[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one building (The Blake on Beauregard) and just the availability of 2 bedroom units available immediately- ie- today.

That's 45 units. They also have studios, one bed units, and 2+den units so lets be conservative and say there are 100 units available in just this one building.

Where is the crisis? Where is the shortage?

Seriously- someone ELI5- where is the crisis? Why are these units not OK but ones built in Del Ray would be the cure all?

Can anyone answer that?

If not, maybe we don't change the entire zoning code, mmm'kay?

Also it just delivered in 2022 so the building is still leasing up while dealing with rolling leases. 
It's 42 units, [u]total[/u], in a building with 300 units. Starting with $2000-$3000/month for a 519 sf studio.

Noting, also, that units turn over all the time. [u]There should be units available for rent[/u]. The existence of units that are available for rent does not negate the existence of a housing crisis.[/quote][/quote]
