I’m LA resident and you can absolutely buy condos for less than that. In fact, here’s a whole house up the street from the lot for less: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Los-Angeles/411-N-Ditman-Ave-90063...

This project would be better off buying up some delapidated properties and making them habitable again.

LA housing: a 100 year old 900 sq foot place surrounded by chain link fences for the low price of $450k.

Never said it was a palace, but it’s a house for less than what the program wants to spend on a unit, likely equivalent of a one bedroom.
