California homeless residents desperately need housing. We can quickly build that by ramping up the #AdaptiveReuse of existing buildings, such as hotels and vacant government properties. Adaptive reuse works! (1/2) ktvu.com/news/homeless-…

@PplsCityCouncil @ALforLA2022 how does it take him that long to open the camera app

Will Smith owes Chris Rock a huge apology. There is no excuse for what he did. He’s lucky Chris is not filing assault charges. The excuses he made tonight were bullshit.

@whyami_staying @RapShmeat @i4bear @jasminefishy_ @bubbaprog Has the world gone so soft that people can’t take a joke anymore? And it’s alopecia, not cancer.

@classicallyabby I’ll choose the one who actually did something for people with AIDS. (Hint: not Nancy.)

@LAPublicLibrary This is a pandemic adaptation that needs to stick around!

Our Richard Schave calls in expressing grave concern about the unpermitted gutting of the Pig n Whistle restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard, a National Register contributor. And reminds Ken Bernstein he’s always available to give web framework feedback.

Commissioner Gail Kennard urges OHR to maintain virtual community participation in CHC hearings once the meetings return to in-person status at City Hall. Ken Bernstein says they’re looking into hybrid meeting options. So important! Sister Corita landmarking got int’l attention.

@steftheboy @AnnaScottJourno Many empty apartments, houses not so much. 6 of DTLA's massive apt complexes were developed by Geoffrey Palmer & appear to be 60% unoccupied. Palmer is an opponent of mandatory affordable housing requirements, and IMO should be forced to offer subsidized housing for the homeless.

Selecting the right tree for the site makes the city more delightful. Thank you, anonymous cypress planter of years ago. #mydayinla #esotouricroadtrip #landscapedesign

An unfortunate fence shields a grand Victorian old lady's skirts from the public view. #mydayinla #esotouricroadtrip

Hoping that the next generation of automobiles will be more interesting than the generic seeds and capsules on the road today. #mydayinla #esotouricroadtrip

Eclectic plantings in the Bonnie Brae Historic District, a fantastic block that sadly features on one of our true crime tours. You learn to take the heartbreak with the beauty when you study old L.A. #mydayinla #esotouricroadtrip

The porch shadows! Imagine what the shadows were like on Bunker Hill before politicians destroyed that beautiful neighborhood, weep, then fight even harder to save the landmarks we've still got. #mydayinla #esotouricroadtrip #thisplacematters #historicpreservation #victorian

Kind of worried about this bookend home in the Bonnie Brae Historic District. Windows boarded up and the lawn is running wild. But the restoration minded neighbors are watching. #mydayinla #esotouricroadtrip

A block of blight that could house hundreds. Stalled Bricks Wyndam hotel at 1543 W Olympic declared a public nuisance in 2019, has $114K Building & Safety barricading lien, listed for $40M. Is eminent domain the answer? #mydayinla #esotouricroadtrip

Kent Twitchell's first great photorealistic mural was of Steve McQueen floating on a Pico-Union Victorian. It was lost for a time, then found, and what a joy to have the king of cool back in town. #mydayinla #esotouricroadtrip #mural
