Zev Yaroslavsky (born December 21, 1948) is a politician from Los Angeles County, California. He was a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors from District 3, an affluent district which includes the San Fernando Valley, the Westside of Los Angeles and coastal areas between Venice and the Ventura County line.[1] He was first elected to the board in 1994. Yaroslavsky served on the Los Angeles City Council from 1975 to 1994.
During his tenure in Los Angeles politics, Yaroslavsky played an influential role in limiting housing construction and development in the city, leading a "slow-growth movement."[2] Yaroslavsky argued in 1987 that Los Angeles had "filled up."[3] He authored Proposition U, a successful 1986 ballot initiative, that the Los Angeles Times called "the largest one-shot effort to limit development in the city's history."[4]
In the 1990s, he blocked expansion of light rail into Santa Monica and authored Proposition A, a successful 1998 ballot initiative which prevented new expansions of the Los Angeles Metro Rail.[5]
