Results for “hollywood hills”

Baldwin Hills (Baldwin Vista specifically). Best views (by far) of anywhere in the city.

I’m guessing the diff between the 200 RC apartments and the 147 is that a) some of the 200 were vacated and not re-rented, b) some have tenants with incomes higher than the cutoff for "low-income" and c) a few were not "in good standing", whatever that means. I don’t think rent-control was on the new market-rate units under the earlier plan.

The new units will get good rents but not like they would in Hollywood. As the area improves rent-control will keep those rents at that level, net of inflation, whereas new developments will be free to go higher. I’m not crazy about that requirement but maybe it was fair to get such a huge density bonus. Projects like this create a lot of employment in the community which helps people afford the rent and get ahead.

Expanding areas of consideration to North Hollywood, where there is considerable positive development occurring (e.g. NoHo, and NoHo West https://la.curbed.com/2017/4/6/15212058/noho-west-north-hollywood-development-macys), and Valley Glen would reveal good opportunities at this price point.

The same locations keep re-appearing in these comparison articles. It’s lazy blogging.

Then you’re interpreting the boundaries wrong. The problem isn’t getting from WeHo to the Hollywood / Highland stop, rather it’s that there is no direct line from the Crenshaw terminal to the Red Line (Hollywood). Getting between Hollywood and WeHo is the easy part.

The route you described above is beyond circuitous. It’s going all the way east to DTLA on the Expo line, in a completely different direction, before you can transfer to the Red Line and go west again… and finally north, which is the only direction you should have been going in the first place, when you start from LAX / Crenshaw.

WeHo / Hollywood need a rail line because quite simply there isn’t a single rail line west of DTLA that goes North and South to connect the Expo, Red, and upcoming LAX line.

This is the missing link to the transit density question and should be made a priority over everything else.

Trains arriving slowly is a big issue, but ridership will most likely increase dramatically once they open the Purple line extension. A majority of offices buildings in Los Angeles are located along Wilshire Blvd into the westside. It’s a shame they couldn’t have focused on the Purple line and made it a priority (cough thanks for screwing us over Beverly Hills cough).

Only 13 miles and probably an hour and a half to Hollywood

Huh? Furthest west the redline goes is Hollywood and Highland, then it’s at Universal City. That’s not remotely WeHo.

Did you check the Metro’s map?
DTLA is already the Metro’s hub. Hundreds of routes terminate there.

You can get from Crenshaw to West Hollywood even now. Just use the Expo Line to DTLA and then the Red Line to WeHo.

Redline frequency does suck. Its useful to get into Hollywood, but if you’re catching a movie, it sucks adding twice your travel time to not miss the start time if you go through the turnstiles as a train is pulling away.

It’s pretty clear they are using Uber or Lyft. Metro doesn’t reach most riders. There’s always a first mile and last mile disconnect, which won’t be solved for years or never. LA should do a few things right. Just try to cover the DTLA area first and major points of interest like LAX. Get the Sepulveda to UCLA and LAX and the Crenshaw line to West Hollywood first. Practically everyone else will use their cars. Yay Hoo.
