Results for “lush”

Throwing 43 million you’re basically telling the architectural firm to over-design it. They really had no choice. If the designers leaned on the classic design and carpeted the area with lush grass and gardens, benches and trees, the powers that be would have been screaming "rip-off" or "highway robbery" for designing a simple classic design.

@guest #7: Wow, congrats! Obviously, since there are an abundance of trees in one specific area, it means that LA is city full of parks and tree-lined boulevards! LA is so lush that we’re practically in the Garden of Eden!!

@guest #28: If you want to see native grass, go to Griffith Park or Malibu. Most folks want some lush green respite in this hard city. Irrigating a park the size of Pershing Square would be relatively negligible considering the aesthetic benefits.

Here are some more pictures still on zillow. Has some nice rooms but the layout is a mess, really only has one one decent bedroom the rest are too small or badly shaped. The place looks more like public museum then a home, just how to do everything wrong with contemporary to just to stand out. I would not enjoy living in this sterile landscape, why buy in Bel Air full of lush trees and make your home sterile barren zone:

@guest #2: Keep in mind most movies back then concentrated on the crime and grit; lush Park Ave soap operas weren’t being made in 1974. There were tons of nice neighborhoods around town, and even in the 1970s and ‘80s NYC was THE place to be as far as glamour is concerned. Trust me, if you didn’t live/work here in the 1970s, you missed out on a lot of fun. Not everything was corporatized and controlled like it is today.

@guest #52: Why do people continue to use NYC as the litmus for…everything. Besides, this isn’t NYC. Trust me, the lack of light and airflow will be a problem. I once lived on the 3rd floor of a courtyard style building. I had an interior unit with a balcony overlooking the lush and beautiful courtyard. However, there was only a 2 or 3 hour span during the day where I had sunlight and there was never any fresh breeze. It was worse in the winter, when the sun is low and daylight ends by 5:30pm. It was depressing to say the least.

I believe a development on the East River running up the river from Battery Park could be a highly innovative and exciting community to live, work, recreate and do business in. A modern version of Venice (in that it too is built on pilings, wood at that) might work along with a system of canals, locks and dams, bridges, and creatively designed cantilevered structures which act to hold back flood waters from large storms. If the development were primarily built on especially coated steel pilings, concrete and stone the expense of landfill could be heavily reduced. How about a community that is heavily integrated with water borne recreation where residential towers hold docking and storage facilities for their residents’ canoes, kayaks and oceangoing sculling craft – likewise for hotels, office towers and gyms located in the area. Imagine a huge floating indoor greenhouse covered lush greenery and an equal amount swimming area next to cafes all operating year round.

Garcetti needs to work on the sprawl problem, parks and education. Those are the 3 big problems facing us today in addition to of course transporation, which is at least being addressed.

Huge upzoning – and I mean huge. Take 5 square miles with great transit already and just make it unlimited density.

A couple of huge parks. Take over some golf courses and have instant lush green parks. And don’t tell me about Griffith Park – I know we have the largest dry hill in the country that any city has the gall to call a park, but it’s not the park I’m talking about.

Education. How hard can it be to provide a fucking mediocre education? The current schools are shit, even though the funding levels per student are enough to provide excellence.

looks my my fraternity house, minus the pool and lush landscaping. and dignity, obviously.

@guest #19: NO ALCOHOL IN PUBLIC, YOU F’ING LUSH!!!
