Discover the Shocking Contrasts of Downtown LA: Luxury Lofts with Huge Tax Savings, and Skid Row Tent Mansions for the Homeless!

It’s been a while since you’ve talked about it, but I’m worried about visiting LA this year. I don’t live in a city that big, I can’t really investigate it online, and I have no idea where it’s safe to hotel there. Where do you (did you? You may have moved on?) feel safe in the city? Where would you recommend to people visiting to stay? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to! You’re just one of the very few people I know that has lived there. Thank you, regardless of your answer, you didn’t have to read this at all❤️

hi! answering publicly in case anyone has advice they want to add :)

i'm a little worried this might come off as dismissive, but honestly i just don't find cities to be that dangerous. i've lived in LA for almost eight years, lived in another city for 3 years before that, and have visited about a dozen major cities outside of america

homeless people, by and large, aren't going to bother you. if you have a couple bucks to spare, give it with a smile and look them in the eye, and move on, or if you have nothing it's fine to say that you just don't have cash. if there's an encampment, which happens all over the city and just not on skid row, then they're definitely not going to bother you because they don't want to cause trouble and get kicked out of where they've managed to find a consistent place to sleep

the truth is if you get assaulted, statistically it's going to be by someone you know rather than a rando on the street. if you do get assaulted in LA by a stranger, it is WAY more likely to by an out of work background actor named josh who picks up shifts at a tiki bar than a homeless person or gang member

that being said, i actually have no idea what neighborhoods are considered dangerous in LA these days? i guess the flip side of finding nowhere in LA particularly dangerous is that it's all dangerous, but really you're more likely to get taken out jaywalking in dtla than anything else

as for locations, it's important to remember: los angeles is huge

it's more like a bunch of small towns next to one another than one cohesive city. the town i grew up in is smaller than the neighborhood i currently live in. if you're visiting, i HIGHLY suggest you rent a car. the public transport in LA is shit

i've only been to east LA to visit friends and eats burgers. both were enjoyable, but you're relatively far from the coast. they also built a stadium in inglewood, which multiple friends have informed me has fucked up the housing in the area, but i don't know if that would make it better or worse to stay in

anywhere in the valley is going to be cheaper than the city proper. north hollywood and studio city are good for that. the garland in noho is really cute and right next to the highway. sherman oaks and van nuys are decent too and they're literally right next to each other. i personally think encino is one large strip mall and so is panorama city, but panorama city at least has the saving grace of good filipino food

if you get to northridge, you've gone too far north. malibu beaches are definitely worth a visit, but it's such an expensive area and so far from everything that i wouldn't stay there

hollywood proper, venice beach, and santa monica are probably the most quintessentially LA places, but I would only stay in santa monica out of them. not for safety reasons, but because the other two are filled with tourists. which, i know you'll technically be a tourist, but still

koreatown has great food, but terrible parking. it's also a cheapish place to stay. downtown LA is something I avoid because it just reminds me of the financial district of every city i've ever been to. the dtla library and the last bookstore are the only things worth going there for, personally, and it's also a very expensive place to stay.

little tokyo is very cute and manages to feel separate from city while being surrounded by it. i admittedly only go to chinatown for bakery runs, but it's all delicious and vey beautiful, especially if you've never been to a chinatown in a major city before

west hollywood is expensive, and i wouldn't stay there myself, but it has great brunch places and devastating parking rules. the most expensive parking ticked i ever got was in weho. burbank is the land of animation studios and also porto's. it's a really cute area. beverly hills exists and taking a walk on melrose is fun but i wouldn't linger. again, not safety, just terrible vibes.

i know this probably seems like a lot but i've actually only listed the more popular neighborhoods that i'm personally familiar with. los angeles is HUGE.

i hope this helps somewhat! and sorry to anyone who's neighborhood i've disparaged T_T

#asks #moirail-mate #please don't destroy me for my LA opinions #i'm sure someone out there loves encino #oh! okay i will say the only decent place to get a steak and cheese in LA is in encino #so it has that

No more photos of Downtown LA I promise. What an amazing place. You have Skid Row next to the Jewellery District and all the old theatres next to all the modern buildings. #vintagesellersofinstagram #vintagehome #danishmodern #interiorstyling #interiorstylingideas #vintagehomestyle #stleonardsonsea #danishmoderndesign #antiquesdealersofinstagram #onthehighstreet #midcenturyfurniture #midcenturyhomedecor #ryeeastsussex #welovemidcentury #danishfurniture #danishmodernfurniture #midcenturydesignfurniture #midcenturyhome #midcentury #midcenturydesign #Hastings #lacentral #dtla #downtownla #waltdisneyconcerthall (at El Centro De Los Angeles ....aka Downtown!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHbh52JvKP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Layers of fear skidrow

Score one for the Grievance Panel, democracy, and the NC Charter. (105) electioneering, in the form of the Unite DTLA “Vote No” campaign. (104) that the DLANC Neighborhood Council Board endorsed the opponents of the proposed Skid Row NC and (103) opponents used City logos, including the LA City logo, EmpowerLA logo, NC logos, and other City department logos, in their campaign materials against the proposed Skid Row NC “In a shocking display that democracy can actually work, the Grievance Panel found in favor of all three of the grievances: First, amazingly, the Grievance Panel appeal filed by the Skid Row folks actually got a fair hearing: The same article also detailed the subterranean doings of Grayce Liu on behalf of Eric Garcetti, in her role as General Manager of DONE. The final tally included over 1600 votes cast, with Skid Row losing by a mere 62 votes.” Unsurprisingly, the Skid Row Formation Committee lost its bid in an amazingly close election, considering the forces lined up against them. You have to wonder how many homeless voters had access to any of this tech – as opposed to their opponents with their iPhones, social media chops, and political clout. When all of this didn’t work, Jose Huizar himself slammed through online voting just for this election, with about two weeks to go before the vote. “He sent a 10-page letter to BONC (as well as to Garcetti, Feuer, Huizar, Grayce Liu and DONE’s City Attorney, Darrren Matrinez.) You can find a link to his letter in an article here. I mention all of this to help folks understand the implications of the fact that ex-City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, back in 2017, represented the anti-Skid Row front group, United Downtown aka Unite DTLA, as: We also advise governments and public sector bodies.” They include more than half of the Fortune 250 and nearly half of the FTSE 350 or their subsidiaries. Our clients range from multinational, Global 1000, and Fortune 500 enterprises to emerging companies developing industry-leading technologies. We deliver consistent services across our platform of practices and sectors in all matters we undertake. We achieve this through practical and innovative legal solutions that help our clients succeed. We strive to be the leading global business law firm by delivering quality and value to our clients. “DLA Piper is a global law firm with lawyers located in more than 40 countries throughout the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific, positioning us to help clients with their legal needs around the world. I mention this since their reach is huge: These days, Rocky is a Superlawyer for DLA Piper, the giant developer law firm. I think he was about the last genuine lawyer in that role. In January 2017, DONE (Department of Neighborhood Empowerment) sent the formation committee the approval and a notice calling for an election, with the unprecedented language that their election “may also include online voting.” We already knew the establishment of DLANC and HCNC (Historic Cultural Neighborhood Council) were well funded to take them out when their front group, United Downtown, or Unite DTLA, was represented by former City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo’s law firm.”įor those who don’t remember Rocky Delgadillo, he was the LA City Attorney from 2001 to 2009, when he was finally termed out. As early as 2014, the Skid Row NC Formation Committee was created to try and get out of the DLANC, as downtown real estate values soared and the plight of the homeless tanked. “Most of us who were around when the Neighborhood Councils were first formed knew how DLANC (the Downtown NC) was set up was to “manage” Skid Row. Since few Angelenos ever paid any attention to this slimy fix, here’s some background I wrote back in 2017 about the real stakes at play in the election: If you want to know how rotten this whole deal was, just read on. If he can’t do that, then take note of what that tells us a Feuer administration would look like. It’s a remedy for all the City-sponsored election illegalities, and there is little practical impact on the City of Los Angeles as a whole. It doesn’t cost much in terms of money if he simply decides to find in favor of certifying the Skid Row NC Formation Committee as a Neighborhood Council. My thought is that if Mike Feuer wants to have any legitimacy at all in the race for Mayor in 2022, he should fix the fix on Skid Row’s election, which is still tied up in a hostile court fight. I don’t know why this is OK for the Neighborhood Council system, when it is patently illegal for regular City Elections. It just happened in a Subdivision Election for Neighborhood Councils, instead of a regular election for our elected officials. EASTSIDER-If you really think about it, the Skid Row Neighborhood Council Formation Committee’s election in 2017 is actually a story about massive election fraud in Los Angeles.

DTLA Skid Row Unsanitary Tent City Spreading a Plage of Its Own

DTLA Skid Row Unsanitary Tent City Spreading a Plage of Its Own

The sight of the tents of the unhoused in DTLA is more than just unsightly. It is a red flag of worse things to come. Coronavirus is not the only plague LA needs to worry about all sorts of rare and uncommon 3rd world maladies are being spread among the unhoused across Los Angeles. An LA Police detective was diagnosed with typhoid fever — a rare illness usually spread through contaminated water…
