Supports more density and the maximal plan, but worries his neighborhood's new SB 79 development rights are being transferred to private developers without any compensation mechanism for residents.

Speaking for Livable Communities Initiative, he thanked planners but said none of the three options puts density on the boulevards as envisioned, blaming the 1990 height initiative, and asked the city attorney's office to look into redevelopment-area exceptions.

Thanked staff and council for protecting residential neighborhoods and urged the committee to pursue legal or council action to make the corridor-focused original plan workable despite the height limit.

OpposedMike BlainsleyOct 20, 2026

Read a statement from Scott Epstein of Furthering Housing LA on behalf of a pro-housing coalition, urging rejection of the three options because they fail to send density to corridors suited to single-stair buildings and don't maximize SB 79's housing potential.
