Well it’s apparent nobody on the city council lives in venice beach
Not from Cali but if what I read is correct, the homeless have already taken over Venice Beach.
The “progressives” keep finding more ways to put their political agendas ahead of good governance and common sense.
Cabrini Green comes to Venice—with predictable outcome.
+$550k per unit to develop is NOT affordable housing. It’s a pay off to a benefactor.
So that’s what, about half a mil of taxpayer money per unit?
CA has an interesting definition of affordable.
They’ll be stumped when the crime goes up.
Affordable housing hasn’t had anything to do with inexpensive housing for quite a while. Just another racket for people who know the ins and outs of the govt programs, just like wind power, solar, defense, etc. Wait until you see the prices on this “affordable” housing.
$75M for 136 units? That’s just part of a never ending down payment if they are trying to clear the beach.
Excellent play for this the projects. Start hammering.
“I keep saying build projects in Beverly Hills but nobody listens to me.”
Agreed - but don’t forget Marina Del Rey or Brentwood either. They’re just as deserving.
I keep saying build projects in Beverly Hills but nobody listens to me.
After that the druggies will be able to move into the once pricey neighborhood.
This is an unintentionally brilliant plan. Not only will they create new low cost housing but eventually Venice Beach housing will become more affordable as well.
They had to know this was coming. I’ve personally witnessed the once safe affluent LA area neighborhoods shrink and become surrounded by hordes of violent savages, low life, morons and assorted kinky dings. Look at OC....They used to call the 605 the great white fence...Now it’s been moved east to the 55 Fwy. The Valley? Ferrrget about it.
Nice to see one more chicken coming home to roost
Sad. And yet so damn ironic/funny.
The goal is to reduce every neighborhood to section 8 status. They’re getting there.
There are bad people and there are evil people. We are being assaulted by evil people. If we don’t respond appropriately, we are going to get buried. We haven’t so far.
I hope Denver will send their deranged street people there.
I’m sure Howard Roark could build them cheaper but that wouldn’t be sufficient for the developers who grease city hall politicians.
Used to live on Venice Beach in the late 80s and was delighted to see that by 2015 gentrification had largely pushed the crack dealers out of the neighborhood. I guess somebody missed them.
