"Transit Revolution": Will Los Angeles Become Gentrification Ground Zero?

[KamaAina]

1. I collaborate with an agency called TransForm

that promotes sustainable, transit-friendly communities throughout California.

Their approach to TOD is that it works better when affordable housing is included, because low0income people are far more likely to, as they put it, shed their cars when living near transit than are the more affluent. who are more likely to use the transit just to commute to work while keeping the car for everything else. Alas, part of our wonderful Democratic governor 's approach to fixing the colossal mess that Ahh-nuld bequeathed him was to eliminate the state's redevelopment agencies, 20 percent of whose funding was designated for affordable housing.
