• State-mandated upzoning in all transit zones including the new Crenshaw Line and all busy bus stops will make the area unaffordable to its residents

• Permits all new buildings under 20 units to have no on-site affordable housing and in many cases reduces current overall TOC affordable housing requirements

• Rapidly accelerates real estate investment, leading to increased and uncontrolled gentrification and rampant new speculation For more information/Talking Points/Research, etc. go to 'Livable California' website https://www.livablecalifornia.org/our-positions/
