“The politics of density are so dominated by homeowners. One of the things that we should be talking about more is increasing density,” Monkkonen tells GlobeSt.com. “Condos are cheaper than single-family housing per-square-foot, in general. There is a problem in all of California, but Los Angeles is acute because much of the land is zoned for single-family homes. That made sense in the 50s, when the metropolitan area is half the size that it is today, but as the metropolitan area grows, we need to increase the density in the central areas.”
