A community-based organization fighting for tenant rights, equitable development, and healthy homes in South L.A.
South Central Los Angeles

Republicans are nervous about their chances of winning in 2026—and that’s exactly why they’re busy redistricting other states to ensure they can keep control of the House: https://t.co/5dire6YAeZ For this reason, we need to vote YES on Prop. 50 this fall! Paid for by SAJE.

“LA reforms rent control for first time in 40 years, lowering rent hikes for most tenants” (via @LAist)
laist.com
Under the reforms approved by a majority of City Council members, rent hikes would be capped at 4%, even if inflation in the overall economy runs higher.

i think we should let people who earn $30k or less and are head of household in nyc share their experiences with what happens to their rent when high-end apartments are built in their neighborhood. i think we should use their actual knowledge, not developer-funded graphs.
This is a good illustration of a general principle: As you build new high-end apartments, people move up, freeing up supply of lower-tier apartments. Building luxury housing thus lowers downmarket rents. You don't need to build 'affordable housing' to make housing affordable.

Today, NYC is voting in a mayoral election where the affordability question is front and center. Here in L.A., our leaders have an opportunity to demonstrate whether they're willing to actually do something about the cost of living for working people: https://t.co/A5SwL4wHPf

This morning, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) voted to declare the former Bethune Public Library in South L.A. as surplus land. The decision opens the site up to be developed for much-needed affordable housing! ✨ https://t.co/tgdn7tIiwp

Financial resources aside, how many years of LA City and County employees' time — valuable assets in a resource-strapped region that will never be reflected in the Olympic operating budget — have already been burned for this Olympic bid over the last decade?

Public land—like the site of South L.A.’s former Bethune Library—is a precious resource. Any development on it should prioritize the needs of the tens of thousands of Angelenos who need permanent, affordable places to live: https://t.co/xfgr9kZiYo
