@ Comment 1: Agreed.

Taking out the ballpark or Brentwood School’s fields will magically solve the problem of homeless veterans. The folks filing the lawsuit are, I think, barking up the wrong tree. There’s a lot of passion around the VA property, in part because of an old plan to develop the whole property. That’s as dead as can be, but many of the people who fought against it — and won! — are still looking for a fight.

@jackstraw: Sure, there’s some extremes where that may make sense. But in LA, houses and apartments are all jumbled up on the same blocks and the only real threat in most neighborhoods is speeding cars (which I’d be doubly worried about in tonie west side neighborhoods like Pac Pal, Bel Air or Brentwood where there often isn’t even sidewalks.)

@Gabriel Jones: I don’t care about either city, but you cannot compare Santa Monica to Calabasas, that’s just stupid. I’m sure your well aware of the new trend in Santa Monica erasing it’s so called "charm" in place of the Mcmansions you so despise in Calabasas. Calabasas and Santa Monica are nothing alike, so you can’t even compare them. You have to be a transplant if you didn’t know that. Their totally different, Brentwood/Palisades are more comparable to Calabasas, hence Tony star-studded neighborhoods.

@RickSlaten: North of Montana Ave is…well still Santa Monica. The house from Beverly Hills Cop (closing scene) is on the market there for over 25 million dollars. Actually (without name callin) most thats north of Wilshire Blvd is pretty darn wealthy and is not touristy. I’m not sure what "wealthier city in the US" means, but considering Hidden Hills has fewer than 2000 folks living there (Bev Hills about 34, 000) perhaps per capita is what you’re aiming at, perhaps? Calabasas is tasteless McMansions and Hidden Hills is a horse farm, you can find that in Brentwood (just west of Mandeville Canyon) and still get the ocean breezes.

Makes sense all the wealthy Beverly Hills and Brentwood folks buy their mistress(like Donald Sterling, Kesley Grammer etc) and ex-wives a house in BH or Brentwood. You wonder why property prices are so high? Each high net worth person needs 3 homes just to make it today.

@Bel Air Dreams: "L.A. city takes our tax money and gives back nothing."
Except for you know, access to the second largest city in the country and all its jobs and commerce, without which Bel Air and Brentwood wouldn’t exist. What you want is to benefit from all the perks of living in a community without giving anything back. I hear Somalia doesn’t have any of those pesky social contracts, might want to move there.

@Liberace: It opened in the 1990’s and pretty good also. I think by having their own district they will also have a better schools. It’s time more cities had their own districts, hopefully WeHo makes a push one day. Smaller districts are more responsive, higher property prices, better for the community, and have higher test scores. I wish Bel Air and Brentwood were their own city also, instead L.A. city takes our tax money and gives back nothing.

More, please.

Someone must love the 80’s to buy this. Please people stop building modern homes in Bel Air. 90% are done wrong and won’t sell or for just land value. Same goes for Beverly Hills and Brentwood, don’t waste your money.

Whats with the ‘bad Brentwood air’ ? I live in Brentwood, and am always amazed at the difference in air quality, as I drive west, from say Pasadena (the San Gabriel Valley, like the SFV, are big bowls of smoggy polution), through Hollywood, W. Hollywood, Bev. Hills, Westwood – where it seems to begin clearing, and Brentwood – where it smells fresh, and the proximity to the ocean breeze, and clean air, seem to waft over our community. I don’t live on the corner of Wilshire/Barrington however, which is a traffic nightmare, most of the day.
