$699,000 for a 630 square foot 1br/1ba condo in Beachwood Canyon?

Some folks be cray-cray, yo.

Today, April 20, 2017, it is cloudy and gloomy throughout the entire Boston area – can you see where this writer is going with this blog entry?: SHADOWS are part and parcel of the natural world as trees cast shadows, mountains, canyon walls and hills cast shadows, a FIVE STORY building as well as those 50 stories in height ALL CAST SHADOWS!. And yes Virginia, there is a SHADOW CAST by the lofty, aerial-borne CLOUD -damn those clouds. As someone admittedly in the architectural engineering and construction industrial community, and please excuse my bias on this issue, but this SHADOW MANIA in Boston has gotten very, very far out of hand.

Who does not appreciate a shadow on a broiling hot, sticky-humid and steamy Boston Summer day? I agree with Andrew8-8000 (my, I just got the reference) who pointed out the characteristic interior darkness of Trinity Church and as well, other church structures – to hold up a development and/or thwart it outright because of a very short period of LESS light (the word "darkness" is hyperbolic) is PATENTLY absurd. More commentaries on this and other anti-development and anti high rise matters pertaining to this quirky City of Boston are forthcoming. BTW, I too enjoy gazing upon our OLD, ANCIENT Structures and Architectural styles of past centuries, but Boston is NOT A MUSEUM; it’s a MODERN CITY with a past, present and FUTURE!

this seems terrible. The digital signs are so bright they can be seen from miles away -the one opposite the Comedy Store is a nuisance from all the way at Indian Rock at the top of Runyon Canyon. Four more is a real punishment for anybody with eyeballs.

And what are the plans for across the street, the equally abandoned Laurel Plaza West?

Unfortunately, the Toll Brothers are not being completely honest. There are still leaks at the Aliso Canyon facility, even with it supposedly off line. The LA County fire department has said at state hearings and also at the state hearing for SB-57 that there’s seismic and fire concerns if the facility is allowed to reopen.

If any prospective home buyers have kids (or intend to start a family), an important question will be about what schools the children will be able to attend. Both Castlebay Elementary and Porter Ranch Community School (K-8) are both filled to capacity. If a realtor tells you your children will go to one of these, they may be BS-ing you. Most like your children will be assigned to schools in Chatsworth (Germain ES, Lawrence MS, and Chatsworth High).

Even if schools aren’t a concern, I would suggest waiting to make sure the gas storage facility is permanently shut down and that proper cleaning of the home (for toxic chemicals that have settled into the environment as a result of the gas blowout) is completed before signing your paperwork.

Jefferson Park is actually West Adams. Beverly Crest is Beverly Glen Canyon.

Bouquet Canyon Rd is NOT closed. I drive it everyday from Palmdale to Santa Clarita and back.

I guess we should build elevators all over the grand canyon so people in wheelchairs can hike it.

An immaculate, well-maintained, well-presented property. There is much to like here—the master bath in particular with its strong horizontal lines. We’ve seen a series of mid-century examples in these pages over the past three weeks. I was surprised by what a lasting impression the Maynard Woodard house in Fryman Canyon made on me, from the standpoint of the proportions afforded by the raised center roof ridge. While I admire this Wonderland Park Avenue home very much, because of the Woodard design I’m not seeing flatter roof designs-even with pop-ups-in exactly the same way as I did previously.

from reading this article and the article in the LA Times, it seems to me that sunset ranch’s complaints were that the city was turning away sunset ranch’s customers and the hikers were clogging up the trail & easement, interfering with their business. the judge said that the city couldn’t close the trail and that the city couldn’t prevent hikers from clogging up the trail/easement; implicit in both articles is that the judge ordered that the city couldn’t prevent sunset ranch deliveries & customers from using the gate, since they both mention a finding that the city’s gate was blocking sunset ranch’s customers.

So the gate will be closed to hikers, but will presumably be available for hay trucks, horse trailers, etc. going to sunset ranch? so the city will be maintaining a gate for the exclusive benefit of the sunset ranch, a private business, just to keep some of the canyon residents happy? it’s disingenuous for recreation and parks to say that the gate’s closure to hikers is in response to the judge’s orders, since nothing in the judge’s orders required them to close off the gate (at least in what i’ve read here and in the LA Times). the city could take down the gate and still be in compliance with the judge’s orders. or am i missing something?
