When the city of Los Angeles introduced the Transit Oriented Communities Affordable Housing Incentive Program, it was a boon for affordable housing advocates in the city. Better known as TOC, the program was born out of Measure JJJ, which voters approved in 2016 and which requires developers planning a development in the city to either add affordable housing or pay a fee.

The TOC program gives developers who have projects within a half-mile of a major transit stop certain incentives for adding affordable or mixed-income housing to their developments. In 2018, 30% of the total number of proposed housing units — 8,184 out of 27,366 units — were filed under this program, according to the city planning department.

Bisnow wants to know what you think of the program and transit-oriented development.
