Here’s where the 101 Freeway cap park would change Downtown LA
I thought the Hollywood Central Park proposal was way larger than this one? The proposal there is to cap the 101 from Bronson to Santa Monica. This one seems quite a bit more modest.

Potential buyers who are unfamiliar with the bumper-to-bumper traffic on Coldwater Canyon headed over the hill, and back, should investigate this before committing to this house.

Sunset Strip’s Tower Records building vulnerable as Gibson declares bankruptcy
I, myself, me, and my own person lived in that one 3bedroom apartment building in Santa Monica. I myself am so great, the holiest of all, that I declare, based on my own opinion, that I am so great, therefore that apartment building shall be declared historical to be preserved based on the greatest that occurred inside that 100 year old, blue, and sorely-needing repairs apartment building.
Nevermind the absence of any meticulously crafted architecture or impressive wonder my building lacks, but because Cleavon Little declares own his own opinion such a crappy building is a vital icon because of "what happened inside", I declare my old residence as so!
The city that everybody complains about, but nobody will leave.
I’m a thirty year resident transplanted from New York. When I moved here my rent controlled apartment four blocks from Santa Monica Beach was $500 per month but there was also a brown haze hovering over the ocean. The brown haze is gone, but so are Affordable apartments by the beach. I’ve had prosperous times and not so prosperous times While in Los Angeles. I definitely prefer the former.
Metro directors pick two options for new rail line through Downtown LA
The comments regarding who would travel all the way from SF to LA on the train and bypassing the Antelope Valley segment of the high speed rail network are shortsighted, to say the least. Are we to assume that if you don’t take the Expo line all the way from Downtown Santa Monica to 7th/Metro it was a waste to build? That argument is ridiculous. It’s called a network. Some people will ride all of it and many just a portion. Are we also to assume that bypassing an area that has close to 500,000 people makes any kind of sense. Get real. Either route you take requires extensive tunneling. So you can tunnel where people actually live or you can tunnel unde the Grape Vine because you are enamored with straight lines.
County supervisor says ‘all feasible build alternatives’ should be studied for Metro’s next rail line
Expo line from downtown to 7th St takes 46 minutes. So let’s say the regional connector is completed, add another 4 minutes for the two extra stops to Little Tokyo. So Expo Line, without accounting for the time to get to the train and wait for the train is 50 minutes. Even if the train from downtown to Santa Ana is at a separate grade, I can’t see how it would take less than 1 hour counting all of the stops (the Blue line from 7th St to LB is 58 minutes). And this doesn’t include wait times and assumes the trains are on time. So if you are traveling from SaMo to OC, it is still faster to take the 405 even with traffic.
