Ktown residents fighting for sustainable urban development, more green spaces, more affordable housing and improving the quality of life in our neighborhood.
@Koreatown tell the big companies who are building luxury apartments, knocking down trees and planting replacement trees on the roof! Comment during @WCKNC_LA PLUM or Sustainability meetings.
One of the worst things about planning post-Suburban Experiment is that we've largely turned over the task of designing and providing public space to private developers. The result is a public realm that is fragmented, incoherent, and generally crappy. https://t.co/VK7X4mbEjt
Behind Standard Parking Lot on Wilshire between Irolo and Mariposa. Do you think Jamison Properties will replace what little greenery we're in these planters??#weneedparks@KtownforAll @RealJamiePenn @hoffbeatenpath@nicole_d14
I don't mean this as a slight against the developers bc I'm sure the costs are mostly outside their control, but these are over $650k per unit. Without subsidies, you'd have to rent the units (mostly studios!) for over $3,500 per month just to break even! This isn't sustainable.
TOMORROW appellant fee hike item is being heard by whole City Council! There's a good chance they'll remove that part from the recommendation, but public comment is needed to apply pressure. It's Item 13. Here is a link to the agenda: https://t.co/mDX41OoUQe
We're excited to see what the new board members will bring! We will be swearing in new members, elect new exec officers, appoint committee chairs, appoint liaisons, and date selections for committees. So much to talk about for what the Ktown NC will hold for the next 2 years.
Today we helped many more tenants fill out the rental assistance application. The app is horrible for middle-income tenants— for the poorest it’s a nightmare. You need an email address, reliable internet access, all kinds of documents.
