What do supply numbers tell us about LA County's housing crisis, and how can research guide next steps?
Jorge De la Roca (USC Price) joins Richard K. Green (USC Lusk Center for Real Estate) to discuss the findings of the 2025 State of Los Angeles County Housing (SOLACHAN) Report
At the center of their conversation is the modern city dilemma: while cities drive economic vitality, they also create steep costs of living. In LA County, permitting delays, demographic shifts, and a mismatch between incomes and supply add up to a housing market that's falling short.
Highlights include:
- Why building a multifamily project in LA takes nearly twice as long as the national average.
- Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are driving new supply, but may not translate to housing.
- The widening income split between renters.
- Demographic shifts show fewer families and declining Black residents in LA.
- Why the favored model of filtering can't take hold at current levels of housing production.
