WORKFORCE HOUSING (THE MISSING MIDDLE)

The current approach builds luxury condos for the rich and shelters for the poor. It forgets the teachers, nurses, and firefighters in between. I will fast-track 100% workforce housing projects with a 90-Day Guarantee, and pursue fee waivers for homeowners who build an ADU and rent it to a local worker or senior. Thousands of new units in backyards without building a single tower.

DISASTER RECOVERY HQ

My home burned down in the Palisades. I know the nightmare. I will turn our field office into a Disaster Recovery HQ with a dedicated case manager to help fire victims navigate soil testing, insurance, permits, and rebuilding. If you're rebuilding on the same footprint, you should not be treated like a new developer.

Speed for victims.

HOUSING STABILITY

The system protects the cheaters on both sides. City Hall treats a grandmother with a duplex the same as a billion-dollar hedge fund. I'm calling a truce.

For Tenants: No renoviction without signed permits and a contractor in hand. If your landlord won't ;x a life-safety issue in 48 hours, the City ;xes it and bills them triple. We prosecute harassment.

For Small Landlords: Owners with fewer than 4 units get a compliance helper, not a fine. If you accept Section 8, we push for inspection within 72 hours.

A lease is a two-way promise.

ANTI-SQUATTER RESPONSE

Criminals are breaking into vacant homes, presenting fake leases, and the LAPD calls it a "civil matter." This is fraud, not a tenancy dispute. I will digitize the trespass authorization process so homeowners can register vacant properties instantly, create a Property Fraud unit that verifies leases in real-time, and use nuisance abatement to act fast when a squatter house becomes a danger.

A tenant has rights I will protect.
A squatter is a criminal.
