Affordable Housing from front page
Supreme Court gave a thumbs up to state law
governing affordable housing requirements
on new homes and apartments.
No one expects the court rulings--or newly
signed California laws--to solve the region’s
housing crisis, which is growing as the
median price of a home countywide hovers
above a half-million dollars, according to a
June real estate survey. CoreLogic said the
median price in May was $560,500 across
Los Angeles County.
“Affordable housing is being addressed
to some extent, but we have a huge supply
constraint in Los Angeles that’s driven by
multiple factors,” said Paul Habibi, a lecturer
in finance at UCLA. “But the long and short
of it is we have more demand than we have
housing supply. It’s driven up the cost of
housing and it’s created a pretty dramatic
affordability crunch.”
No more than 30 percent of a household
or individual’s monthly income should go
for housing, according to Habibi. Yet, almost
one-third of renters in the state spend half
of their take-home pay on rent, according
to findings from California Department of
Housing and Community Development.
Local households would need to receive a
50 percent raise to $96,000 per year to reach
the 30 percent requirement for a median-priced
home, Habibi said. A 14 percent raise would
cover a median-priced apartment.
South Bay’s median home prices sold in
August ranged between $470,000 in Carson
to $2.23 million in Manhattan Beach, according
to a pricing listed at Torrance Real
Estate.com. The most affordable communities
continue to be Gardena, Hawthorne, Harbor
City, Lawndale, Playa del Rey and San
Pedro--with homes priced under $500,000,
based on the August sales report.
Fully aware of the looming housing crisis
facing the state’s workforce, Governor Jerry
Brown and the Legislature passed into law
this year 15 bills, including one that restored
the authority of South Bay cities and the
county to demand that developers do their
part. State and L.A. leaders also say that
homelessness must be addressed, and they
link the high homeless population to a lack
of affordable apartments for displaced individuals
and families.
One of the new laws, authored by Assemblyman
Richard Bloom, D-Santa Monica,
allows cities and counties to require that 15
percent of units in market-rate housing be
set aside as affordable to low- or moderateincome
people.
In in an op-ed piece published on the
website BisNow.com, Habibi suggests that
South Bay city leaders and the L.A. Board
of Supervisors green-light more types of
workforce-specific affordable housing. Rents
and home prices are linked to the limited
supply of new construction, the UCLA
lecturer said.
The state needs 180,000 additional pricereduced
housing units each year, according
to the Housing and Community Development
Department. The need far outpaces the 80,000
new units per year that local governments
have approved over the past decade, according
to Habibi.
Los Angeles County needs nearly 500,000
more units that are affordable to lowerincome
households. However, current new
construction meets just three percent of that
need, according to the California Housing
Partnership Corp.
Governor Brown on September 29 signed
into law 15 legislative bills to help increase
the supply and affordability of housing
statewide. The measures provide funding
for affordable housing, reduce regulations,
boost construction and strengthen existing
housing laws, according to the Governor’s
office. Several are targeted at slow-moving
cities that tie up affordable housing projects
in red tape and refuse to approve the badly
needed projects.
SB 166 ensures that cities maintain an
ongoing supply of housing construction sites
for residents of various income levels. SB
167 and AB 678 raise the standard of proof
required for a local government to justify a
denial of low- and moderate-income housing
development projects.
AB 72 strengthens the state’s ability to
enforce laws that require local governments
to achieve housing goals. SB 540 streamlines
the environmental review process for certain
local affordable housing projects. AB 73 gives
local governments incentives to create housing
on infill sites near public transportation.
AB 879 authorizes a study of local fees
charged to new residential developments that
will also include a proposal to substantially
reduce such fees.
Senator Bradford co-authored AB 1505,
also signed by the Governor, which empowers
local city councils and L.A. County supervisors
to deny new homes and apartment
projects if the developer refuses to keep a
portion of the new units affordable for low-
to moderate-income residents of South Bay
cities and unincorporated areas. •

BIDDERS: If you are considering
bidding on this property lien, you should

be a junior lien. If you are the highest
bidder at the auction, you are or may be
responsible for paying off all liens senior
to the lien being auctioned off, before
you can receive clear title to the property.
You are encouraged to investigate the
existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder’s office
or a title insurance company, either
of which may charge you a fee for this
information. If you consult either of these
resources, you should be aware that the

mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
