My name is Elvina and I want to shape the future of housing. We have a really high demand for housing in Los Angeles, so there's a scarcity problem; if we build more housing, then the demand for housing will equalize with the supply...and it becomes more affordable. So densification is our solution.
Something like the census could help bring data points into fruition.
I was living in Lincoln Heights, and I couldn't afford rent. So i thought, hey, why couldn't I rent a place putting a large number of people in smaller spaces; micro-living. For one fixed price, all included utilities, and security deposit. So we take commercial spaces, and put people in them. Creating new, dense housing.
Housing means the most to me, and I think the 2020 Census is important because we need to understand where the money should go, where to build better housing, how to best educate with classroom sizes. Those data points matter to improve our communities.
