About three-quarters of all residential land in incorporated L.A. County is zoned for single-family homes. But under SB 79, some of those neighborhoods could now be eligible for dense apartment buildings, as long as they lie within a half-mile of a major transit stop.

The Metro staff report said SB 79 could harm the transit agency’s expansion goals by galvanizing housing opponents against new light rail stations and dedicated bus lanes.

Whats the point of expanding if it’ll only serve well off people who can afford to live in single family homes next to the station?The metro should not only focus on expansion but equity within the current system. I find Metro’s reasoning a bit disappointing.

This problem would be solved be LA reducing zoning restrictions on housing.
