^ That looks similar to an apartment building that was recently completed in Palms no?

As an ardent supporter of public transit, I would actually vote NO on this measure under those terms (and I would encourage you guys to do the same). It's better to wait four years and come up with a better plan than to be married to this abomination for 40 years.

I don't know about that, but I don't think this has any chance of passing. Nothing in it to get excited about. The best thing is finishing the purple line early.

I've only skimmed it but don't really have the interest right now to finish. It doesn't seem to make much sense. $425 million for bus rapid transit on Vermont?!? I can only imagine that Measure R is underperforming and these costs are inflated to cover.

Proposed 34-story West LA tower still alive

34-story, 388-foot tall tower planned by Douglas Emmett with 376 apartments. Previously included a retail component, which has been dropped in favor of a 25,000-square-foot park.

[Illithid Dude]

That park doesn't look very open to me...

[Doctorboffin]

Looks alright. Nice to see more green space.

The L.A. Times article called this project "controversial" which is absolutely ridiculous and bad reporting frankly.

Just because a very vocal handful of people with a lot of other people's money are opposed hardly qualifies as controversial.

Public disagreement is literally the definition of controversial. In this case, I'd say there's objectively no hyperbole from the LA Times due to the use of the word. I'm all for the project and against the bullshit opposition, but it's OK to call it controversial at the same time.

I would not consider literally like 5 people, with some sort of agenda or vendetta, as "public disagreement".

I bet 99.9% of the population either has never heard of this project, has no opinion about it, or is in favor of building it to help clean up the area and cut the housing shortage.

^ I think that's the grassroots message that needs to be put out there when their proposed measure eventually makes it to a ballot (next year?). They've been very good at spinning this as a luxury housing issue, but it's really about their views and assumed traffic impacts (which are also overstated for this specific project).

It's sad, because some of the issues they bring into the fold - specifically the inclusion of affordable housing into the zoning plan and for projects requesting variances or increases in allowing zoning - really should be discussed, but not under the framework of their current proposal.

^ So that's what they're building there! Drove by there the other day and wondered what that was.

I'm digging the Burbank tower as well. Where is that?
