- Title
Race, Place, and Housing in Los Angeles.

- Abstract
Today, Los Angeles is one of the most racially and economically segregated regions in the nation—a result of generations of entrenched racially exclusionary policies, practices, and systems. Yet economists, policymakers, and developers continue to define the housing crisis as primarily a crisis of supply that can be solved by prioritizing deregulatory solutions. This myopic view undercuts the need for race-and place-based solutions necessary to reimagine more inclusive neighborhoods. The time is ripe to reevaluate and reimagine existing approaches. By using race-and place-conscious strategies such as those outlined below, housing policy can be advanced in a more successful and inclusive manner, measuring housing as one essential part of community health. To do otherwise risks perpetuating inequities and further harming the region's most economically vulnerable communities—overwhelmingly communities of color.
