Results for “atwater village”

@guest #60: Very vague comment… There is a tonne of new development outside of those areas… When is the last time you have been there… Regardless its not like LA where its limited to two blocks of the entire city. Catch a soccer game at BMO field or hockey game at the Ricoh next time your in Toronto and walk up to Liberty Village (East of Spadina), if you can say that’s the same as LA then I am missing some nice areas of downtown

i hope this is a big awesome whole foods like Pasadena or Soho and not one of the lame tiny ones like Westwood Village

Ten years ago at the beginning of the last bubble, it was the western most portions of 90019 (e.g.. picfair village, faircrest, crescent heights around kaiser). Now it’s saturated with west LA overflow who can’t afford to buy in west LA or Culver City. So tear down starts at around $600 – $700k.

@guest #28: Anywhere east of culver city south of the 10 (Baldwin Hills, View Park, Baldwin Village, Leimert Park) and west of Arlington. Most of these areas are middle/upper income but the houses are not too, too expensive (upper end is $300/sqft, compared to $700/sqft in Culver City and other similar areas). Plus the stock is newer than mid-city and contains some awesome mid-century gems (esp Baldwin Hills and View Park).

@guest #33:

Sherman Village, Sherwood Forest, and Tarzana Safari Walk.

Westwood Village is too cramped for Disney Hall – though there’s enough retail vacancies right now to warrant tearing them down and putting something big in their place! – but here’s Frank’s point, which y’all are ignoring:

Most people who go to classical concerts are old and rich. Most old and rich Angelenos live on the West Side. Hence, it’s smarter to move the music to the audience, rather than make them schlep.

Keeping these old people from having to drive across the city at night benefits us all. Frank Gehry’s old and he knows the truth.

That’s funny coming from uncle Frank. Back in the late 90’s through early aughts, he was bitching and complaining about how the Getty was so ‘isolated’ on the hill (a la the acropolis) and how his Disney Hall was so connected to the urban fabric and accessible to the people.

The geffen playhouse location would have been completely inappropriate for that scale of a project. The blocks in Westwood are much smaller then the blocks in DT and specifically at the music center. Disney Hall would have taken over half of westwood village.

Mitch O’Farrell said we should all ride our bikes downtown instead of taking the freeway. His solution, since Garcetti and the City ignored all of Caltrans letters about ‘unsafe’ traffic conditions especially on the 101, with Millennium’s inadequate traffic study and contributing traffic. Great solution Mitch..And how much did Millennium contribute to your campaign to turn a blind eye to this problem and join with the others who dismissed Caltrans warnings?..And you live..where? Have you actually ever traveled outside of Atwater Village or Silverlake? TO THE REST OF LA?? That has to take the 101 every day? Like from The Valley? Could someone like you ever get elected without Millennium Money and the Hollywood Chamber PAC, also funded by Millennium?
How does it feel to be a developers puppet??

Woot. A $5M bridge to help private, upscale, stable owners get their rental horses across the river:

"When I heard it was going to be built I was like, ‘Yay!" says Javier Del Angel, manager of The Paddock, an upscale, 200-horse stable along the river’s eastern bank in Atwater. … With La Kretz Crossing providing easy access to the park, Del Angel says he now sees not only safer passage but also new financial opportunities: "I’m thinking about opening a new horse rental business," he says.

@Guest8
Atwater is an equestrian district with hundreds of horses, but this bridge also gives easier access to Griffith Park from North Atwater for the residents. It’s not a private bridge as your small mind suggests, and it is privately funded, which marginalizes your opinion even more.
