Every dot on this map is a parcel that has been redeveloped in the past 15 years. Yellow is single-family* Green is duplex Red is apartment building Notice something? In single-family zones, a massive number of homes have been torn down and replaced with mansions
Somebody is going to buy a bunch of burnt down lots up in the Palisades and build Tony Stark’s mansion
I think we can safely assume that, in the absence of any zoning restrictions, the new developments would be almost exclusively multifamily (and often quite dense)?
Santa Monica would look like Miami on the Pacific.
Just out of frame: Arcadia (solid yellow)
Importantly, this shows that restrictive zoning does not deter gentrification, as gentrifying neighborhoods have plenty of yellow even where there's no multi-family redevelopment

(the asterisk is that condos and small-lot homes also show up in yellow, but those are not going to be in single-family neighborhoods)
