No more excuses for delaying the construction of Venice Dell homeless housing, Mayor Bass
Now that some of the most vocal opponents to the much-needed Venice Dell homeless and low-income housing development in Venice have lost their lawsuit to block the project, will this be the last hurdle it has to face in a long and unnecessary obstacle course set by Los Angeles city officials? It should be. For more than a year, the project was slowed down because city agencies stopped working with the developers, Venice Community Housing and Hollywood Community Housing Corp.
ruled against the claims brought by the Coalition for Safe Coastal Development, the most substantial one being that the development shouldn't have been granted an exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act's reporting requirements. The judge found the project properly used a state law that allows exemptions for supportive housing projects in the city of Los Angeles that get certain state or local funds.
