Affordable housing is the industry darling. This is where it should go. Dense, zero parked (with no apologies) affordable housing. Every service, food, transit, and form of entertainment at your tenants’ doorstep. The Ventura View Development Site’s potential truly embodies Los Angeles’s (and the San Fernando Valley’s) transition to a proper urban metropolis. Ventura View is not the dreaded and ill-conceived “South LA ED-1” project so many now connotate as the “ED-1 project”. Ventura View represents an elevated application scenario for the policy. This is where it works. This is where the City wants it to happen. In rare instances there is a meeting of the minds between economic realities and City policy…this could be such an example of that phenomena.
