The Failure of YMIBYism or Why SB827 Won't Save LA
b'SB827 is currently the hot button issue in Los Angeles, YIMBYs versus NIMBYs, as it were. But perhaps there are better ways to understand and fix the housing crisis in Los Angeles as the cost of houses and apartments has skyrocketed in recent years leading to a surge in people without permanent or stable housing.\\n\\nResearcher and DSA-LA member Jacob Woocher swings by the studio to talk about the housing crisis in LA. We cover how LA developed along incredibly racially and class segregated lines, how this has caused a massive housing shortage, and what LA is doing wrong. We also discuss alternative housing models and what a public investment in housing would look like.\\n\\nWe have a new musical intro provided by the band Minutes.\\nCheck out their track "Raise Our Fists" on their Bandcamp page: https://minutes.bandcamp.com/track/raise-our-fists-up\\n\\nAlso for more reading about the housing crisis in California and how the law enforcement is targeting our houseless neighbors check out our coverage on KNOCK-LA.com: https://knock-la.com/tagged/housing'
