I think you missed my point. Our land is super cheap for LA (hence all the infrastructure work). Even if we built a garden shack on it, we’d have spent $600k. How could a working class family ever afford to build a house like this?

If the goal is more houses, make them faster and easier to build. Less red tape, less infrastructure requirements. Otherwise it’s only well of people like me that can (barely) afford them.

Now I’m sure you’ll say “don’t live in a coastal city then”. That where the work is. And it’s also where 40k homeless people live. Connect the dots. We need more houses. There is land to build them, it’s just insane to do that under current rules.
