Results for “atwater village”

Silver Lake is really no different than Brentwood these days, except if you drive (don’t walk in LA) .5 miles from Sunset Junction, you are in Virgil Village which is infested with gang activity and shady street people. Seriously, Silver Lake lost its "cool" about 5 years ago. Nothing but rich white breeders buying "reclaimed" dinner tables for $2,000. The gelato is pretty good, though. Not sure how a hood with average home sales over $900k could be considered "hip".

FACT: Arleta is listed before Atwater Village when LA neighborhood names are sorted alphabetically.

Where’s Atwater Village????

There are homeless EVERYWHERE in L.A, from DTLA, to Beverly Hills, Westwood, Brentwood and Santa Monica to the Palisades. There are two permanent panhandlers on Rodeo Drive and one on Beverly next to the Crate&Barrel in BH, Westwood Village is filled with homeless, San Vicente in Brentwood? I’ve seen them barefoot hauling their trash, Pacific Palisades on PCH asking for money. It’s not only in Santa Monica, people. But, it is a REAL problem that needs a FAST and EFFICIENT solution. It’s not about having a heart for the homeless, it’s about not having to smell their pee and poo, it’s about being able to use public benches (which are not beds btw), it’s about not being afraid that a homeless on drugs is going to stab you or your loved ones, but most importantly, it just looks plain gross and ugly. No one wants to see a filthy, stinky dude hauling their shopping carts filled with gross trash. No one.

Umm Atwater Village…like hello there?

Seems like a common sense use of tax dollars. They should do this kind of stuff on Melrose, in Atwater Village, Abbot Kinney, etc. etc.

@guest #4: They need to build a streetcar through Larchmont Village.

North of Beverly not trendy? So patrons of Cafe Gratitude and Lemonade are grizzled, salt-of-the-earth types?

Seriously, I always take out-of-towners to Larchmont (I live a mile south) and they unvariably dote on what a pleasant, relaxed, cute area it is. Is it upscale? Of course, but it’s not glutted with ostentatious douchepickles or overrun with smug trust fund hipsterbillies. Besides, those types wouldn’t wanna roll with all cootie-addled kiddos that seem to make up a third the population there on weekend afternoons.

Also, it’s nice there is such a village in LA where you hardly ever see a paparazzo stalking for prey.

The wonderful people of Curbed should offer another suggestion to the mayor. Of course the curbed neighborhood of the year. Atwater!

@guest #18:
I am the retired SM real estate litigation attorney resident at Village Trailer Park writing legal papers to stop this development. So far we are succeeding, and as you say, he has so many hurdles legally I am sure if we can survive it will never happen. However, we are old and there are only 40 families left here, since the land speculator (NOT a developer—the whole purpose for the City and him is to clear us off this land, then put in a parking lot for the Expo line—such a cliche) coerces, cheats, and steals from people to get them to move. Do you know lawyers who will help us? We could pay some as we go along and give a contingent fee on the expected huge settlement or winning amount. Lincoln Place tenants—who were mere tenants, not landowners as we are—got $8 million after seven years of litigation. Homeowners at a park where this same thing happened in San Juan Capistrano got the park in bankruptcy. It’s a great case.
