KTLA

City leaders celebrated the grand opening of a 64-unit affordable housing complex in Boyle Heights Friday.

The Los Lirios housing community is located immediately adjacent to the LA Metro E Line Soto Station, giving tenants easy access to public transit and making it easier to live car-free in a city known for its bumper-to-bumper traffic.

The five-story apartment community at the corner of 1st and Soto streets was built as part of a partnership between LA Metro, which owns the land, and BRIDGE Housing, an affordable housing community developer.

Of the 64 units, 43 are deemed affordable and reserved for families earning between 30-50% of the area median income, with 20 units designated as supportive housing for previously unhoused tenants.

Not a lot, but finally something is complete.

1. The population is growing in California....

therefore tons of high rise apartments are being build all over California.

And the bleak outlook in the future of this country I see an influx of people moving to states trying to protect freedom.

2. Not actually, but our housing shortage is real and severe.

3. TOD is the direction we need to take in this state.

Transit Oriented Development.
