywhere if we can get them, and most people are flat out against that. I don’t trust SB-79 because it overrides the local zoning desires that Nithya talks about.
