Expo, and the Massive dense 638 unit Casden WLA Develoment? It's just being realized by suburbanites that their Prop 30 tax dollars are not going to their…"
barney desimone commented on Orli Belman's blog post CA Supreme Court Set to Hear Neighbors for Smart Rail Lawsuit on May 7"Absolutely not, John. Your non sequitur only. Do not ascribe thoughts to others just because they occur in your mind. If they originate there, you own them. Intellectual violence is not acceptable either. Let's keep the argument to the original…"
barney desimone commented on Orli Belman's blog post CA Supreme Court Set to Hear Neighbors for Smart Rail Lawsuit on May 7"Your characterization, John. Let's make that clear. Shall we try and keep this discussion civil?"
barney desimone commented on Orli Belman's blog post CA Supreme Court Set to Hear Neighbors for Smart Rail Lawsuit on May 7"The traffic is already terrible on Overland for one thing. Then there's the Overland Av school right next to the tracks and the station a block away on Westwood. Who will be stepping off of that train? WIll the kids be endangered? The L A Metro…"
barney desimone commented on barney desimone's blog post Casden Development Pico and Sepulveda"I had read that the plan was for 500+ units and after community input it went up to 638. There's a long history of poor outreach for local input all over L.A and especially in WLA. I can't think of one major development that has been…"
Barbara Broide commented on barney desimone's blog post Casden Development Pico and Sepulveda"The project is just TOOOO big and high for this area. The size, height and density are completely out of scale with the community. In short, it needs to go back to the drawing board. Everyone knows it. Casden will push as…"
barney desimone commented on barney desimone's blog post Casden Development Pico and Sepulveda"The whole concept is to kill the car and force people to walk or bike. They would prefer people not leave the building if possible. When the HOA's fought the Expo crossings at grade on Overland and Westwood that should have been a message.…"
Barbara Broide commented on barney desimone's blog post Casden Development Pico and Sepulveda"The Casden project is completely out of scale with the neighborhood and requires a zone change, City General Plan change AND a community plan change. They also need to gain access across the EXPO right-of-way in order to have enough access,…"
barney desimone commented on barney desimone's blog post Casden Development Pico and Sepulveda"I have no doubt that it will go through. The neighborhood Councils with good financial backing fought the Expo Line and lost. Once that happened all of the rest follows as a matter of course. These giant developments at the station sites are…"

barney desimone commented on Orli Belman's blog post A Plea For a Westside Transportation/Land Use Plan" Where is all of the giant mixed use development along new mass transit lines, walkable, bikeable communities concepts coming from? Study this. We fit the profile to a T. L.A. County is signed onto ICLEI. This has been in the works…"
barney desimone commented on Calla Wiemer's blog post Bike Lane Draft EIR Goes to Public Hearing"I've been watching these community meetings for decades. Back when Zev came out for a meeting at the Scouting/and Community room next to Overland Av School to talk about the new mall. My mother and many neighbors were there. The community was…"
barney desimone commented on Calla Wiemer's blog post Westside Neighborhood Council Discusses Bike Lanes for Westwood Blvd"The use of classic Collectivist action and using the word "cadre" brought that comment not the fact that bikes are involved although the push for bikes is integral to the Agenda 21 model for urban densification. I'm not baffled…"
