A proposal by L.A. city officials to charge developers a so-called linkage fee to pay for affordable units has the widespread support of housing advocates who turned out by the dozens for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/08/23/74894/fee-on-new-construction-in-la-up-for-council-vote/\">recent hearing\u003c/a> to show their support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same advocates are pressing the city to adopt \"inclusionary zoning,\" which would force developers who build market-rate housing to designate a certain percentage of their units for subsidized housing. Santa Monica \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/07/31/74251/developers-in-santa-monica-face-experiment-in-prov/\">recently adopted\u003c/a> a version of inclusionary zoning and plans to monitor its impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing advocate Neil McGuffin of the Little Tokyo Service Center said that state and local leaders need to encourage affordable housing to prevent the displacement of longtime residents that's taken place in neighborhoods like Little Tokyo in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RPg3Lh19ATLPyViRl8lJBGmqdWPgXtHQ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s been about a thousand units of housing developed and that housing is not affordable for people who are living or have lived in the community,\" McGuffin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abundant Housing agrees that funding affordable housing is critical but warns both a linkage fee and inclusionary zoning will only add to construction costs, and stop projects from getting built. The group would rather raise the money for affordable housing by increasing the city's real estate transfer fees or coax developers into constructing more below-market units in exchange for more building height through what’s called density bonuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want to provide a carrot to incentivize people to build as much affordable housing as possible and at the same time build as much market–rate housing as we can,\" Gaisford said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaisford acknowledged that density bonus programs could be improved.

A proposal by L.A. city officials to charge developers a so-called linkage fee to pay for affordable units has the widespread support of housing advocates who turned out by the dozens for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/08/23/74894/fee-on-new-construction-in-la-up-for-council-vote/\">recent hearing\u003c/a> to show their support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same advocates are pressing the city to adopt \"inclusionary zoning,\" which would force developers who build market-rate housing to designate a certain percentage of their units for subsidized housing. Santa Monica \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/07/31/74251/developers-in-santa-monica-face-experiment-in-prov/\">recently adopted\u003c/a> a version of inclusionary zoning and plans to monitor its impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing advocate Neil McGuffin of the Little Tokyo Service Center said that state and local leaders need to encourage affordable housing to prevent the displacement of longtime residents that's taken place in neighborhoods like Little Tokyo in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s been about a thousand units of housing developed and that housing is not affordable for people who are living or have lived in the community,\" McGuffin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abundant Housing agrees that funding affordable housing is critical but warns both a linkage fee and inclusionary zoning will only add to construction costs, and stop projects from getting built. The group would rather raise the money for affordable housing by increasing the city's real estate transfer fees or coax developers into constructing more below-market units in exchange for more building height through what’s called density bonuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want to provide a carrot to incentivize people to build as much affordable housing as possible and at the same time build as much market–rate housing as we can,\" Gaisford said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaisford acknowledged that density bonus programs could be improved.

He acknowledged that the city has to fix its housing shortage, and that developers should focus on areas that want the new construction, such as the northeast part of the San Fernando Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The problem is developers like to build in Sherman Oaks and other nice areas of the city where they can get the highest profit,\" Close said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his work is to protect his community from the extra traffic and change in neighborhood character that often comes with new development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we see is people on the other side that have no regard for the current conditions in the community,\" Close said. \"They’re focused simply on a single issue, like more housing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite their loss on Measure S, NIMBYs like Close remain a powerful political force in L.A. that can kill or stall a project.

Both convictions made him deportable, but were set aside by a judge earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then earlier this month, the federal Board of Immigration Appeals \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/11/appeals-panel-tosses-out-deportation-order-against-immigrant-dad/\" target=\"_blank\">vacated the deportation order\u003c/a> against him and sent his case back to the Los Angeles immigration court to be reconsidered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, the bond decision allowed him to return home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avelica-Gonzalez said Thursday that the past six months were tough. He suffers from diabetes, which he was treated for but which he said worsened while he was in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The medical attention there takes a long time, they don’t pay enough attention, to tell the truth,” he said. “Sometimes I felt really sick. Only when they see that you are really sick, that you’re lying on the floor, that is when they pay attention to you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were times that deportation to Mexico seemed imminent. But Avelica-Gonzalez said he never lost faith that he’d be reunited with his family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I never lost hope, I never lost faith that I would be with my family because of all they were doing for me, how they were fighting for me,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrest video that drew attention to his case was taken by his daughter Fatima, 13 at the time. She and her siblings continued pushing for her father’s release, aided by immigrant advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to Washington, D.C., I talked to congressmen, I went to Sacramento and I talked to the governor,” said Fatima Avelica, now 14. “We did a lot of stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that she has her dad back at home, “I feel very happy,” Fatima said. “The past six months have been very difficult for me and my family…now that I have him back with me, it’s very exciting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avelica-Gonzalez said he hopes to be able to stay in the country legally and obtain a work permit. He and his wife, Norma Avelica, are seeking permanent legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration officials said they could not comment on his case.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He suffers from diabetes, which he was treated for but which he said worsened while he was in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The medical attention there takes a long time, they don’t pay enough attention, to tell the truth,” he said. “Sometimes I felt really sick. Only when they see that you are really sick, that you’re lying on the floor, that is when they pay attention to you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were times that deportation to Mexico seemed imminent.

She and her siblings continued pushing for her father’s release, aided by immigrant advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to Washington, D.C., I talked to congressmen, I went to Sacramento and I talked to the governor,” said Fatima Avelica, now 14. “We did a lot of stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that she has her dad back at home, “I feel very happy,” Fatima said. “The past six months have been very difficult for me and my family…now that I have him back with me, it’s very exciting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avelica-Gonzalez said he hopes to be able to stay in the country legally and obtain a work permit.

It’s the agency’s cautious first step toward its 2030 zero-emission bus goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2011, Metro fully replaced its diesel buses with compressed natural gas (CNG) buses that are nearly as clean as their electric counterparts. It is still buying CNG buses, even as it moves toward converting its entire fleet of 2,300 buses to all-electric.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Metro’s goal of going all-electric by 2030 fits with the state’s clean energy goals.
