What every LA voter should know about housing before the '26 election - With Shane Phillips

 With Measure ULA on the chopping block this November and the city's housing crisis showing up everywhere from rent bills to ballot fights, LA voters are about to make some of the most consequential housing decisions in a generation — often without much sense of what's actually at stake. On this episode, I sit down with Shane Phillips, housing initiative manager at the UCLA Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, co-host of the UCLA Housing Voice podcast, and author of The Affordable City, to cut through the noise. Shane has spent years translating the research on supply, stability, and subsidy into plain English for policymakers and practitioners, and he walks us through what the evidence actually says about ULA, inclusionary zoning, the CHIP rezoning, and the statewide Howard Jarvis measure — and what every Angeleno should be thinking about before they fill out a ballot in '26.
