The Los Angeles City Council has again come out against a plan to lift restrictions on higher-density housing near rail stations, major bus routes and areas with high concentrations of jobs.

about gentrification and the displacement of tenants, putting language in SB 50 that would allow implementation to be delayed until 2025 in higher poverty neighborhoods.

Asked about the council’s vote, Wiener said he plans to “keep working to fix a broken status quo that is resulting in real pain for millions of Californians.” Wiener has said he plans to tighten up that language in the bill in future amendments. But the measure would still increase density in single-family neighborhoods near L.A.’s public transit routes, something the Transit Oriented Communities program doesn’t do.

“It will affect the bad-actor cities around L.A. that are using local control to keep themselves wealthy and free of minorities,” he said.
