Nathan Solis is a Metro reporter covering breaking news at the Los Angeles Times. He previously worked for Courthouse News Service, where he wrote both breaking news and enterprise stories ranging from criminal justice to homelessness and politics. Before that, Solis was at the Redding Record Searchlight as a multimedia journalist, where he anchored coverage of the destructive 2017 fires in Northern California. About a mile away stands the Arroyo Seco Tiny Home Village, with 117 cabins that are intended to act as transitional housing. Two other tiny villages, also located in the council district represented by Councilman Kevin de León, are similarly meant to act as a steppingstone to permanent housing. De León’s office did not respond to requests for comment about the encampments along the Arroyo Seco.
Meet the homeless L.A. immigrants who built a DIY home in gentrifying Highland Park
The shuttle doesn’t run on any consistent schedule, but rather operates every minutes. Located in Los Angeles, 2.5 miles from LA Union Station, Hyatt House LA - University Medical Center has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, private parking, a fitness center and a garden. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared lounge and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The nearest airport is Hollywood Burbank Airport, 14 miles from the hotel. Since mid-2007, owners have removed more than 13,000 older rent-controlled units from the market , leading to concern the demolition is worsening the city’s affordability and homelessness crisis. My flight was only at midnight, and I really needed some more sleep.
California’s population increased last year for first time since 2020
Little did she know that she has some of the strongest protections available. Unbeknownst to many tenants across the city, an obscure city rule requires some newly built rental properties to be put under the city’s rent stabilization ordinance, commonly referred to as rent control. Over the same time frame, housing department data show 10,252 new units have been put under the city’s rent stabilization ordinance. Newer buildings typically do not have those protections, but they can depending on what was there before. Under a 2007 city ordinance, newly constructed apartments, townhomes and condos must be rent controlled if an older rent controlled property was demolished on site. The real estate industry — as well as many housing economists — have long argued that far fewer developers would build if they are subject to rent caps, leading to even higher rents as supply shortages worsen.

As a result, rent control ordinances across the country typically exempt new construction. Generally, the city’s rent control law only applies to buildings built on or before Oct. 1, 1978 — a cutoff date many landlords and at least some renters are acutely aware of. Under the rules, landlords can set the rent whenever a unit becomes vacant, but face limits on how much they can raise rent on individual tenants annually, usually between 3% and 8%, depending on inflation.
Many of them were intricately constructed of several different materials, some with a great deal of skill and artistry. And I could not help wondering at the time how there was such a disparity in that city between the extremely wealthy and so many poor people living in these shacks. The Hyatt House & Hyatt Place LAX are located at 5959 W Century Blvd.

Breakfast was great, different options to choose from. Guests under the age of 18 can only check in with a parent or official guardian.
He believes the problem is even worse in newer buildings, because even if people understand rent control exists they often believe all new properties are exempt. In theory, newly constructed rent-controlled properties could increase the overall number of apartments with rent caps in the city, because developers often knock down a small building to build more units. Tenant advocates, meanwhile, say that even if some new rent-controlled apartments are being built, replacing older rent controlled units for new ones is devastating. Not only are people evicted, but new construction demands a premium when the unit is initially rented.

Molina has photographed the life and death of Pope John Paul II, the tragedy of AIDS in Africa, the impact of Hurricane Katrina, and Cuba after Castro. His work has appeared in nine books and his photographs have been exhibited extensively including at the Smithsonian Institute and the Annenberg Space for Photography. One Arroyo Seco dweller is a woman named Socorro, who said she had to leave the Lincoln Heights apartment she shared with her boyfriend after she lost her job at a Mexican market. The couple lived on the streets for several months, she said, before she woke up one morning to discover that her boyfriend and his stuff were gone.

Augusto doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about. Vanessa Martínez is an assistant data and graphics editor at the Los Angeles Times. Prior to joining The Times in 2017, she worked at the Seattle Times and the Southern California News Group.
Roughly four in 10 renters in Los Angeles County live in fear of becoming homeless, according to a recent study from UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs. After learning about her building’s status, Castelvecchi checked her lease and noticed that rent control is mentioned in a section she had previously overlooked. And she found a sign in the building outlining the rules, which she hadn’t previously noticed. This has to be one of the nicest limited service Hyatt properties I’ve seen in terms of the design of public spaces and rooms, as well as in terms of the rooftop restaurant. There were definitely some areas for improvement, though, including the service and the shuttle.
The data show that developers across the city frequently pursue these projects despite their buildings being subject to rent caps the moment a lease is signed. The following day I checked into room 607 at the Hyatt Place (yes, on the sixth floor of the same building). This had to be the nicest furnished Hyatt Place room I’ve ever stayed in. Usually Hyatt Place properties have such bland and minimalist design, while in this case the room felt like what you’d expect at a full service, upscale hotel. If you’re going from the airport to the hotel, you’ll find the shuttle in the red zone for “hotel & private parking shuttles” on the departures level. Meanwhile when departing the hotel, you’ll want to go to the adjacent parking lot, where there’s a shuttle waiting area.
A federal judge recently ruled that the city altered evidence to support the its defense in the lawsuit and will probably face sanctions. The shelter appears above the flood wash like a seaside cottage plucked from a coastal town. The projects made financial sense because he could set the initial rent at market rate and was allowed at least a 3% increase each year, he said.
Leeor Maciborski, owner of ROM Residential, which currently owns Castelvecchi’s building, purchased that building after another investor built it. However, he said he’s developed five or six other properties in Los Angeles knowing they’d fall under the city’s rent stabilization ordinance. This was also my first stay at a dual-brand hotel, and it’s not at all what I was expecting. Even though the Hyatt House & Hyatt Place are marketed as separate hotels, they’re really just one property. There are two different room types, but everything else is shared between the hotels.
