Jon Lovett’s face when LA City Councilmember Imelda Padilla said she forced an affordable housing project to go down from six stories to three stories and add in EV charging spaces

I'm still stuck on this: when she says "big ugly cement box" does she mean ... stucco?
-
hahahaha
-
“Imelda” namesake vibes are strong
-
Got a relative in urban planning and her main concern is tall buildings in TODs next to runways at LAX or Burbank airport which would alter plane approach/depart paths.
-
Where can I watch it? What’s it called?
-
Adding EV charging… ok, fine… likely cutting the number of units in half? Fucking insane
-
He's got a very expressive face. I loved him in Rat Race.
-
She said she forced an affordable housing project to go from six to three stories and add parking as a response to a question about how she was dealing with making California housing more affordable!

If you want to spend you life fucking other people, pick a career as a dominatrix, not public service.

If we limited car ownership to those with off street parking instead of requiring off street parking for all apartments, this NIMBY issue could fade away.
Japan does this.

there are some people in this world coughmiserable centristscough whose sole purpose is to make sure nobody gets everything they want.
if world peace was on the table, they'd find a way undermine it just for the sake of knocking it down a peg.

Her argument that the bill would strip away her power over housing is not as convincing as she thinks it is. The longer I listen to her, the more I want her stripped of all power or influence in housing or any other aspect of people's lives.
-
holy shit she was so proud of herself for working outside her jurisdiction to ruin that project.
-
Bwahahaha:
-
Padilla did some absolute fuck shit
-
sir, i just bought this monitor, please don't make me punch it.
-
Unreal.
-
God forbid we allow something like this next to a transit station in the fucking second biggest city in the country.
-
omg, y'all. The rents are gonna be SO CHEAP in this 7 story Type 1 building, because I've been informed by a reliable source that everyone hates tall concrete structures!🤡
-
I recently toured a $2M 50 yo condo with shared laundry. The CM demanding in-unit laundry demonstrates just how far she is from being remotely capable of meeting the moment.
-
And somehow not even the worst of LA councilmembers...she voted yes on single stair reform and Traci Park didn't!

Her argument in this video is more or less “I like the power I personally have in LA’s politicized land use process and don’t want to give it up.”

If you live in California and believe in building more housing, please call your assembly member and ask them to vote "yes" on SB 79!
I did it on Friday and it takes < 1 minute

I still can't believe Councilmember Padilla used forcing a developer to reduce the size of an affordable housing project as an example of how she is making housing more affordable for the people in her district!

God I wish nithya was on the metro board instead of her

Austinite here who would love a six-story affordable housing development in my neighborhood (with no parking whatsoever!), come here and build it thx
-
Don't know why you'd have to remove 3 stories to add EV charging. My bike uses a regular outlet and is fully charged in under 2 hours.
-
I TRIED to watch, but couldn’t get past the first 2 minutes of her talking about “unfunded mandates” before I realized she had NO CLUE what she was talking about.
-
The EV charging station but feels extremely out of touch.
-
Coulda had some free shoes!
-

-
just watched. even if i disagree with her i was astounded that she talked about everything in a way that's only intelligible if you're deep into housing in the city of LA. on a show of national scope
-
oh god why did I watch this. I am so angry now. jesus christ.
