“I challenge the way they’re actually trying to compensate for the lack of housing. You’re not able to do that in the next 50 years in LA. There are other people like me who would actually challenge the city. We are willing to sign a guaranteed contract. I can deliver 10,000 units in five years. It’s not that difficult, trust me,” says Amir Jawaherian.

Los Angeles is trying to build more affordable housing for low-income families and the homeless. Under state law, LA is required to plan for nearly half a million housing units by 2029, with 40% of them affordable to lower-income households. However, developers say that various local policies are making it increasingly difficult to pursue housing projects. Siyamak sits down with Amir Jawaherian, a developer and real estate agent who shares his perspective on how difficult it is to build housing in Los Angeles.
