BREAKING: @Colliers US CEO Says Brokerage To Grow in the Country - Firm Expands to Louisiana costar.com/article/133086035…

The City of LA was dealing with a massive backlog of storm-water permits. They looked at the evidence and determined: 1. Small residential developments don't produce that much stormwater runoff 2. The city spends significant resources reviewing stormwater plans for small developments 3. LID requirements add costs that make it harder to build new housing 4. In 2018, LA County voters passed Measure W to treat stormwater county-wide, so project-specific measure are less necessary So the city just went ahead and completely removed LID requirements from small developments I'm kinda shocked. You don't normally see LA reducing regulatory burden to make it easier and cheaper to build housing
