Wasn't the Da Vinci building being renovated? And are you suggesting it was burned for real estate purposes? - Mop Feb 5, 10:52 1
- The Da Vinci was new, not a reno. I'll say nothing more -- nm - con_carne Feb 5, 10:57
I see the May Co. building is just up the block from the landmark Eastern building. What's the state of that building? -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 10:50 7
- The Eastern is lovely and in the heart of this development hullabaloo. It has upscale lofts now, I believe -- nm - con_carne Feb 5, 10:53 6
  - Where's the Bradbury in relation to these buildings? -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 10:56 5
    - Same street, walking distance. The street is called Broadway - con_carne Feb 5, 11:01 4
      - Looking at it all on a map... - Mop Feb 5, 11:05 3
        
        I agree with everything you say. I'll add that, while gentrification is bad, this DTLA stuff is mostly replacing nothing with something - con_carne Feb 5, 11:17 2
        
        Was it UCLA that did that study on the earthquake safety of buildings in L.A.? I wonder what it has to say about these "good bones". -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 11:22 1
        
        Well the good thing about these buildings is they tend to be steel reinforced. The most at risk buildings are unreinforced brick or concrete - con_carne Feb 5, 11:38
