Los Angeles' ED 1 has led to more approved middle-class housing than the 10 years before it combined. A majority of Angelenos in a super majority of Council districts support it. Not shown due to space: neighborhoods that opposed it are those least impacted. www.briefingbook.info/p/los-angele...

Many thanks to my much more popular buddy for sharing this work. Whoulda thunk that a city of renters paying too much for rundown effluence from the 1920-70s would want more housing?
My dude @zacharyst.bsky.social in the @latimes.com today with results from a new survey: Angelenos want new housing--apartments included--all over the city and even in their own back yard.
Contributor: Not so NIMBY, Angelenos want more housing in their neighborhoods
The mayor said she was pulling back on development to respect constituents' wishes. But survey data say residents want more homes everywhere.

Really happy to see this paper in print. It address an important topic in a way that one could not do with experiments, surveys, or case studies. Even better, the coauthor is a recently graduate undergraduate.
In a new study by Ishaan S. Prasad & @zacharyst.bsky.social, they analyze 37k+ faces from protests in 10 countries, showing emotions like anger, fear & happiness co-occur and covary with protest dynamics, rather than directly causing them.

On a $10k grant w/ a community partner, I have to pay $750 for them to purchase UCLA insurance for 1 meeting held on campus. Almost 10% of my grant for 4 people to sit in a conference room. What a joke.
