LIVABLE COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE

 

Bringing Livable Communities to L.A.

SUBMIT YOUR STREET

A NEW HOUSING TYPOLOGY

 

Imagine this…

 

What if communities could decide where they want housing and what they want it to look like?

 

The LCI is a framework that gives neighborhoods the tools to create vibrant streets with beautiful architecture and an abundance of gentle density, 3-5 stories of high-quality, low-cost housing. We work with experts from all over the world to understand what is working and how we can bring it to LA.

A Plan for Housing

 

The LCI is a framework for neighborhoods to imagine 3-5 stories of gentle density – residential above retail. Apartments are beautiful with high ceilings and courtyards with ample air and light. We advocate for buildings with stunning architecture that create a lovely street for everyone. See our Housing Plan

Guide for Better Streets

 

We envision communities where cars are slow and sidewalks are full of people sitting, dining and lingering. Neighborhoods where we design streets for everyone – for people to walk and children to bike to school- independently and full of joy. It is an uncompromising vision of a neighborhood that is safe for all of us, with access to jobs, Metro and high quality transit. See our Mobility Plan

LA’s First Bike Town

 

We envision 15-minute neighborhoods that can be car-light or car-free – where you can safely walk downstairs and there’s a grocery store to the left and restaurants and coffee shops to the right. Everything you need on a daily and weekly basis is a walk or bike ride away with transit and car share nearby. See more on Bike Towns and Social Housing.

What does a livable community look like and how can we make progress in our own neighborhoods?

 

On Thursday, September 14, 2023, Lindsay Sturman shared the Livable Communities Initiative– a plan whose hallmarks include leveraging the power of grassroots organizing, gentle density, and rethinking commercial streets to be safer and more accessible. Based in LA but with lessons for cities everywhere, it is a unified vision for 15 minute communities that take into account our most pressing housing, traffic and climate challenges.

 

Sturman discusses community development decisions that led to today’s typical city structures, benefits of taking a grassroots approach to community development and actionable steps that can be taken to create more livable communities.

 

Lindsay Sturman is the Founder of the Livable Communities Initiative, a holistic plan to address housing, mobility and climate crises. She is an activist for causes including climate, housing, mobility, and education. She is the co-host of the podcast "Bike Talk," where her focus is on safe bike infrastructure and Dutch design and engineering.

  1. LIVABLE COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE

Goal #: 1, 3, 4

Lead Agencies: LACP, LADOT

Supporting Agencies: BOE, Bureau of Street Services (Streets LA), LAHD

Funding Source: General Fund, Potential State grant funds

Objective: Secure funding to identify opportunities. Coordinate with agencies to

ensure effective responses to federal, state, and regional funding opportunities

around efforts to holistically plan for housing, mobility and sustainability

improvements.

Respective Policy: 3.2.2, 3.2.3, 3.2.4, 3.2.5

Identify opportunities to advance a holistic vision for livable, healthy, and

sustainable communities along the City’s transit-rich corridors utilizing mixed-use,

mixed-income housing combined with opportunities to transform the street and

public realm by adding or improving wide sidewalks, tree canopy, outdoor dining,

bicycle infrastructure, transit shelters, fast and frequent transit, and public seating

and plazas.

Pursue ways to better integrate rezoning and community planning efforts with

implementation of Mobility Plan 2035, by coordinating across agencies to identify

mobility investment needs through LADOT’s Mobility Investment Program and

LACP’s Community Plan Update Program, as well as Metro’s Transit Oriented

Communities Policy. Coordinate between agencies as part of a multi-agency

funding strategy to fund investments where the City is targeting new housing

at a scale to complete corridor-wide and network-level investments. Example

strategies include applying for grant opportunities such as the Infill Infrastructure

Grant (IIG) and the Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities (AHSC)

programs (see Program 9), as well as potential significant new federal grants

targeting housing-linked mobility and sustainability grants under consideration

in the current budget reconciliation bill to fund investments where the city is

targeting new housing at a scale to complete corridor-wide and network-level

investments.

Explore other opportunities to proportionately leverage investments through

land use development by linking mobility investment fees, such as the West LA

Transportation Improvement and Mitigation (TIMP) Specific Plan and Coastal

Transportation Corridor (TIMP) Specific Plan, and committing dedications, and

improvements to the public right of way where such investments advance the

goals of the Mobility Plan 2035 and provide safe, livable, and dignified space in

2021-2029 Housing Element CH6: Housing Goals, Policies, Objectives, and Programs 3

 

the public realm. Consider a fee study to examine opportunities to link rezonings

with desired transportation improvements to ensure adequate public realm

improvements and access to new housing through safe and well-connected

pedestrian infrastructure. Also, promote corridor wide or network-level mobility

investment in the list of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies

for rezoning program areas, through citywide regulations, and/or neighborhood

plan (like the LADOT Downtown Los Angeles Mobility Investment Plan), specific

plans, LADOT’s Mobility Investment Program, or other

The '15-Minute City': A Strategy To Reduce The Traffic, Pollution And High Housing Costs In LA

Erin Stone

These are two things we can probably all agree on: L.A. is increasingly unaffordable, and it has too much traffic.

 

But what if you could get everything you need within15 minutesof your reasonably-priced apartment — without having to set foot in a car. Doesn’t sound like L.A., right?

 

Jenny Hontz thinks it is possible. She heads theLivable Communities Initiative,a group of urban planners, architects and climate and housing advocates who are pushing for L.A. to be a 15-minute city.

 

"We are in the ultimate car city in Los Angeles," Hontz said. "And so if we can change the culture here and build this way here, we can do it anywhere."

 

Hontz said cars are a culprit when it comes to high rents: cities require developers to build parking spots with housing. In L.A., each spot can cost more than $50,000, upping rent prices.

 

Higher costs push Angelenos out of the city and into longer commutes, adding to planet-heating emissions. According to 2019 census data, 13% of Angelenos who commuted to the Westside for work drove more than 50 miles to get there.

 

Cars and trucks on the roads also produce about 20% of L.A.’s planet-heating emissions and contribute to health-harming smog.

 

Hontz said building smaller housing developments without parking, close to jobs and public transit, coupled with redesigning streets to be more walkable and bikeable, would lower rents and pollution.

 

For example, she said Westwood Boulevard is one street that could be totally redesigned and it would have a big impact. More than 100,000 people commute to UCLA by car every day, according to university data, often from dozens of miles away.

A UC Berkeley study found that reducing vehicle commutes and building housing in urban areas were two of the most effective strategies at lowering emissions in L.A.

 

"Building equitably and building near job centers reduces traffic," Hontz said. "So it makes life better for everyone and it helps the climate, too."

Implementing the plan doesn't come without obstacles: among other things, it will require rezoning certain areas, dealing with legal challenges and red tape, and dropping the requirement to build parking, in addition to political and industry buy-in. But the initiative has momentum. It's now officially part of L.A.’s housing element in the new general plan, which is updated every eight years.

 

Culver City is on its way to implementing many of the ideas and possibly also working it into their general plan. And a state bill that would eliminate the parking spot requirement for smaller developments is currently being considered.

Huge thanks to Martin Pedersen and Common Edge! Gerhard Mayer and the brain trust of the Livable Communities Initiative have looked at what's working around the world to build high quality housing at a fraction of the cost. This article highlights two of the best ideas we've found and how it can apply to cities like LA:

Lindsay Sturman and Gerhard Mayer's excellent blueprint for how we can build more housing that people actually want: "What if the housing crisis wasn’t about the cost of lumber, labor, or land, but about bureaucracy? Imagine a world where, instead of developers navigating an obstacle course of entitlements, permits, and approvals, cities themselves took on the challenge of creating the housing they want and need. The good news: there are two models that show how U.S. cities can fast-track high-quality housing that people want to live in and enjoy seeing on the streetscape." From the Livable Communities Initiative.

We engage in constant and unrelenting bad-ass actions often times in coalition with other bad-ass groups with the goal of making our world more just. At HODG, we get in all sorts of good trouble – we knock on doors and register voters. We donate blood and get arrested. We aren’t afraid to put our hearts, minds, our bodies into this. We call it “crop rotation activism”: focus on just one issue or action, it depletes your soul; focus on lots of different actions, they replenish one another.

 

At HODG we aren’t interested in re-inventing the wheel. All our actions, our ideas, our inspiration come from the women and men and organizations past and present who have done this work better and longer than any of us. People like Bryan Stevenson, John Lewis and Bayard Rustin. It’s because of them that we get uncomfortable, get close, get in trouble and bring the joy.

The SURJ chapter network is made up of chapters and affiliates across the country who work in their local communities. Through community organizing, mobilizing, and education, SURJ chapters move white people to take action as part of a multi-racial majority for racial and economic justice. Work on the ground for each of SURJ’s chapters varies from place to place, but each one is committed to SURJ’s core values and mission.

 

“Chapters” are groups that have emerged since SURJ’s founding, rooted in SURJ’s values and mission. “Affiliates” are groups that existed previous to SURJ’s founding, share SURJ’s values, and have chosen to affiliate with SURJ.
