He's always been a piece of shit. No way in hell am I watching this. His ex might do dumb shit and lick toads but she would literally NEVER.

So out of the 138 units, only 14 low-income units?

FUCK LANDLORDS AND FLIPPERS

And no way the low cost units are 1. low cost/affordable and 2. rent controlled

3. Big enough for a family.

I don't know about LA, but generally large residential constructions include low-income housing for the tax breaks. So they will be low-cost (likely accepting section 8) and the same size as other units. BUT those tax requirements also only require a certain number of years that the developer commit to keeping the units as low-income housing. Which in some ways makes sense, as markets change, and you don't want to place long-term restrictions on housing that might prove detrimental in the future. The exact length of how long they must remain low-income housing depends on the deal the developer hammers out with the city. Ideally, it would be a very long time, but property development is a shady business, and developers where I live have gotten disgustingly generous deals for millions in tax breaks. Like 10 year commitments. And of course, the DAY that requirement is up, they shift the units to full price, and none of the low income residents can afford it, so they are booted

So many abandoned strip malls near me but they just keep building new ones on empty green space, I hate it. Convert the developed space that already exists, humans don't need less nature, if anything they need way more of it.

In my city too. Something like 92% of the land in my city is developed. So, they've cut down like 100 acres of trees near where i live to build on. But, they don't have any tenants. They have a giant sign for interested parties to contact the city. So they've cut down the trees for business potential. Meanwhile we have a legit abandoned mall and plenty of empty buildings. :( They also tore down at least two low income govt housing (bc they weren't up to code, which fair) but now they are just empty lots.

Though they did make it illegal to park on your lawn to protect green spaces 🙄🙄🙄
