@archinect @ollywainwright Thank you @archinect. Great title for
the article.

[Frances Anderton @FrancesAnderton]

@ollywainwright Thank you so much Olly. It was great to show you some treasures of LA multifamily housing past and present. But we only scratched the surface! So many gems to unearth. Glad you are here to help do so, with your acute eye and pen.

[Frances Anderton @FrancesAnderton]

@AdamNMayer Many thanks for the props for Common Ground @AngelCityPress about L.A.'s multifamily housing heritage. @ollywainwright says it shows "density is not something to be scared of, but is fertile ground for architectural invention, creating more neighborly, walkable communities." Yes!

@AlexFischCC Bravo Alex. Steering the ocean liner of the 20th century sub-urbanist Southland into an urbanist 21st C requires leaders with strong heads and stomachs (for the fight). You are one.

[Frances Anderton @FrancesAnderton]

@AlexFischCC Go Alex! Your smarts, passion and courage are inspiring.

[Frances Anderton @FrancesAnderton]

@AngelCityPress I look forward to joining you Sian Winship and SAH for today's conversation about LA's under-appreciated multifamily housing and the people that make it and live in it.

[Frances Anderton @FrancesAnderton]

Music from moss? A space ship that yields no e-waste? Hear about these concepts + more when @juliacjuliac, @lilyscoutk, Elizabeth Corr @NRDC + @TarunTspoon talk about art whose medium transmits a message. At Geffen @MOCAlosangeles, 11/5, 3pm. Deets here: https://t.co/ITdZa4xRul

@AlexFischCC @villagewellcc Thank you so much @AlexFischCC for reading Common Ground (the entire book!) and challenging me with your illuminating questions about multifamily housing. The Carey McWilliams comparison was the hugest honor.

[Frances Anderton @FrancesAnderton]

@AngelCityPress @AlexFischCC @villagewellcc Had a great conversation with @AlexFischCC and was truly honored to have Common Ground compared to LA writings by Carey McWilliams. Thank you Alex, @villagewellcc and @PRbyJB and the audience for the welcome.

[Frances Anderton @FrancesAnderton]

@AngelCityPress @AlexFischCC @villagewellcc I very much look forward to a lively conversation with @AlexFischCC about the vital topic of housing and what makes a great "home" in Los Angeles.

[Frances Anderton @FrancesAnderton]

@ProtoHologram @ChristiesInc @theNuzzy @MOCAlosangeles Dear Proto, thank you for kicking off "Art for Earth's Sake" @MOCAlosangeles with such pizzazz! There'll be more on art+tech's response to carbon excess when @GlennKaino, @nbakercahill and "visiting expert on the absurd" @Lucy2Scribbles take to the stage at MOCA Grand. 5pm today!

@ebourlier Those dinners helped inspire the book. Thank you so much for this post Emmanuelle and brava for your new podcast @five_places. Hope some of LA's fab multifamily bldgs will make the cut!

@CindyOlnick @AngelCityPress Thank you Cindy! CG includes work by today's top architects + it is full of stories from people about living a different kind of ideal life in L.A. Less equity, yes, but more company.
