"but the Logan Square neighborhood, and many other neighborhoods, are facing rising housing cost due to gentrification. At the neighborhood level some folks believe that the demographic changes in a neighborhood, correlating with rising housing cost, constitute a crisis and the root of that crisis is housing cost." . . . " I do believe neighborhoods and the city as a whole are better off when there is a variety of housing in any given neighborhood and that housing serves folks up and down the income spectrum"

Whining that you can’t live in a particular neighborhood does not justify leaping to the conclusion that the city as a whole has an affordability crisis. There are other, stable-but-unfashionable neighborhoods. As for a variety of housing in any given neighborhood, are you telling us that the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Lake View, or Hyde Park would be "better off" (and by what measure?) with more "affordable housing?"

As for gentrification, the City is broke and needs the money. End of discussion. The poor can live in stable neighborhoods, or downtrodden neighborhoods. That’s a question of providing City services to the right areas — resource allocation as one poster put it in another thread — not inhibiting development and starving the City of revenue and taxes.

I don’t think flooding is as big of an issue along the Chattahoochee since the installation of the Buford dam that created Lake Lanier. Besides a water reservoir flood control was a big issue before it was built

Amusing. Here in my neighborhood of Silver Lake, people started building large additional backyard structures – up to 2,000 sf, I would guess. On a single block near me, there are four of these things. Typically, there’s a 1920s/30s style bungalow, close to the front of the property line, then a modern two or three story box in the backyard. I have no idea if these are legal, and I suspect not, but given that there are so few inspectors in the city of L.A., it’s a giant party of ‘build whatever the hell you want’.

Maybe it’s just better to conform the laws to the reality. Kind of like what we did for the marijuana industry.

I think this is rather stylish and lovely. Of course Atwater has done well being located just across the river from Silver Lake. We even knew a few Atwater families back when we were at Camelot Kids.

$2 billion (!) in damage to Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake from the July 4th Ridgecrest earthquake:

Not @ $275K you don’t. Lake front would be a few bucks more

This is a really nice option for a second home. And a lot more economical because its not on a lake. With all of those windows, I would want a little more space from my neighbors than I assume these will have, but I guess there has to be a trade off somewhere.

Definitely cool affordable second homes for lower earners or retirees on a budget, but a no go for the boyz and I we need lake frontage and a wake boat.

Great Story ~
Thanks LACurbed, one of my favorite sites always. As a SoCal South OC kid growing up, first moving out and on… My first ‘apartment’ was a $165./mo. Railroad Shack next to the RR Tracks on Lake Street in Downtown Huntington, before moving to a variety of nearby ‘Beach Houses’ in Huntington, Laguna, Belmont Shore & Santa Barbara. All of those places have become So Gentrified, though actually of all those places – I’d say Laguna retains the most character in regard to its original Beach House Culture. Here’s a kind of related story from those days ~
