On a few blocks between S. Barrington Avenue and Bundy Drive, north of Olympic Blvd. the streets are dotted with “light industrial” buildings that most likely manufacture digital media.
It’s a flat place, with the oldest buildings dating back to WWII, many parking structures, and a generous amount of architecture, in the Eccentric Faddish style which encompasses everything from steel to wood to concrete and whose only commonality is expensiveness in land, material, rents and value to landowners and tax assessors.
Despite the liberal feeling of the district, everything is guarded, policed, and patrolled. We walked past a building, on the public sidewalk, and a robotic voice ominously announced: “You are being video recorded!”
There are still a few RVs housing unhoused people.
And everywhere there are asphalt parking lots.
You will look in vain for any park, organic garden, or affordable housing. Is this the best we can do? As long as the streets are clean it seems so.
