REVOLTIN’ DEVELOPMENTS
As you will see by the articles on recent
developments in Venice, the City of Los Angeles at the instigation of
speculators and developers are flouting the mandate of the Coastal Commission
and Venice residents for affordable housing and access to the beach.
Los Angeles and the speculators are
determined to shove “highest and best use” philosophy up the canals
and narrow walkways and the low rise streetscape of Venice.
The almost automatic approval of the
L.A. Planning Commission to consolidate lots in Oakwood, the Silver Strand,
etc., almost guarantee mansionization and high end high-rise high price
tenements that would effectively block all but the most affluent of Angelinos
from enjoying the beach that all L.A. residents pay taxes
for.
Do you see a pattern
here?
