Hello All!

I previously posted about a flyer I received on my door about the upcoming Upzoning/Rezoning of weho that’s starting in July. I also extended the information about the upcoming Weho meeting on April 22nd at the ACR/Pool Building -5th floor- 8750 El Tovar Place at 6:30pm. In this meeting will be further discussion about the Upzoning/Rezoning.

I couldn’t update my original post for some reason so I’m making a new one-

Thank you all for your perspectives and providing points of thought about the above issue. Especially in regard to RSO buildings. I did some further digging of my own and yes- I do not consider this redlining- and yes, I do see protections for RSO units built into SB79, although my faith and trust in the government isn’t concrete enough for me to not still hold some weariness and concern.

All this being said, my new question is-

Are there any homeowners in this subreddit? If so, if a developer came to you and offered you a large sum, would you sell your home?

I now feel… slightly better? Knowing that, according to SB79, my RSO unit cannot be torn down… (still dunno if I trust this) but, I live nestled in the center of various houses since I am in 1R.

So I am curious as to how many people, if any, would be willing to sell their homes for the developers?

Hey guys,

So there have been various meetings about the upzoning and rezoning that will be happening in West Hollywood starting July 1st due to the developers coming in and turning single family homes into 5-8 story homes to account for the new rail lines.

This will mean that RSO units are going to be torn down in lieu of developers building buildings that will have “affordable units” whose rent will be much more than what you’re paying now.

Do you all not know about this?

If yes-

are you ok with this?

Or-

Have you been going to the meetings to build up community support to combat this?

If no-

Why are you ok with this?

Would you like more information about this?

There’s a meeting in the 22nd. Is anyone going?
