Bro, I’m telling you bro this show is gonna be sick bro! Me and my Persian homies are gonna be at the club that you can’t get into because you don’t dress in the finest silk shirts like us and we’re gonna watch the sh!t out of the first episode! Poppin’ Goose and bragging about who has the largest collection of Affliction and Ed Hardy shirts baby! That’s how we Persians do!

And don’t get me started on my sick ride bro! I’ve got a 2007 Mercedes Benz S-class bro! Yeah its got 274,000 miles on it and technically it belongs to my mom but its sittin’ on 22’s bro! And I can borrow it anytime I want so its totally cool! Ryan Seacrest you a genius bro! Anytime you wanna hang at Supper Club let me know. Amir, the bouncer, is my third cousin. I’ll totally hook you up!

This is pretty messed up.

I know plenty of extremely successful people who smoke. Some smoke once in a while, some smoke pretty regularly. Successful serial tech entrepreneurs, lawyers, financiers, a movie producer, and just some fine ass fit wives (to the point of working on it several hours a day).

NONE of them flaunt it, none of them do it during a weekday on a regular basis, and they sure as shit don’t do it around their kids or talk about it to their kids. That is seriously f***ed up.

Taste and good judgment are real things. These ladies seem to have neither. Pathetic.

I get that the toilet-fridge-bed room is probably the guest quarters converted from the garage, but sheesh! Couldn’t they afford to put up some walls when they reno-ed it, especially for the bathroom portion? That’s just creepy! And if it was too small for a full kitchen, why not use a small bar fridge, for pete’s sake? That monstrosity of a fridge in the bedroom is just too much!
The rest of the house is fine. It’s not like you’d be buying all her furnishings and personal belongings too. Very easy fix. get rid of the clutter and throw on some paint. You’d have a rather cute little bungalow.

So tired of people complaining about the fact that many people in LA choose to drive. If you think that the best cities are those that are compact and dense, LA is already F-ed up beyond repair due to its sprawl. Just leave and move to Manhattan. You can and SHOULD densify pockets of this city that are conducive to that, but you can’t shorten the distance between Santa Monica and Downtown, or between Downtown and LAX.

There’s no doubt that we should funnel as much money as possible toward mass transit projects (particularly rail), but quit bitching about improvements to roads. Our car culture is not going away, unless you plow everything down and start over.

@Ghetto Urchin:

I’m confused. An education offers the a great return on investment AND there are lots of worthless types of education? Shouldn’t you be a bit more specific then about what exactly is such a great return on investment?

I’m not anti education by any means, I was in school for 9 years! But all the data showing the return on education is a bit specious when u consider how the class of people who both go to college and the push toward college in our society. A free education should be sufficient – it should be called higher ed for a reasoj.

Harass? No way. I called the local LAPD subdivision about a group of homeless who were doing drugs and prostitution, along with leaving mounds of trash, and pissing and shitting everywhere in a residential area near schools and an early ed center. The response from the homeless liaison, a police officer? "That group refuses homeless services." And, "homeless is not a crime."

Homelessness is often a direct choice, or indirect choice made by bad decisions. You can’t do drugs and live an anti-social lifestyle in a shelter or transitional living house. A bum is a bum. There used to vagrancy laws in this country, for good reasons.

They should be given three choices. Homeless services (already paid by our sales tax, property tax, and developer tax), support yourself, or leave.

Ed, OW…. your responses unfortunately reflect the general biased sentiment of this blog. I have no idea if we’re near bottom or not, though my personal observations tell me that very little bottom was reached in neighborhoods I watch and that activity has been picking up substantially in the past month. Sucker’s rally? Could well be.

In any case my suggestion was merely that new listings are boring as heck and tell us nothing about the market… let’s see what’s sold and what its selling for. I coldn’t give a crap about the foreclosure stats in the IE or SF Valley, … show me what’s selling where I live or want to live.

this sucks compared to a whole bunch of existing mid rise buildings in BH-none of the design decisions- cantilever, checkered glass, actual color, scale/detailing of glazing seem intended to produce specific effects, instead they are just effects, babbled quotes to suggest a kinship with a language, total crap, and hooray to AE for getting out of it. accepting this as a home would be a bad joke on his clients. hooray. and gensler, really, i hope you can do better.
skinman, you must mean pei/cobb caa- not deathstar, which is the high end of the same stick.
ed, i’d buy 89%. or maybe you’re including public storage to pad the numbers. better than most in la, building wise, is sadly not trumpetworthy achievement.
hand- brouhaha- get a dictionary in the mix, it might be fun/mind-expanding.

Lucy Mueller (that’s the Op-Ed writer if you didn’t bother to read it) needs to get some education… or at least get to know more people at USC. $1,000 a month per person at a brand new apartment right next to USC is a screaming bargain. All those USC students currently renting at Promenade, Bunker Hill, Skyline Terrace, Orsini etc will probably be more than glad to move to Gateway. I’m guessing Lucy’s daddy probably paid her rent because if she had to pay her own rent near USC, she’d understand that $1,000 per bed is not expensive… it is about the same as what Cal Student Housing or Conquest Apartments charge for their rat infested hell holes around campus. For about the same price, you get a brand fucking new apartment!

Why doesn’t everybody chill? Cut out all of this hating. It doesn’t get anything done. Can you imagine what you can accomplish for yourselves with all that energy. There’s nothing wrong with Latinos or African-Americans or Asians or Armenians or Polynesians or Germans or Italians or anybody else. They’re all people out here tryin’ to get a nut! And we’ve all got a freak in the Oval Office jackin’ everything up. So what if J.Ed is a tranny – nuthin’ wrong with that, either. The jacked up part about J. Ed is that he was a brother tryin’ to pass. Check him out. I know one when I see one. I’m one.
