My two cents.

Wait. What does an office block in the Arts district have to do with housing ?
I've never said I was against any housing in any form, in any post
EVER..... As a matter of fact I've been neutral on all housing that's been built in this city, besides my
LACK of
DENSITY arguments.
I accept the 7 story buildings. I accept the towers sitting on podiums and even sometimes outright support them even when everybody else here is against them.
When there was a lone Victorian house sitting on a huge lot of land that was about to be torn down for more housing, I was literally the only one on here to say move it or lose it...... even when everyone else said "keep it", "its historical", blah blah.
I understand what you're saying, but you prematurely used the wrong person to get your point across. You got a few applauds, but I'm surprised since most of those people know where I stand on the issues and arguing
AGAINST housing isn't one of them.
Now arguing against odd building design choices for
office space, which I was doing and everyone else on here does, is free game..... especially since at the moment LA really isn't in short supply of office space.
