It would be ridiculous to pronounce Sepulveda, La Cienega, or another spanish street name with some kind of dumbed down Americanized accent. I understand that many people do it, but that doesn't make it correct. Gracias.

They should strive for more urbanization including less parking and more integration of the subway facilities rather than 7,000 parking stalls. <br /><br />We all know there will always be changes, but the initial plan directs the change.
