In Los Angeles and much of Southern California, more multi-family homes are being planned and built than single-family residences.
"Construction of condos and apartments is rapidly overtaking that of single-family residences, even in suburbs known for spread-out living."
"Over the last six years, Los Angeles has approved more than 14,000 condos and apartments for construction in the San Fernando Valley, according to city records, nearly three times the number of single-family residences."
"It's a trend that is mirrored throughout the region, and it is expected to intensify as Southern California stretches to accommodate a crush of 6.3 million new residents over the next 30 years."
"So many new apartments will be built that by 2035, the number of multi-family dwellings under construction will outstrip the number of single-family residences two to one, according to projections by the Southern California Assn. of Governments."
