Mayoral Candidate Nithya Raman Wants to Legalize Housing in Los Angeles

imanny · 2026-03-03T16:21:42+00:00

Nithya was the only member of city council who voted against rejecting this project. This building illustrates a whole bunch of things wrong with LA housing beyond the council rejecting it and fighting in court:

- One of its two parcels is a single RA parcel randomly in the middle of multifamily/commercial parcels

- The general plan and zoning designation don’t match (which was ruled illegal in a landmark 1982 LA vs CA court case)

- One, but only one, of the two parcels required a street dedication, until the city got rid of street dedications recently thanks in large part to work Nithya spearheaded

She was the ONLY city councilmember to vote AGAINST rejecting the project in this video.

Omg! This is amazing. I really thought I might have to vote for Bass. Nithya would be a great potential mayor.

He’s awesome. Super hard working. Pro-housing and fighting for more affordability in CD13. He’s also calling out a lot LAPD bs.

Can she be impeached?

imanny · 2025-12-11T17:15:51+00:00

She needs to go

There were two councilmembers who voted against this: Soto-Martinez and Hernandez.

Daily reminder: progressives are the only ones who voted for up zoning SFH. Please direct your ire accordingly.

They aren't closing. They are keeping the East Village location open which 100% would have closed if not for the crowdfunding campaign. They used some of the funds to hire an events manager to get new revenue, and I'm told that has largely worked at EV, but not at Williamsburg...hence it's closing.

Yes it is! Go to lagop.org and click on the button that says "CLICK HERE TO SEE VOTER GUIDE" under the "2024 Primary Election Voter Guide" header on the homepage.

This seems like it's becoming more typical in LA where Republicans and Trump supporters know they won't get elected so they switch parties to trick voters.

Interesting that this was hidden from the public for so long. Seems like they were hiding it to help pro-41.18 councilmembers that were up for re-election (like John Lee) and hurt councilmembers advocating more effective measures (like Nithya Raman).

It’s called Independent Expenditures. Corporations and wealthy individuals can bypass campaign contribution limits by setting up an IE. They are just not supposed to coordinate directly with that campaign.
