Okay, here’s where it gets super fun! If you or your parents own a historic loft that’s worth like a million dollars—which is like buying a gazillion ice creams 🍦—you could save a lot of moolah every year. That’s money you can use for more ice cream, or maybe even a new Xbox! 🎮💵

And There’s More! 🌟

If you’re a landlord (that’s someone who owns the building and lets other people live there), you can have really neat things for your renters and still not charge them a ton of money. And if you’re a renter, you get to live in a super cool place that’s like a museum you can actually touch! 🖼️🎨

Awesome for Investors, Too! 💼

Downtown Los Angeles Loft Residents Take a Stand | Community Voices Heard: First and Broadway Park to Remain a Park, DLANC Votes Against Homeless Housing Proposal

REAL ESTATE NEWS – A community initiative led by residents of the Douglas, Higgins, and Pan American lofts have successfully preserved the planned park at First and Broadway (FAB) in Downtown Los Angeles.

Residents came out in numbers last night to voice their opposition to Councilmember Kevin DeLeon’s motion to convert the planned FAB park into “temporary” homeless housing. The Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council (DLANC) voted against supporting the motion, citing the various arguments presented by the community. Loft residents of the Douglas Building, Pan American Building and Higgins Building were there to oppose the planned homeless encampment.

A Unified Effort

Scott Mahoy, who was integral in coordinating the opposition, thanked community members Anita, Deborah, and Allen for speaking eloquently against the proposal. Mahoy acknowledged the collective effort, stating, “It helped that we had a number of us there. Numbers matter.”

Key Arguments Presented

  1. The Need for Parks: Los Angeles ranks 80th in the top 100 most populated U.S. cities for park systems, according to The Trust for Public Land. Advocates stressed the importance of expanding L.A.’s park footprint.
  2. Safety Concerns for Children: Residents pointed out that the proposed housing site is directly adjacent to a very active playground, raising concerns about children’s safety, particularly given the lenient drug policies adopted in L.A.’s temporary homeless developments.
  3. Wasteful Spending: Opponents of the motion cited the millions already spent in planning the FAB park, arguing that another expensive, “temporary” development was wasteful and ill-conceived.
  4. Lack of Support from the Homeless Community: Several homeless individuals and service providers, including DLANC’s own homeless resident director, Rick Young, also opposed the project, stating they would not utilize such housing.
  5. Alternative Solutions: L.A. City Controller Mike Galperin has identified 26 locations across the city totaling 1.7 million square feet that could be more appropriate for homeless housing.

Next Steps

Community members are encouraged to continue their advocacy through calls and emails to Mayor Karen Bass and city council members. As of now, the planned park at First and Broadway will continue to be developed as a community green space, with its original design to be carried out by the award-winning architecture firm Studio MLA.
