Furthermore, as David mentioned already, the closed off nature of this development is in stark contrast to the existing neighborhoods so these homes will not blend in with the area. It would have been better had the developed went with a grid like street and choose a more contemporary design and varied elevation. irwinchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09175879445715413526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857633056849153171.post-80804905378137872712014-08-04T20:30:40.729-07:002014-08-04T20:30:40.729-07:00Five bedrooms?!

And as for the architecture - please tell me there are no any design restrictions so they can be torn down or rebuilt by real architects in the near future by the larger families who will doubtless buy them with the intention of expanding them.

This land is right nearby to rapidly developing Culver City. Even townhouses arranged on a grid would have been better! This is exactly the sort of short-sighted provincial thinking about land use that has kept LA from urbanizing properly. Total waste. And the actual home designs are hokey as all get-out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857633056849153171.post-43214943164611217902014-08-04T16:23:16.163-07:002014-08-04T16:23:16.163-07:00Also in agreement.

The area is 90% SFR with a narrow strip of duplexes on Guthrie. They really should have added some affordable housing and maybe some multi family closer to Fairfax Ave. This is a great site for families with excellent access to DTLA, Hollywood and the Westside. It is also just a couple of blocks from LACES and Crescent Heights Elementary, which are two excellent public schools, which rarely said in the City of LA.

There aren't suburban-style yards, and considering that it's an R1-1 area, they couldn't build anything bigger than this without some serious variances and General Plan amendments. If LA isn't going to move away from SFRs completely, at least it should get some big 4BRs--not the family-unfriendly bungalows that cover too much of the city. <br /><br />Considering that, according to the latest City Planning filings, several 20+ unit multifamily buildings and a hotel are planned in nearby Pico-Robertson, this isn't the end of the world.JMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828871198317566301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857633056849153171.post-23358079903422372872014-08-04T14:18:50.797-07:002014-08-04T14:18:50.797-07:00What an absolute joke.What an absolute joke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
