PLANNING WATCH-From the 1930s to the late 1960s the Democratic Party stood for two policies that successfully addressed this country’s chronic housing crisis: public housing and the minimum wage.
1) Public and publicly-subsidized housing. These housing policies, which date back to the New Deal, gradually ended beginning with the Nixon administration in the early 1970s and the dissolution of California’s Redevelopment Agencies in 2011.

When City Hall Does the Right Thing for the Wrong Reason - Dumping the Miracle Mile's 'Transit Neighborhood Plan'

PLANNING WATCH-The Los Angeles City Planning Department recently announced that it is terminating work on its long-stalled Purple Line Extension Transit Neighborhood Plan (TNP).
Instead, it will fold this controversial developer give-away scheme into the forthcoming Update of the Wilshire Community Plan. That Update is scheduled to begin in 2022, which marks 20 years since the Wilshire Plan’s previous update and nine years since METRO first paid Los Angeles $4,480,000 to prepare the Purple Line and several other Transit Neighborhood Plans.
