In the Nov. 8 election in Los Angeles, three citywide proposals are up on the ballot, which, if passed, would open the door for more affordable housing, add a new property tax to fund maintenance of public recreational spaces, and create a real estate sales tax for more homeless housing.

Proposition LH: Affordable Housing

The proposition would allow the city to develop, acquire, or construct 5,000 new units of low-income housing in each council district.

“Los Angeles’ housing crisis grows worse every day, with more and more Angelenos facing housing insecurity and homelessness. … We need to get serious about tackling the crisis of our time,” Los Feliz Neighborhood Council President Jon Deutsch and Southern California Association of Non-Profit Housing Executive Director Alan Greenlee wrote in an LA’s city clerk voter pamphlet.
