Draft Environmental Report Released for High-Rise Development at 5350 Wilshire Blvd.

The Los Angeles Department of City Planning has published a draft environmental impact report for a proposed 46-story high-rise at 5350-5376 Wilshire Boulevard.

Florida's 'Live Local' Law Criticized for Allowing Developers to Bypass Public Oversight

Florida's 'Live Local' law, intended to boost affordable workforce housing, is facing criticism for allegedly favoring developers over public interest. The law allows developers to bypass local zoning restrictions in exchange for dedicating a portion of their projects to affordable housing. Critics argue that the law primarily benefits large developers and fails to address the urgent need for affordable housing for essential workers. The law's implementation has sparked legal challenges and public opposition, particularly concerning projects like the Portofino condo in Hollywood, Florida.

Miami Adopts New Zoning Rules to Encourage Cottage Housing Development

Miami Adopts New Zoning Rules to Encourage Cottage Housing Development

The City of Miami has implemented new zoning regulations to facilitate the construction of small, single-family homes, known as cottage houses, in the style of traditional shotgun homes. This initiative aims to revitalize Coconut Grove's historic housing style while addressing the city's housing shortage. The new rules allow for the development of cottages on lots between 25 and 35 feet wide, with specific setback and lot coverage requirements. The changes are intended to support diverse housing options and maintain neighborhood character, responding to the trend of larger, boxy homes that often clash with existing architectural styles.

Congressman Sam Liccardo's Housing Bills Aim to Address Crisis with Federal Support

Congressman Sam Liccardo's Housing Bills Aim to Address Crisis with Federal Support

Congressman Sam Liccardo, representing San Jose and surrounding areas, has co-authored four bills included in a significant federal housing package. This legislation, known as the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, aims to alleviate the housing crisis by converting vacant office buildings into affordable housing and expanding loan options for manufactured homes and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The act provides $100 million annually through 2031 for the Blighted Building to Housing Conversion Program. Liccardo emphasizes the need for bipartisan support to make these initiatives successful, particularly in high-vacancy areas like Silicon Valley. Despite these efforts, Liccardo acknowledges that the package is only a modest step towards addressing the broader housing challenges faced by millions of Americans.
