AREAS OF NET LOSS IN DWELLING UNITS IN LOS ANGELES

Land use and zoning policies are restricting the construction of dwelling units in the City of Los Angeles. As a result, housing production in Los Angeles has failed to provide sufficient dwelling units to accommodate the city’s population growth. Certain areas of the city have even experienced a net loss of dwelling units, further exacerbating the problem.
