The Greater Wilshire Neighborhood Council's board meets online Oct. 14. Its agenda asks the board to oppose Charter Amendment PL on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot, support a 147-unit, 100% affordable housing project at 975 S. Manhattan Pl. and file a Community Impact Statement supporting a citywide vacant and nuisance property program (Council File 26-1280). On September 9 the board voted to file Community Impact Statements opposing Council File 24-0867, to the extent it would mandate youth seats and term limits for Neighborhood Councils (14-0, one abstention), and Council File 26-0906-S4, to the extent it would require CERT training for board members (15-0). The same agenda listed a resolution opposing the City's Missing Middle LA housing program and a letter urging opposition to SB 1116.
