    We should move to be in compliance with SB9 as quickly as possible. Even though it's unlikely that it this change will have much positive impact on affordable housing (and, as written, it's unlikely to have significant impact on the character of Betty Way, given the lot sizes and current housing stock), spending public resources fighting over potential historic districts (esp on Greenacre) or other attempts to undermine SB9 isn't likely to yield any useful outcome - or succeed.

    West Hollywood is an amazing city, but it's under tremendous housing pressure. With residents and potential residents being priced out of our neighborhoods, amending our zoning laws would be a basic step towards a solution. Expanding property owners choices could allow more people to be part of, and contribute to, our communities. As a renter, I worry our city is becoming only for the well-off, and I hope this passes.
