CP&DR News Briefs May 30, 2023: Infrastructure Package; Santa Ana Housing; Redlands Warehouse Moratorium; and More
A report by the Los Angeles Business Council (LABC) found entitlement processes are impeding Los Angeles's ability to meet its lofty housing production goals. The study referenced UCLA and California State University, Northridge's findings that the city is not keeping up with housing demands and its ability to meet California's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) would require the city to complete 57,000 units per year. Presently, the city completes less than 9,000 annually throughout the last decade. LABC's report concludes fast-tracking approval of affordable housing projects and state laws exempting qualifying mixed-income projects from discretionary reviews would add a significant number of housing units. LABC recommends extending those measures to market-rate housing and increasing coordination between city agencies. -- CP&DR

At 69, Bobby Kersee is track’s ‘mad scientist’ and as influential as ever
He put himself through college at Long Beach State by working at a youth correctional facility in Whittier, where Kersee watched wards from midnight until 8 a.m. After graduating, he had two jobs: Track coach at Cal State Northridge, and counselor at another youth facility in Chino. He took over UCLA’s track and field program in 1980 and that provided enough money to be comfortable. Coaching Greg Foster to his first world championship in 1983, and watching his athletes win six golds and four silvers at the Los Angeles Olympics one year later, provided the final confidence he could sustain coaching as a career. -- Los Angeles Times
