LA Area Chamber Calls on City Council to Reform Measure ULA

by L.A. Area Chamber

LOS ANGELES (April 17, 2026) - The Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce calls on the Los Angeles City Council for immediate reform of Measure ULA. Chamber President & CEO Maria S. Salinas issues the following statement:

"Los Angeles voters passed Measure ULA with legitimate urgency, and we respect that. But the evidence is now clear. Researchers from UCLA, Harvard, UC San Diego, and UC Irvine have all found that this policy is producing less housing, less commercial investment, and less tax revenue than promised.

Los Angeles is weeks away from the FIFA World Cup and two years from the Olympic and Paralympic Games. A real estate market that works is not optional. Reform is not optional. We are asking the Council to act now, with the urgency this moment demands."
