Seth Lichtenstein and his wife, Hollye Levin, are Venice residents active in local anti-housing politics. Seth, an intellectual property lawyer, serves as president of the Coalition for Safe Coastal Development, a NIMBY group created solely to block the Venice Dell supportive housing project for unhoused Angelenos. While he has positioned himself as a civic-minded “concerned neighbor,” the group’s efforts center on stopping affordable and supportive housing near the beach. Lichtenstein, a donor to The Lincoln Project, and Levin are part of the well-connected Westside homeowner class that cloaks opposition to housing for the unhoused in language of “public safety” and “coastal preservation.”
