<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">There is no easy answer for the housing affordability crisis in Los Angeles. But embracing growth rather than fighting it can create a city for everyone, not just the most
fortunate among us. For much of the last 40 years, planning in Los Angeles has been guided by the idea that growth is bad, that more people mean more congestion, pollution and social ills.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
