Mindfully Increase Housing Supply As Mayor, Rae will address exclusionary barriers that prevent our City from building enough housing. A thriving city needs more density: we cannot house everyone without it. Increasing supply, especially near transit, moves us toward a more sustainable, inclusive, and affordable Los Angeles. We must especially increase supply for those at the lowest income levels. Rae will champion the use of new models of housing production, including social housing, public ownership, and expanded programs for building permanently affordable housing on public land. Rae plans to take the following steps to increase our housing supply: Support a vacancy tax to disincentivize property owners from holding potential housing and commercial spaces empty. Prevent displacement by requiring every affordable housing development to set aside a pool of units for local community members facing displacement, and a second set of units without that restriction (for a total of 30% of units across both categories). Implement SB 79’s community protections while ensuring we are increasing our housing supply. Support upzoning, especially of single-family parcels, in proximity to public transit. Expand the Citywide Housing Incentive Program (CHIP) to apply more broadly in single family zones, particularly Transit Oriented Incentive Areas (TOIA) and Opportunity Corridor Transition Incentive Areas (OC-T). Proactively work with developers to find underutilized commercial properties and prioritize them for commercial revitalization and mixed use development. Push for local and statewide reforms that make it easier to build “missing middle” housing i.e. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), duplexes, and small-lot townhomes in places where high density housing isn’t feasible. Expedite Request for Proposals (RFPs) for use of City land. Repurpose motels into Permanent Supportive Housing.
BUILD THE GREEN LATTICE Los Angeles needs to invest in programs that will create an interconnected, Citywide network of cooling, permeable, and habitat rich spaces that will serve as green infrastructure. By replacing unnecessary concrete and decorative grass with stormwater capturing landscapes, shade trees, and native ecosystems, this green infrastructure will serve as a “Green Lattice” system woven through streets, transit corridors, commercial parcels, and residential properties. These transformations will help reconnect Angelenos to natural systems that once defined this region while also cooling neighborhoods, absorbing stormwater, restoring biodiversity, and preventing damages from wildfires. By transforming our cityscape into climate-positive infrastructure, the “Green Lattice” reimagines Los Angeles as a city where water infiltrates, trees cool communities, native species return, and resilience is built block by block.
Democrats seem to have softened their demand that federal immigration officers be banned from wearing masks when making deportation arrests. The House minority leader, Representative Hakeem Jeffries, said that the party’s position was that “no masks should be deployed in an arbitrary and capricious fashion.” Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, said that masks should only be used in “extraordinary” circumstances

TEASER FADE IN: INT. THEED FUNERAL TEMPLE - NIGHT On the dais, PADME AMIDALA lies in state in the blue funeral gown her handmaids had chosen for her. The warm brown curls of her hair are fanned like a halo on the pillow with flowers adorning it. In her hands is the japor snippet ANAKIN SKYWALKER had given her so many years ago. She lies still as if sleeping, no breath left her lungs, not a muscle stirred. As the dawn light starts to creep across her face, her eyes open and she gasps. CARD: 3 years later INT. PADME’S BEDROOM - DAY Padme sits at her vanity and looks into the mirror. These years on the run have not been kind to her. Her hair is pulled back into utilitarian braids. Gone are the days of elegant costume and makeup as defense. Clad in her battle gear and leather boots, she puts on her bounty hunter mask. EXT. REBEL BASE - DAY Overhead a star destroyer jumps out of hyperspace and spits out a swarm of tie fighters. On the ground is a small settlement on the edge of the ocean. The settlement looks like a kicked ant-hive as the people prepare to flee. Padme emerges from one of the buildings, blaster in hand, and takes charge of the chaos. PADME Get to your ships! Bombs start dropping around her as tie fighters wiz by overhead. A few ships manage to take off but are quickly destroyed.
