Last year, many Los Angeles activists felt blindsided by legislation written by Wiener to increase housing construction near transit. They worried that it would have undermined recently enacted plans aimed at preventing gentrification and displacement in their communities, and their opposition helped sink the bill.
It doesn’t help that they’re doing yet another one-size-fits-all approach. Fortunately, that’s killed past versions of these bills. Speaking of one-size-fits-all, I feel California’s new minimum wage law (which will eventually ramp minimum wage in the whole state to $15 per hour by the beginning of 2023) is going to be brutal on the poorer parts of the state.
Would be nice if there was a prediction market on this sort of thing. I miss the Foresight Exchange.
