Yes to this. Just increasing density, mixed use development, and cycling/walkable infrastructure within a mile of LA Metro and/or Metrolink stations would help put a significant dent on the housing crisis.
Most people are never going to own a home in LA. But they could own or rent apartments in the core on reasonable rates that don’t eat up their wages. I would like to live in LA without paying an arm and a leg, enjoying all the amenities while having the ability to save some cash. I know I’m far from being alone in this matter.
