Letters to the Editor: Stop spreading this outdated trope about single-family neighborhoods
LA TimesTo the editor: Once again, it is being suggested that those who own and live in single-family homes are wealthy and white. Such a suggestion implies that single-family zoning is inherently unfair and that every block of homes needs at least one huge box with balconies covering nearly an entire lot, just to bring these homeowners down a rung or two. And, by the way, no need to require parking spaces for the huge box, so parking misery and car windows smashed overnight are added to the neighborhood. So often the new multi-residence buildings going up present locked doors and gates to the neighborhood with no buffer zone for interaction with neighbors. Yes, we need more housing; put the cart behind the horse by first investing in mass transportation, not widening freeways.
