The house on the right was demolished last year to build a 3,500 sf mansion + ADU
The house on the left just filed plans to be replaced with five starter homes under SB 1123
CA state housing laws are delivering results.

You can tear down a structure that is "vacant and uninhabitable." It's fairly easy to make a house uninhabitable.
Couldn't imagine living in a place with zero yard and no setbacks its basically urban living
And a big mansion like that is often divided up inside to house 2-3 separate families, per my RE lawyer.
I was under the impression to use SB1123 there couldn't have an existing house on it
The lot can have "abandoned and uninhabitable" structures on it. It's fairly easy to make a house uninhabitable.

It's triple the size of the home it's replacing, and double the average single-family home size in LA. We can quibble about whether it's technically a "mansion," but it's clearly an expensive, luxurious home.
For my town, someone posted a proposal to replace a single family house with 20x singles, near transit, w/no extra parking, and reddit was 9/10 in favor. Unbelievable. I have to grant +1 to reddit, to maintain my honor
Can’t wait for the 3500 sq foot owner to deal w construction then meet his new neighbors. It’s gonna be a blast
That house on the right was under construction from like 2021. Still don’t know why it took forever
interesting, sold right off the MLS at $1.340 - wonder that the sale price target is. I would be bummed if I was building the 3500 sq foot house
Five starter homes? I know the people living next door to it aren't going to be too crazy about that. Asking for a friend. How much will one of the five starter homes jammed onto a single lot be going for?
The owner on the right is now complaining the new permit will destroy the neighborhood character
And completely destroying neighborhoods with crime and filth... that will be the next crip neighborhood.
Liberalism, 100% of the time creates the exact opposite of what it intended.. it's the very definition of insanity.
Mansions should not be built out of plywood. Pathetic
