Today, March 3 at 3:30 AM the LA City Public Safety Committee will be reviewing the updated "Building a Safer Los Angeles", anti-wood construction motion.

In reality new homes constructed with wood are very safe and banning it will dramatically reduce housing production and increase the costs to build.
