@CatholicBloc: Your the infantile retard since you need to go crying out names like "stupid doofus" when your ideas are challenged. You also believe all towers are luxury, never mind the 100 affordable units. You also have no sense of supply and demand and the limited effects of any one sole project mitigating the tremendous demand out there. Btw, buildings are truly us as they reflect our environment, ideas, and living concepts. You’re the one who doesn’t understand how cities work, especially from a regional level where the aggregate effects of local NIMBYism is literally destroying our efforts of environmental sustainability amid an already sprawled out metropolis of traffic congestion.

Some "catholic" you are you blockhead. Is that why your name is "CatholicBloc"?!

This is very unpleasing news.

@Buildings R Us: How does constantly building luxury towers even remotely help affordability you stupid doofus.

"Buildings R Us" sounds like a child’s store and its very fitting because you have a really stupid deluded childlike idiocy in understanding how cities work.

@Buildings R Us:
Not quite.

Rail apologists repeatedly insist that the tens of billions we’re spending on mass (not "rapid") transit is not intended to alleviate traffic.

M and R are WAY overrated IMHO

With proximity to the Gold Line station, a big housing shortage, and housing unaffordability in LA, this is a major fail on the part of the Los Angeles City government leadership that caters to NIMBY SCUM!!! With the way Los Angeles is developing, the current practice of public scoping and input is doing more harm than good for our regional planning. We are investing billions into our mass transit networks to help alleviate traffic and we continue to build low-density structures near their stations. LA FAIL!!!

@BrianSorensen: R U that Chicago Bears fanatic that I once worked with high up in the Union Bank tower?

The VA, like any other federal bureaucracy, is budget-sensitive and cash-strapped.It’s current practice of retail-type uses for income isn’t surprising. This issue also brings back to light last years ballot bill of Proposition 41 (Housing homeless vets) – which passed.

Prop 41 "Enacted the Veterans Housing and Homeless Prevention Bond Act of 2014 to authorize $600 million in bonds to provide multifamily housing, such as apartment complexes, to low-income veterans and supportive housing for homeless veterans."

This article mentions how unclear it is for the VA to get the housing money it needs. Perhaps Proposition 41 might have a role in all of this?!

great density planning when/if the purple line gets extended this far in the 2020’s.

@DTLA Star: Great point and I agree!
