Highland Park has amazing potential. Figueroa is a charming old street in that area and the housing stock of old 1920s bungalows, along with hills, oaks, sycamores and views all make it potentially one of of the prettiest areas of LA. But it’s been neglected forever. A lot of homes and yards are not kept in good repair. Gang violence has been a problem in the past. And the aesthetics of freehand painted signs on the stucco over front of a business has kept it that way — until recently. 500k for that amount of new home in any 1/2 way desirable area of LA is a find. The easy to commute to everywhere is a bonus. Except the Westside. If you work on the Westside, stay way the hell away from these because the 110 and 10 will drain the life out of you. But downtown, Pasadena, out east, the Valley? Great location.

@wanderer:
And another reason: tech. Pasadena, which is already a major tech hub, is fast on its way to becoming the second epicenter of tech in LA after Santa Monica/Venice.

This tower needs to be turned into a tourist attraction complete with a palm springs style cable tram that carries people to the top of the mountain. No cars. Instead connect to the Pasadena Gold Line Via Allen Avenue. Maybe a trolly to and from.

@thehighandlow:
All of the neighborhood is broken hearted about the cafe de leche.
The Cafe de Leche owners had a beautiful design for the rehabilitation of the 1926 building which was approved by the HPOZ, it would have helped in the beautification of neighborhood greatly. The owner Pam did not need to invest any money into the process the Cafe de Leche owners were going to improve her property value all on there own dime. Someone convinced her she should not participate in the gentrification of the area.
I hope know one brings patronizes the mechanic shop so they are gone quickly. Several people are working hard on slowing down the traffic along the Ave 64 corridor, if you have not signed the petition please sign and forward to neighbors. http://www.change.org/p/join-los-angeles-and-pasadena-in-creating-a-safer-avenue-64-for-everyone

I’m not saying we shouldn’t build A, we should build B instead. I’m saying, in time, we should plan to build B because it’s a good idea and we shouldn’t waste any of our government cheddar on frivolous vanity projects.

Theres much better ways to foster charm in downtown than a lame streetcar. Road diets/sidewalk widening, the freeway cap park, relax the restriction on sidewalk dining, repurpose some of those alleyways in the historic core (like mercantile place in pasadena) …all that shit that makes new urbanists stroke their balls

Nice looking building… anyone living in the city that thinks this is too tall or too dense, should probably see a therapist. This just looks like a typical apartment block on a sleepy side street in Pasadena

Yeah, I’ve seen some of these folks while jogging along the path… anyone know if there’s services and shelters in NELA that they’re sending these people to?

I know Pasadena has a few, and obviously there’s several downtown… but I don’t believe there’s any in the immediate area (which apparently they are needed.)

This is the dumbest infographic I’ve ever seen, in a life full of seeing dumb infographics. Pasadena, on its own, has more culture than Indianapolis and Jacksonville. Chicago’s lakefront museum campus is one of the finest in the world, so of course they’re listed last. San Francisco and Los Angeles are both cultural behemoths. I could go on. Quantity doesn’t mean quality, and I’ll take one Getty Center over 150 Art Museums of Central Indiana any day.

@Ghetto Urchin: I would agree with you but the area truly lacks the human talent and labor pools that support the economic hubs you speak of. Pasadena would be the better area for now. However, as the area develops and gentrifies, what you desire (and many others) can perhaps become more a reality.

Doug Haines, who has filed a lawsuit against the project on behalf of the La Mirada …is also with east Hollywood neighborhood council

Richard MacNaughton is with Los Angeles Coalition, an unpopular rabble rouser of the city
