» What Kind of Los Angeles Do We Want?
Bill Boyarski in the Jewish Journal:
“Is there still room for apartments and homes for garment workers, gardeners, waiters, cooks, bus drivers, teachers, health care providers and social workers, for the millions of people who are not rich? Can they find places to live in a Hollywood suddenly restored as a playground and living space for the affluent? Will there be room for them in the new downtown aimed at fulfilling the builders’ dreams of a high-rise city extending to USC?”A quote from hipster city councilman Eric Garcetti rightly points out that affordable housing is a big-picture issue—it’s directly related to things like traffic and homelessness.
