Gentle reader, Very few people watched the livestreamed program Public Safety in L.A. with Mayor Karen Bass: A KNX News Town Hall on April 16, the day after her State of the City address at City Hall; as of this morning, the YouTube video has less than 500 views.
Should Mayor Bass need expert advise on DTLA development, she can call on former Council Member Jose Huizar. An April 30, 2024 surrender date to begin a 13 year federal sentence did not mesh well with Huizar's new goals and plans. Judge Walter agrees. Check back around 9/15/2024 for the next update on keeping Jose Huizar out of prison indefinitely.
Folks envisioning the residential conversion of massive high rise office buildings need a quick injection of reality. The typical large floor plates are not readily adaptable to the smaller apartments needed in the city, the buildings are very expensive to operate. Also a change of use from office to residential usually requires an upgrade to the current residential (architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, life safety, energy and other) codes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_zFIg8N9Rw
