Older, smaller, apartment buildings in CoLa like our 2, 3 and 4-story units provide affordable housing today. The apartments above the Columbia Bar, on the bus line and close to services, makes it very affordable.

16. Housing Affordability There is a housing affordability crisis in many American cities... There are multiple causes for the housing affordability crisis, but two things are clear: 1) You cannot build new and rent or sell cheap, unless there are very deep subsidies or you build crap; 2) We are simultaneously tearing down what is affordable and building what is not. Keeping older housing maintained and occupied, both in historic districts and elsewhere, needs to be a central strategy for housing affordability.

"I’m not against development. I am just for communities navigating that development with a developer. We have community plans in South Los Angeles that we’ve been working on for 30 years that included a lot of input from a community that has historically been underrepresented in urban planning, and I think that’s important to protect."
And regarding the "affordability" issue, "Cities are struggling to deliver basic services because teachers and firefighters can’t afford to live near their jobs."
