That’s why Fairfax makes the most sense for the alignment. The street is already used for Rapid Bus service (780) to Hollywood, so there is clearly demand for quick travel. it would connect WeHo along Santa Monica with Hollywood, the Farmer’s Market, LACMA, and Little Ethiopia while also providing Purple and Red Line commuters the fastest way to travel north/south during rush hour. Going up San Vicente makes no sense and the travel time from Hollywood to the Purple Line will be too slow.

Imagine the shock to see this, my former home of three years, extensively remodeled and for sale in the millions! I moved in as a renter in late 1980. A complete renovation had just been completed and it was tastefully lavish and ever so beautiful! I was lucky to have the entire home to myself for 300. per month, no deposit! The landlords moved in and we amicably cohabited upstairs while they built out what is now the master downstairs into a cute apartment with the same double French doors looking out onto the pool. Oh, if these walls could talk!! Ha ha ha! The rent remained at 300. a month throughout.
Cleavon Little of Blazing Saddles was my friend and next door neighbor. Danny D’ Vito and his family lived a few doors down. Other actors and directors lived on the block and coyotes abounded. I moved out to relocate to Santa Monica in the Spring of 1984.
And FYI, the wood floors are not original. They had been beautifully replaced shortly before I moved in by late 1980.

This needs to happen. But the challenge designing the line is that we actually need TWO lines: one that travels north / south (up La Brea to Highland & Hollywood), and a second line that travels east / west down (Santa Monica and into Beverly Hills along the old red car route). Most of these drawings have a zig zaggy line that tries to be two train lines at once. If we can only afford to build one line, the line that makes the most sense is straight up La Brea. La Brea is a great street for this and it will connect directly to the red line at Hollywood and Highland and make for a grand north / south line for the entire metro area, fluidly connect the valley with the LAX.

It’s certainly a far cry from Beverly Hills / Santa Monica, but that little pocket of Hollywood is gentrifying at warp speed.

Could be a nice opportunity, although it’s really more of a 1bdrm with a bonus room and the lack of central air, etc is a drag. Very pretty living room though.

I’m trying to imagine myself cooking a meal in the Santa Monica apartment’s kitchen and it’s just not happening. Nearly zero counter space. Great neighborhood, though.

I think you mean great post, Steven Sharp and Urbanize.LA. See his piece, published the day before:
https://urbanize.la/post/renderings-revealed-frogtown-livework-development

She shortened it and shuffled some words, but couldn’t be bothered to differentiate the headline, dek (sub-headline), and one particular paragraph.

Steven’s title and dek:
Renderings Revealed for Frogtown Live/Work Development
New development to rise at L.A. River-adjacent site.

Bianca’s:
First look at LA River-adjacent live/work complex
52 units headed for Elysian Valley

Steven’s third paragraph:
Santa Monica-based KFA Architecture is designing the proposed development, which would consist of two connected three-story buildings with a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments. A central courtyard would run between the buildings, which would be connected above by bridges. Other open spaces would include a 5,500-square-foot landscaped courtyard and an indoor community room, as well as public and private roof decks.

Bianca’s second and fourth paragraphs:
As seen in new renderings included in city planning documents, the complex from Uncommon Developers would take the form of two, three-story buildings connected with bridges and a long, landscaped courtyard running between both structures.

The KFA Architecture-designed project would include five units affordable to very low income households, plus balconies, public and private roof decks, and parking for 58 cars.

Hey Bianca, if you ever want to learn to mine public documents to get out in front on new developments, instead of just lifting from reporters and bloggers with actual skills, there are tutorials for that. There are also mailing lists that might help you.

And on the real estate deal exclusives, the way you do that is develop relationships with brokers. That’s afternoons on the phone, watching streets, and getting leads from appraisers. Once you get your first few exclusives, honor your embargoes. Do what you say you will. Put a different way, be trustworthy. Of course, purloining the work of others in a big-but-small town does not help you in that regard.

I come in peace but wanted to comment on something. Your facts may be correct but your suggestion may not be. The reason "Santa Clarita communities outsell every area in LA" is simply because of stock and cost. LA has very little stock of affordable homes compared to Santa Clarita/Valencia.

A handful of people will agree that Santa Clarita is stretch from Los Angeles. I remember when people use to tell me that Palmdale and Lancaster had mansions for sale that cost as little as a one bedroom one bathroom home in Los Angeles back in the 90’s. No thank you.

To be fair, if I had to settle for dumpy Santa Clarita, I’d probably try and invent ways to make myself feel better about how my life ended up as well.

Maybe you don’t, but according to MLS, Santa Clarita communities outsell every area in LA County. I’m talking about number of properties, not selling prices.

What’s so funny about them? Some dude in rural Idaho is probably paying a fraction of your mortgage to own a house twice as big. I guess they’re probably laughing at you?

It’s great that you’ve found a place that works for you and is affordable, but other people aren’t idiots because they want to live in Los Angeles and not Santa Clarita. Everyone has different priorities.
