Lawsuit Leaves EE in LimboBy Sarah FavotLedger Contributing Writer

Voters will determine the fate of Measure EE, a school funding ballot measure expect-ed to generate an estimated $500 million per year for Los Angeles Unified School Dis-trict (LAUSD), if approved by two-thirds of voters, in a June 4th special election—unless a pending lawsuit prevents the ballots from being counted.

The funding would come from a proposed parcel tax of 16 cents per square foot for all structures on residential and commercial properties for the next 12 years—the owner of a 1,500 square-foot home would pay an additional $240 in property taxes each year, for example—with exceptions for seniors and people with certain disabilities.

A previous version of the measure would have imposed

Atwater Loses a Mural, Gains a BridgeBy Carl Robinette, Ledger Contributing Writer

ATWATER VILLAGE—An iconic 30-foot by 40-foot mural on the Los Angeles River, depicting a red trolley car, was recently demolished to make way for a new pedes-trian and cycling bridge, de-spite previous plans to keep the mural intact.

The mural was commis-

sioned in 2005 by community activist group, Friends of At-water Village (FAV), to attract residents to the river and pre-serve the cultural significance of the all-but forgotten “Red Car” trolley system that once connected Los Angeles neigh-borhoods.

Officials Explore Fee Hikes Following Illegal Yolk DemoBy Daniel Langhorne, Ledger Contributing Writer

SILVER LAKE—The recent unpermitted demolition of a Streamline Moderne store-front on Silver Lake Boulevard was condemned in May by local elected officials and ar-chitecture fans, sparking a po-tential hike in fines for rogue property owners.

The 1937 building de-

signed by architect William Kessling at 1626 N. Silver Lake Blvd. was formerly home to Yolk, a clothing and gift store, before the store was un-ceremoniously pushed out last December by the building’s new landlord, Beverly Hills jeweler Anup Jogani.

More Bad Luck for Good LuckBy Erin Hickey PinheiroLedger Contributing Writer

LOS FELIZ—Less than a month after plans for a bou-tique hotel forced the sudden closure of longtime Hillhurst Avenue fixture Good Luck Bar, the former neighborhood hangout had another unex-pected shock when the bar’s iconic neon sign was stolen May 19th.

According to Good Luck Bar General Manager Da-vid Granger, the bar’s owners first became aware of the theft when a longtime customer snapped a photo of the sign being removed and posted it on social media.

Sunset’s Housing SurgeBy Kathy A. McDonald and Allison B. Cohen

The city’s push for in-creased density and housing will see thousands of new resi-dents calling Sunset Boule-vard home.

Because the Eastside’s stretch of Sunset Boulevard is a transit hub with several bus lines and two Metro sta-tions—one at Vermont Av-enue and Sunset and the other a mile away in Chinatown—developers have been awarded additional square footage, increased heights, reduced setbacks and fewer parking requirements via the city’s Transit Oriented Communi-ties (TOC) Affordable Hous-ing Incentive Program.

ECHO PARK

Not since 1924, when Cal-vin Coolidge was President, George E. Cryer was mayor and three-story mixed-use Jensen’s Recreation Center—which still stands today—first opened has Sunset Boulevard through Echo Park seen the addition of multi-story resi-dential buildings.

Corrections & AmplificationsThe story “SLNC Troubles: Now an Election Recall” in our May 2019 print edition included statements from a former Silver Lake Neighborhood Council boardmember indicating newly elected boardmember Sarah Ullman was ineligible to serve on the board per the council’s bylaws because the community organization she belongs to does not have a physical address.

However, with its determination of Ullman’s eligibility, the Dept. of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE)—the city agency that oversees neighborhood councils—in consultation with the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office, disagreed saying the council needed to strike its definition of what defines a community organization from its bylaws.

Early Local “Polling” on 2020 Presidential RaceBy Michael Darling, Ledger Contributing Writer

There are just over 500 days until the 2020 presidential election. Do you know who you’re supporting and why?

“Yes, I’m sup-porting whoev-er’s the most electable be-sides Trump. My preference

would be Elizabeth Warren, but she probably won’t get the nomination, so probably Biden because half the coun-try’s racist, so an old white guy doesn’t scare them. I don’t agree with his climate change policy, but he’s better than Trump, who’s setting everything back 50 years.” – Jason S., outside Skylight Books on Vermont

“I will say, I don’t have a pick, but I’m most interested in someone with a progres-

sive economic policy, someone like Sanders or Warren. My motto has been ‘policy not personality.’ I’m getting sick of the lifestyle-based, not policy-based coverage.” – Laura P., outside Honeybee on Ver-mont

“Yes, I’m sup-porting Bernie Sanders. He’s not only the most progres-sive candidate

on the ballot, but he’s been straight on his values his whole career and is dedicated to so-cial justice. He checks all of my values and he’s lifting up women, people of color and has a proven progressive re-cord.” – Emily F., outside Honeybee on Vermont

“Well, I’m prob-ably going to support… there are what, 23 people running? I’m probably

going with Biden because of his experience and he seems like a decent guy. Basically anyone but Trump, though.” – Sylvia T., outside the Los Feliz Theatre on Vermont

“I don’t know who I’m sup-porting yet. I’d like to hear what everybody has to say. I can

definitely say it won’t be a Re-publican.” – Brian M., out-side the Los Feliz Theatre on Vermont

“I’m supporting Pete Buttigieg. He’s honest, clean, pure. I hope he wins. I don’t know if he

would win because of his youth. I like Biden, but Mayor Pete, I’m impressed every time he speaks. He speaks seven languages and served in the military.” – Bruce R., outside Skylight Books on Vermont

“I will probably vote for Biden. He’s probably not that popu-lar in this neighborhood,

but I think he has the best chance of winning.” – Ken L., outside Sumi’s on Vermont

“I’m still kind of seeing how things shake out before I pick anyone. It’s too early.” – Nile S.,

outside The Dresden on Ver-mont

“I don’t know yet, I need to do more research. There are more candidates than ever before in

history. I think I need to do a lot of homework first. There are a few top contenders, I think it’s going to be between Pete and Kamala.” – Juan T., outside The Dresden on Ver-mont

“I don’t know yet, but Butti-gieg is intrigu-ing. Sanders and Harris are also possibili-

ties.” – Lysette R., outside The Dresden on Vermont

Following community up-roar about the demolition, Los Angeles City Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell requested that city staff prepare a report on ex-isting fines for building code vi-olations—including unpermit-ted demolitions such as the one at Yolk—legal restrictions on increasing these fines, the feasi-bility of new fees for individuals who repeat the same building code violations, and potentially withholding occupancy per-mits for chronic violators.

“The new owner of 1626 Silver Lake Blvd. tore down most of the vintage Streamline Moderne structure in blatant disregard of the community, its history, and in outright ig-norance of how important ar-chitecture and preservation is in Los Angeles,” O’Farrell said in a statement.

O’Farrell added that he plans to pursue all possible op-tions for preventing illegal de-molition in the future.

According to property re-cords, Jogani purchased the Sil-ver Lake Boulevard property in May 2018 for $1.4 million.

In September, Jogani’s ar-chitect submitted an applica-tion to the Los Angeles Dept. of Building and Safety to demol-ish a garage behind the store. Several months later he submit-ted plans for a four-story addi-tion to the existing building.

Jogani did not respond to a call to his jewelry store re-questing comment.

However, in a May 2019 in-terview with Los Angeles Maga-zine, Jogani said the unpermit-

ted demolition was an error. Historic preservationists

have said they are devastated by the loss of the Moderne Streamline building, partially because of its connection to structural engineer Eugene D. Birnbaum, who is credited with designing many homes, high-rise buildings, restau-rants, and bridges in Southern California.

According to Silver Lake Neighborhood Council Ur-ban Design and Preservation Committee Co-Chair Scott Plante, the council will soon consider signing a letter that officially protests the build-ing’s demolition.

“We have a really good record of responsible develop-ers, builders, and applicants,” Plante said. “It seems like this developer didn’t care about what was happening at its own property.”

Plante pointed to the 2011 demolition of the pioneering gay bookstore, A Different Light, at Santa Monica and Sunset boulevards as another recent example of a developer bulldozing a piece of Silver Lake’s heritage. He said it’s important to preserve historic structures to safeguard a com-munity’s continuity.

“Not all buildings are worth saving but many build-ings are,” Plante said. “They just reinforce that we are a unique community. They form a back-drop for our community.”

Yolk employee Sarah Din-gle said the past year has been full of headaches since Jogani announced last summer that

he planned to demolish the building’s garage.

According to Dingle, she and her manager were given two days’ notice to condense inventory into the front half of the store.

For three weeks they coughed up dust from the construction, she said.

“You’ll drink water and [the dust] just doesn’t go down,” said Dingle.

Dingle said she enjoyed working in an old building be-cause of the small discoveries she made, including a stack of 1960s-era architectural draw-ings in the garage left from when the building was Birn-baum’s office. She found other architectural drawings in a con-crete vault behind a thick metal door in the back of the building.

She’s even held onto the Art Deco brass doorknob since Yolk moved to its new location in Sunset Junction.

Dingle said she hopes that city leaders who learn about her former store’s demolition will be motivated to raise the fines on property owners be-cause the existing ones, she said, are not high enough to deter rule breakers.

As for Jogani’s statements to the press that the demolition was a result of a miscommuni-cation between his architect and contractor, Dingle said that doesn’t match up with the information he shared with her during his visits to Yolk.

“It’s really sad that it had to happen,” Dingle said. “Any-thing from that era is what made L.A.’s Hollywood heyday.”

Spring Cleaning: LFNC Takes on Trash Pickup After City Program FizzlesBy Chiara Mingione, Ledger Contributing Writer

LOS FELIZ—The Los Fe-liz Neighborhood Council (LFNC) received an award May 18th from the Los An-geles Dept. of Public Works, recognizing the council’s ef-forts to beautify the neighbor-hood—including by initiat-ing a new series of hourlong monthly community cleanup sessions.

The LFNC conducted their first such cleanup May 4th, focusing on the area sur-rounding Vermont Avenue’s post office—a longtime source of blight in the neighbor-hood, which several residents and community leaders had identified as a top priority for cleanup.

“The post office has been a magnet for trash for years, which is odd considering how lovely the surrounding area is,” said five-year Los Feliz res-ident Ian Gunn. “It’s so nice to have a great walking commu-nity with a post office, restau-rants, and businesses. I’m glad that issues like this are getting addressed before it becomes a larger problem.”

According to LFNC Envi-ronmental Affairs Committee Co-Chair Debra Matlock, the

council organized the recur-ring cleanup as a response to requests from Los Feliz resi-dents after the city discontin-ued its Clean Streets Chal-lenge, which the LFNC had participated in annually.

According to Heather Johnson with the city’s Board of Public Works, the program was discontinued this year due to a lack of funding.

“For two years in a row, there was a cash grant prize for neighborhood councils

who participated in the Clean Streets Challenge. We didn’t have [the cleanup] this year because it was dependent on funding,” said Johnson.

But according to the LF-NC’s Matlock, she hopes the council’s new monthly initia-tive will achieve even better results than the city’s now de-funct annual cleanups, since they will occur more frequent-ly and require a smaller time commitment from volunteers.

“You can go home, show-

er and still make brunch with your friends [afterwards] and feel like you really did some-thing positive,” Matlock said.

The LFNC provided trash bags, gloves, rakes, and brooms to 23 volunteers, who collected a total of 27 bags of green waste and trash in just under an hour.

Matlock said she credits the high volunteer turnout to the LFNC’s extensive social media outreach promoting the event.

“Our social media outreach got us so many volunteers, in-cluding a professional gardener who brought all of his tools. Our senior lead LAPD officer came by to help pull weeds. A couple who were gardening enthusiasts brought pruning tools and expertise, and [one] resident … brought her own trash grabber. It was great to see everyone working together and making friends with each other through this shared expe-rience,” said Matlock.

And while Vermont Av-enue is looking much cleaner thanks to the volunteers’ ef-forts, according to Matlock, “the cleaning up part is only half of it.”

“Meeting random resi-dents walking by [during the cleanup], chatting with them about what we’re doing and how they can help next time is a big part of generating inter-est and enthusiasm for getting involved in your neighbor-hood,” said Matlock.

Future cleanups will take place on the first Saturday of each month. To volunteer or suggest which areas should be cleaned up next, contact envi-ronment@losfeliznc.org

Do You Have an Aging Plan?By Stephanie Vendig, Ledger Columnist

At some point in our lives most of

us will need assistance in one form or another.

As we became adults, we saw ourselves as independent, self-sufficient and the deter-miners of our own destiny.

But while that may have worked for a while, eventually the aging of our bodies forces a new viewpoint: we can’t do what we used to. Because of that, we may start to self-limit or avoid trying new skills or activities because we don’t feel we have the mental or physical energy to take them on.

But recognizing this as a normal and inevitable stage

of life means we can explore alternatives ahead of time and make choices that will ease the process. Making big decisions in a crisis is traumatic and scary, but doing a bit of home-work beforehand can help avoid the need for that.

When you plan for your aging, the two main consid-erations are whether you need to modify your living situation and how you will take care of everyday tasks.

Being realistic and clear-eyed about what assistance we need or may need enables us to continue to lead enjoyable and fulfilling lives despite our limitations.

Most of us do not want

to burden our grown children with unexpected care duties. To avoid this, we need to take an active part in planning for

the assistance we’ll need. Who will be our assis-

tants? It could be family—a spouse or grown children—or hired caregivers or compan-ions.

What form will that as-

sistance take? It might range from household maintenance to providing transportation to help with personal tasks such as cooking and bathing.

We need to identify the specific help we need as we go along and discuss with our

support system the best way to put that in place.

An important part of that discussion will be financial resources and the ability and willingness of family members to take on different roles. It’s

easier if open and honest con-versations about those things are up front.

The good news is that a third of adults 65 and older to-day may never need long term care support. That still leaves two thirds that will need at least some help though, and of those, many will need help for at least five years.

Good health habits and staying social and active can help our odds of staying in the top third. But life brings surprises and things we can’t control, and staying aware of these changes and being hon-est about our needs becomes ever more important.

So, plan ahead! And check out the websites Long-TermCare.gov and AARP/caregiving/basics for helpful information.

the tax only on “habitable” structures, but the language was changed in March—af-ter the measure had already received unanimous school board approval a month pri-or—by LAUSD Supt. Austin Beutner.

The change sparked out-rage from some business groups, who suggested the change was a cash grab and balked at the idea that parking structures, for example, could be taxed under the new language of the mea-sure. Such groups have formed a committee called “Vote No on Measure EE” opposing the measure.

But while the school board approved a resolution in May clarifying the tax will not apply to any parking areas, a May 7th lawsuit, filed by non-profit group the Howard Jar-vis Taxpayers’ Assoc. against the district and Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan, alleges the change nonetheless violated both California’s elec-tions policies and the state’s

Ralph M. Brown Act, which governs public meetings by elected bodies, since it was made after board approval.

The suit seeks an order to stop ballots from being count-

ed and prevent election results from being certified, on the grounds that the measure was not re-approved by the school board following the March language change.

“The difference between what was approved by the LAUSD Board and the lan-guage presented to voters is far more than some typographical error,” the Jarvis Assoc. said in a May statement.

Additionally, the associa-tion alleges, the change creates undue confusion for voters.

“At this point, it is not

even clear what Measure EE taxes,” the lawsuit reads. “No one really knows how much revenue the uncertain tax will generate. Millions will be wasted on an election that will

be invalidated if Measure EE is passed.”

The special election will cost the district $12.5 million, according to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s Office. It fol-lows a pair of special elections to fill the Board District 5 seat vacated by Ref Rodriguez af-ter a felony conviction. Those primary and general elections cost a total of $4.2 million.

Meanwhile, supporters of Measure EE—among them LAUSD’s teacher’s union, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti,

EE from page 1 and even some potential 2020 presidential candidates, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, former Vice President Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana—cite

the need for additional funds to hire “quality teachers;” re-duce class sizes; hire coun-selors, nurses and librarians; improve arts, music, science, math, preschool and voca-tional and career education programs; increase safety; and provide adequate instructional materials and support to dis-advantaged students, accord-ing to the text of the measure.

The money would also go to the city’s charter schools, which are publicly funded, but independently run.

If the measure doesn’t pass, officials say, funding cuts are inevitable.

“It’s really a simple choice,” said Yes on EE spokes-person and former Garcetti Communications Director Yusef Robb. “Is the status quo at LAUSD acceptable or not? And if you think it’s not, you need to vote for Measure EE to create change.”

A recent poll weighing public opinion on the measure among likely voters found that passage is unlikely if voter turnout is low, as is expected. Conversely, if voter turnout is high, the campaign would be “competitive,” the poll said.

The bridge, which broke ground in April, will be built on the previously abandoned piers where a rail bridge once carried the Red Car trolley line across the river. The con-crete piers have stood unused in the waterway since the rail line stopped operating in the 1950s, and the mural was painted on the side of one of the piers.

According to officials from FAV and the city’s Board of Public Works, planners had initially hoped to preserve and relocate the landmark mural, but were unable to due so due to logistical challenges.

“We would have loved to preserve [the mural],” said FAV boardmember Netty Carr. “Although it’s sad to lose it, sometimes you have to lose something to get something great for the neighborhood.”

Additionally, a nearby park known as the Red Car

River Park has also been per-manently closed to make way for bridge construction.

Despite some misgivings, FAV helped spearhead the bridge project, citing that a non-motorized river crossing benefits the community and is in keeping with the “tran-sit legacy” of the old trolley system.

In the absence of the mu-ral, FAV boardmembers said, red railing planned as part of the bridge design will pay homage to the Red Car line.

Once completed, the 430-foot long bridge will cross the river just downstream from the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge complex, connecting Sliver Lake and Atwater Village and connecting the Los Ange-les River Bike Path with the northbound sidewalk along Glendale Boulevard in Atwa-ter Village.

GOOD LUCK from page 1

Granger said, was that the new building owner had ordered

the sign’s removal.“I forwarded [the photo]

to the landlord and said, ‘We just want to confirm the sign is in a safe place,’ and they said, ‘That wasn’t us.’ That’s when I

realized the sign was stolen,” said Granger.

Because the bar’s secu-

rity cameras had been turned off a week prior to the theft, Granger took to social me-dia, reposting the customer’s photo and asking for infor-mation about the thieves. But

while tips have been trickling in, he said many people who had witnessed the sign being removed didn’t pay close at-tention to the details.

“Because we’d been closed for a few weeks, I’m sure people just assumed, ‘Oh, now they’re removing the sign,’” Granger said. “… There was no reason for them to take inventory of what they were seeing.”

According to Granger, while the cost to replace the sign is estimated at about $15,000, it is likely valueless to

the thieves at this point. “All the neon sign and

antique places in the city are keeping an eye out,” said Granger. “At this point the sign has become untouchable … I have no idea what they plan on doing with it.”

As for what Good Luck Bar had planned for the sign, Granger said the bar was in talks to reopen after hotel construction was completed—though it is unclear if that pos-sibility will come to fruition. Otherwise, Granger said, the

sign would have been donat-ed to Glendale’s Museum of Neon Art.

If the sign is returned, Granger said, the bar’s owners won’t press charges.

“We don’t really care who took it,” said Granger. “We just want it back.”

Additionally, building owner Brad Conroy, who filed a police report follow-ing the theft, said he is offer-ing a $2,000 reward for the sign’s return, “no questions asked.”

A former customer of Good Luck Bar snapped this photo of thieves stealing the bar’s iconic neon sign, which the bar posted to its Instagram account.

[LOS FELIZ NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL]

A Thank You and a WelcomeBy Jon Deutsch, LFNC President

In 1910, Teddy Roosevelt delivered his famous “Man in the Arena” speech, prais-ing those who would work to make the world a better place even in the face of adversity and criticism. Public service is never easy, even less so when its added (on a volunteer basis) to an already busy life.

In that spirit, I would like to thank the outgoing mem-

bers of the Los Feliz Neigh-borhood Council’s Governing Board for their service and dedication, and for the love they have shown our neigh-borhood.

Shelly Hirshon, Courtney Ballard, Cat Kim, Gina Isaac, Debra Matlock, Nello DiGi-andomenico, and Danny Co-hen have dedicated thousands of hours to improving Los Fe-

liz, and their work will be felt by our community for years to come.

Their accomplishments are too many to list here, but to highlight a few:

A new crosswalk on Hol-lywood Boulevard at Rodney Drive; dozens of new stop signs and curb cuts; education-al lectures and film screenings

[LOS FELIZ IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION]

Tracking Los Feliz TractsBy Lynne T. Jewell, Communications Co-Chair

Do you know what Los Feliz tract you live in?

Tracts in real estate termi-nology are legal descriptions of developments, not neighbor-hood names.

In the early development of Los Feliz, tracts were given names by the landowners, some quaint and charming, like the Mortimer’s East Hol-lywood Jewel and East Hol-lywood Cottage tracts. These days, tracts still exist, but un-like the early days when the flatlands of Los Feliz were be-ing developed, now numbers are most often used.

Most tract names origi-nated from developers. Real estate partners P.W. Croake and W.F. McCann put their names on the Croake & Mc-Cann’s Rosetta, Paul Place, Maubert and Gem of Hol-lywood tracts. Some of the businesses along Vermont Av-enue, such as Palermo’s Italian restaurant and the Los Feliz 3 theater, are located in the Gem of Hollywood tract.

One of the earliest tracts is the Lick Tract. Wealthy San Francisco businessman James Lick purchased a large chunk

of land in the original Rancho Los Feliz. His property later became part of Hollywood. Today, some Los Feliz houses can be found in the East Por-tion of the Lick Tract.

The Hillhurst Park Tract was the first tract above Los Feliz Boulevard. Real estate developer and founder of the Los Feliz Improvement As-soc. (LFIA), William Mead, purchased the land and built the Mead Estate. He later sold a parcel to Los Angeles Times publisher Harry Chan-dler, who named his mansion “Hillhurst.” The LFIA survey lists both historic homes in the Hillhurst Park Tract.

Across Los Feliz Boule-vard on Waverly Drive, radio and car pioneer Earl C. An-thony built his mansion on a seven-acre hill in the Ivanhoe Tract, dating back to 1888.

Walt Disney lived in the Mt. Hollywood Grandview Tract when he first came to Los Feliz in the ‘20s.

Department store mag-nate Arthur Letts named both his tract and estate Holmby. While his grand mansion and

[COUNCIL DISTRICT 4]

Rise in Hate a Call to ActionBy Los Angeles City Councilmember David Ryu

I knew that hate crimes were rising across the United States. I had watched in horror, along with the rest of the country, as hate marched down the streets of Charlottesville two sum-mers ago. I had even seen hate here in Council District 4.

I thought I was prepared for the hate crimes report that the Los Angeles Police De-partment (LAPD) sent to me and my colleagues on the Los Angeles City Council’s Public Safety Committee.

I thought I knew what I was in for: that we had a ris-ing trend of hate to address, but that Los Angeles’ open-ness and diversity insulated us from the national trends. I was wrong.

Seventeen percent. That’s how much hate crimes rose by in our city between 2016 and 2018. Seventeen percent also happens to be how much hate crimes rose last year across the United States, according to the FBI.

In two short years, hate crimes against African-Amer-

icans, LGBTQ individuals and the Jewish community in Los Angeles rose sharply. The number of hate crimes against trans Angelenos nearly tripled.

Hateful language has even reached Los Feliz, out-side an apartment on North Edgemont Street and scrawled across the Sikh Temple on Vermont Avenue.

This report was a wake up call, and a call to action. It is exactly why I co-introduced a motion to track and report on these hate crimes, and why I’ve been working with the LAPD, my colleagues on the Pub-lic Safety committee and the communities that have been facing this rising tide of hate to develop stronger and more proactive strategies to protect our vulnerable communities.

It was hard for me to un-derstand, at first, how Los An-geles, the city that welcomed my family and made my life possible, could be home to such a sharp rise in hate crimes. But I have realized

[U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES]

Securing Full Equality Under the Law for All AmericansBy Rep. Adam Schiff

 California has led the way

in extending equal rights to all LGBTQ individuals, includ-ing by being the first state to recognize same sex marriages. This month, the House of Representatives voted to, once again, follow California’s lead by protecting all LGBTQ Americans from discrimina-tion when they interview for a job, rent an apartment, apply for a loan, and much more.

Federal law already pro-hibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, and in most cases, disability, religion and sex. Noticeably absent from this list, however, are federal pro-tections against LGBTQ dis-crimination. Unfortunately, half of LGBTQ Americans currently live in states with no such legal protections, jeopar-dizing their jobs, housing, and educational and financial op-portunities—not to mention their safety and well-being.

The need for federal non-discrimination protections based on sexual orientation

and gender identity is clear. Nearly two-thirds of LGBTQ Americans have reported ex-periencing discrimination.

This month, the House of Representatives passed the Equality Act, bipartisan leg-islation that would amend the existing Civil Rights Act of 1964 to provide comprehen-sive federal non-discrimina-tion protections for LGBTQ people and explicitly include sexual orientation and gender identity.

These protections would extend to LGBTQ individuals in employment, housing, cred-it, education, public spaces and services, federally funded programs, and jury service, without undermining existing protections.

I was proud to vote yes on the Equality Act, because it would grant LGBTQ Ameri-cans full equality under the law, regardless of where they live. This is what every Ameri-can deserves and should ex-pect for themselves, their fam-ily and their children. 

The march towards full

equality for all LGBTQ in-dividuals has been steady, albeit much too slow. In the years since California led the nation on marriage equality, other states have joined the fight, and in 2015 the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land.

Now, it is time for Con-gress to step up and grant LG-BTQ Americans full equality under the law.

Since the founding of our nation, America has made small, incremental strides to extend equal rights and protections to all citizens. And while each step towards equality is often met with strong resistance, it has made our country a more perfect union. The Equality Act would extend the key pillars of fairness and justice under the landmark Civil Rights Act to all LGBTQ Ameri-cans, and its passage would send a strong message to mil-lions of LGBTQ individuals and allies that our country is united in protecting them from discrimination.

It’s the Next Best Thing to Being There!

Matterport. It’s not a ride at Disneyland, it’s a ride through each of my listings. Work with me and

you get cutting-edge, tech marketing, from the front door to the back door:

• Matterport “walk through the doll house” virtual tours—even in 3-D! Much more immersive than a mere video. See for yourself:

• Floor plans to assist a buyer’s mental move-in.

• A dedicated web site for each property—even for leases!

• Drone aerial shots for panoramic overviews.

• Stunningly-rendered, high-definition still photographs—some at twilight “magic hour”, too!

Some technochauvinistic real estate brokerages call themselves “tech” companies because their

data mining for seller leads is the secret sauce in their business model. If you’re a buyer or a seller, what good to you is aggressive lead generation and privacy intrusion? I believe a better real estate experience is all about better client service--including personal attention, not just technology itself.

gardens are long gone, there are still homes located in the Holmby Tract.

Some tracts have the same name as the street, such as Av-ocado, Cumberland, Green-wood, Loma Linda, Serrano and Winona.

One way to find your tract, whether named or num-bered, is to go the LFIA’s His-toric Property Survey (lfia.org) which lists 4,500 homes, apartments and buildings built in Los Feliz.

Interested in viewing your

neighborhood’s original tract map? John Chadbourne of Equity Title is a pro at track-ing tracts.

“It’s like layers of onions,” he said.

Chadbourne suggests visiting the Los Angeles County Assessor’s website to identify properties and then to the Los Angeles County Dept. of Public Works web-site to locate historical tract maps. Another resource is the city’s Zoning Informa-tion and Map Access System, located at zimas.lacity.org

portation priority is pedestri-an safety, and this project will allow more people to safely cross the Los Angeles River,” Los Angeles City Council-member Mitch O’Farrell, who represents the area, said in a statement.

The bridge is expected to take about one year to com-plete and will cost $4 million according to the Bureau of Engineering.

The Red Car project her-alds a larger overhaul of the Glendale-Hyperion bridge complex—a series of concrete bridges built in 1928, which connect Silver Lake, Atwater Village and the 5 freeway—slated to start in 2020. The overhaul will include seismic retrofitting and various up-dates including widened ve-hicle bridges, additional bike and pedestrian access and freeway ramp improvements.

Additionally, the project comes on a wave of no-car bridges currently underway along the river, including the La Kretz Crossing Bridge, which will connect Atwater Village to Griffith Park and is slated for completion this year.

Further downstream near

Elysian Valley, the Taylor Yard pedestrian bridge is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in 2021.

memory of the Red Car line, FAV representatives say they intend to recreate the iconic mural elsewhere in the area, but have not yet identified a location for that project.

High School Sports RoundupBy Mike Guardabascio, Ledger Columnist

It was a successful spring for the local schools, with a few programs still competing with championship hopes as the summer draws near.

JOHN MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL

The Marshall Baseball team is the only local group besides the Loyola track pro-gram still in competition for a championship.

The Barristers came on strong at the end of the year, winning their last eight games to improve to 20-14 and win an undefeated 10-0 Northern League championship.

Marshall won its first two playoff games to earn its way into the semifinals on May 22nd, where the Barristers beat Banning after midnight

at USC’s Dedeaux Stadium. The game went to extra

innings, where Abraham Pa-checo’s walk-off double scored Joshua Lee in the bottom of the eighth to give Marshall a 7-6 win.

The victory sent the Barris-ters to Dodger Stadium, where they played for the LA City Sec-tion championship May 25th, falling 4-0 to Narbonne.

The Barristers softball team had a great year for coach Orquidea Labrador, going 22-9 overall. Marshall earned the No. 3 seed going into the playoffs, and beat King Drew 14-4 and Hamilton 19-9 before running into an upset-happy Roosevelt team in the semifinals.

Marshall was led by fresh-man Jazmin Frias, who hit a team-high .462 with 23 RBIs.

Senior Alyssa Puquirre hit .446 with 22 RBIs.

Marshall’s boys’ volleyball team had a great second half to the regular season, winning 14 of their last 24 games to improve to 19-17 overall, in second place in the Northern League. That got them a play-off spot, where they lost in the opening round to Sylmar.

LOYOLA HIGH SCHOOLThe Loyola boys’ volley-

ball team had a great spring with an undefeated Mission League championship and a 22-6 overall record, finishing in the top five in the nation.

The Cubs couldn’t get over on Newport Harbor, however, as they fell to the Sailors in the CIF-SS Division 1 semifinals and the CIF State Division 1 semifinals.

The Cubs baseball team finished its season at 17-12 with a first-round playoff loss to Oaks Christian.

Loyola’s spring season isn’t quite over, with a quarter of athletes set to travel to Fresno to compete in the CIF State track & field championships.

Pole vaulter Will O’Brien, mile runner Anthony Stone, 800 meter runner Mason Rat-kovich, and the 4x400 relay were all hoping for a big week-end at press time.

IMMACULATE HEART HIGH SCHOOL

The Pandas softball team finished the year 8-10 and 2-6 in the Sunshine League. Even though Immaculate Heart missed the playoffs, there’s plenty to look forward to over the coming years.

The Pandas were led by a strong group of underclass-men including sophomore Lily Factora, who finished the year with 9 RBIs. Sophomore Em-ily Maloney hit .312 to lead the team and freshman pitcher Lucia Mosquera started 12 games in the circle, going 6-6.

BELMONT HIGH SCHOOLThe Belmont boys’ volley-

ball (1-13) and baseball (2-12) teams both missed the play-offs, but the Sentinels’ softball squad had a memorable year.

They qualified for the playoffs as an at-large squad after wrapping up the regular season 2-13.

The Sentinels won their playoff opener 16-14 over ESAT, then fell to Manual Arts 21-14 in the second round.

Throwaway ThreadsBy Meher McArthur, Ledger Columnist

In recent de-cades, just as fast food

has generated waste and envi-ronmental damage, “fast fash-ion”—in which fashion trends are made available to consumers quickly and cheaply, such as at stores like Forever 21, Zara and H&M—creates considerable waste.

Consumers are encour-aged to buy multiple outfits and discard them after wear-ing them a few times. And why not? They’re cheap.

However, the production of fast fashion has many hid-den costs, including destruc-tive and water-thirsty cotton farming methods (including organic cotton!) and inhumane labor conditions in textile fac-tories, as we are learning from such sources as the 2015 docu-mentary film, The True Cost, which spotlights fast fashion’s environmental and human toll.

After we buy these gar-ments and tire of them, they turn quickly into trash. A May 5th NBC News report stated that Americans are sending four times more clothing to the landfill today than in 1980.

In 2014, the EPA esti-mated that rubber, leather and textiles make up 10.8% of municipal solid waste in the country’s landfills, some 12.5 million tons per year.

Once in the landfill, clothes made from synthetic, petroleum-based fibers can take centuries to biodegrade, and even clothes made from natural fibers that are dyed, bleached or printed contain chemicals that can leach into groundwater.

Of course, many fast fash-ion consumers recycle their clothing by donating them to thrift stores. However, many charities are having increasing trouble processing the bur-geoning volume of donated clothing, especially if it is poor quality or damaged. Much of it is sold on to clothing recy-clers, who then ship it in bulk to developing countries, where it is often unwanted and ends up in their landfills.

At the end of 2018, when Netflix launched the series, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo (based on her 2014 best-selling book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up), thousands of Americans began purg-ing their bursting closets and heading to the thrift stores.

“In December, January and February, we were over-whelmed,” said DeChandra Clark, cashier at the Out of the Closet thrift store in Atwater Village. “It was raining outside and people were still coming with eight bags of stuff! We couldn’t get through it all.”

So what’s the solution? As with many of our waste issues, change can only be found in a more mindful approach to our consumption. As I am sure Marie Kondo would agree, before buying something, we should ask ourselves if we re-ally need it.

This can be an especial-ly tough question when the item is cheap. But it helps to remember that although the price on the tag seems low, there were likely hidden costs in its production, and the cost of its disposal is higher than we can afford to pay.

[IMMACULATE HEART]

Goodbye, Seniors! Hello, Summer!By Chechi Amah ’21

With so much happening in our student lives at once, it is very easy to feel overwhelmed by obligations, whether they be school-related or extra-curricular.

One example is that stu-dents like myself recently fin-ished AP exams—the culmina-tion of months of preparation. But just when we thought we were done with testing, we are now facing our cumulative as-sessment period, known as CAP, where we are tested on we have learned throughout our second semester.

Although summer is within reach, students are not letting that fact deter from their goals as they put their heads in their books and study hard these remaining days of school.

Life is a little bit better for the seniors, as they are not only looking forward to sum-mer and eventually their new college experiences, but also graduating at the Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday, June 5th.

After CAP week, we will unite as a school community one more time for Class Day on June 4th, and say our final goodbyes to members of the Class of 2019. We wish them all well and congratulate them for their achievements.

Despite the year being very challenging and admit-tedly stressful, I can speak for all Immaculate Heart students when I say that it was a forma-tive year that will not be for-gotten. Now it’s time for a glo-rious summer spent with our family and friends!

that, just like our country, Los Angeles has always had both: Fear and trust; hate and love; division and unity. A stronger, safer city is a choice—and if we want a City without hate, we’ve got to stand up to it.

Because though we may have hate, we also have in-credible acts of love. We have communities that intermingle every day, and form cross-cul-tural bonds that are only pos-sible in a city like ours and we have a powerful LGBTQ com-munity with a deep history that today has built one of the greatest healthcare and sup-port networks in the world, anchored by the new Anita May Rosenstein LGBT Center Campus in Hollywood.

That’s why I view it as my duty—all of our duties—to

champion communities out-side of my own, and celebrate benchmarks of progress, like the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council’s Maebe A. Girl, the first drag queen ever elected to public office in California.

It’s why I’ve met with the Jewish Federation to hear about their Community Security Ini-tiative, which has created a cen-tral point of contact for critical incident coordination and has become a model for proactive hate crime prevention citywide.

Most of all, it’s why we need to stand together, across religion, ethnicity, sexual and gender identity, to secure the safe, inclusive, and diverse Los Angeles we believe in.

Yes, the arc of history is long, and it does bend toward justice—but it only does so when we all work together.

Where Larchmont Students Are Going This SummerBy Mia Reid, 8th grade

With less than a month left of school, Larch-mont students are getting ex-cited for summer break. It has been a year full of fun and stress.

Even though we have been looking forward to sum-mer for a long time, it will be a bittersweet day for the eighth graders who are leaving Larch-mont for high school.

With summer also comes vacations! In this article you will get to hear what two Larchmont eighth graders are doing for summer vacations.

Dagmar Baker is an

eighth grader at Larchmont. She has a very exciting sum-mer break planned.

“I am really looking for-ward to summer break. The day school gets out, my family is go-ing to fly to Thailand, and visit my best friend and her family,” she said. “After that I am going to go to a volleyball camp for the rest of the summer.”

Eighth grader Devin Aure is also travelling abroad.

“The week after the last day of school, I am going to go to Denmark for the whole summer [to] visit family,” he said. “We go to Denmark ev-

ery summer, because my fam-ily and friends live there.”

Both these students sound like they are going to have a blast this summer. I hope you have a great summer too.

tion or recently completed along the one-mile stretch from Sunset Boulevard and Beaudry Avenue to Sun-set Boulevard and Alvarado Street.

If approved and complet-ed as described below, these projects will bring more than 1,403 new apartments, condos and townhomes to this main thoroughfare.

1111 Sunset Blvd.By far the largest devel-

opment ever proposed for the area, 1111 Sunset Blvd. will bring nearly one million square feet of residential, hotel and commercial expansion.

Santa Monica based real estate firm Palisades is backing the project—which is more like a campus. Design firms involved include SOM, archi-tect Kengo Kuma and James Corner Field Operations.

Most of architect William Pereira’s 1963 Metropolitan Water District campus will be demolished to make way for the high-density enclave lo-cated on a 5.5-acre knoll below Victor Heights, across Sunset Boulevard from Angelino Heights, both historically low-density neighborhoods. The existing Elysian apartment building—a renovated Pereira design—will remain.

Plans for 1111 Sunset Blvd. are for 778 residential units, a mix of market rate and afford-able; 98 hotel rooms in three towers of 49, 31 and 17 stories; 26 bungalow-style two to four story residential buildings sur-rounding the tower bases; five floors of underground parking and commercial/retail spaces.

Palisades, the develop-ment company, has applied for 20 on and off site licenses for alcohol for 95,000 square feet of commercial development.

A draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is ex-pected soon.

The project has raised concerns among preservation-ists and local stakeholders, including cultural historian Richard Schave, of the well known cultural and literary tour company Esotouric.

“The design is vastly over-stated for the neighborhood and will have a huge impact structurally and visually,” said Schave.

Close by is the in-progress Ferrante apartment complex from G.H. Palmer Associ-ates—at 1000 W. Temple St. on the southeast corner of the Temple and Beaudry intersec-tion—adding an additional 1,500 apartments and 30,000 square feet of retail.

Additionally, on the southwest corner of the same intersection, 83 residential units are under construction on the site of a former auto re-

pair shop.

1130 W. Sunset Blvd.

The .76-acre lot at 1130 Sun-set Blvd. is for sale as a develop-ment opportu-nity and listed at $9.75 million.

The listing notes that the city has granted the property a 60% increase in residential den-sity, plus reduced setbacks and only one parking spot required per unit, provided 9% of units are affordable to households with an extremely low income.

Listing agent Frank Sergi of All California Brokerage said with the upzon-ing, a developer could build ap-proximately 200 units on the land, which is currently home to a parking lot and Club Bahia. The club, which dates to 1974, is not included in the sale and will possibly relocate.

1229 W. Sunset Blvd.Located on a series of lots

running west from Everett Street—on the site of a former Do It Center—this approved 204-unit mixed-use develop-ment on 2.65 acres is compro-mised of several structures.

Building A is approved for 161 residential units, with 3,068 square feet of retail space with car and bike park-ing. Building B consists of 43 units plus retail and parking.

In total, parking for 294 cars and 232 bicycles can be constructed.

Additionally, a six-home small lot subdivision fronting Everett Street will be built with 12 separate parking spaces.

1251 Sunset Blvd.A five-story, 70-unit

apartment building—with seven affordable units and 35 required parking spots—is proposed to replace a hillside, 1920s-era bungalow court at 1251 Sunset Blvd., adjacent to Guisados Echo Park.

The Echo Park Neighbor-hood Council’s Land Use and Planning Committee has op-posed the proposed develop-ment for several reasons, in-cluding insufficient outreach to current residents and exces-sive height and grading.

1275 Sunset Blvd.The proposal for the

20,207 square foot lot at 1275

Sunset Blvd. includes 77 units (seven are designated afford-able), with 45 required park-ing spaces and 18 guest spaces, plus racks for 85 bikes in an eight-story building.

1313 Sunset Blvd.Called the Elysian Fields

Artists Lofts, Silver Lake-based Warren Techentin Ar-chitecture are the designers for this contemporary space, no-table for its perforated facade.

Within are 27 live/work lofts ranging in size from 580 (for a micro-loft) to 1,375 square feet. Apartments are leasing between $3,495 and $4,495 per month for two-bedroom units. Most come with two parking spaces.

1492 Sunset Blvd.Grading is ongoing for

a modern five-unit project at 1492 Sunset Blvd., next to the mini-mall where Sunset Beer, Bar Calo and other businesses are located.

Permitted are four three-bedroom, 1,700 square foots units, topped by a 2,200 square foot penthouse.

Olfati Design Group of Long Beach is listed as the architecture firm per city re-cords. The 15,000-square-foot, soon-to-open Brick Works retail and restaurant development—a remake of the A Grocery warehouse—is across the street.

2014 Sunset Blvd.A 36-unit four-story

apartment building, consist-ing of one- and two-bedroom apartments, close to the inter-

section of Sunset Boulevard and Alvarado Street is cur-rently in the finishing stages of construction. The building occupies a long vacant lot be-tween an apartment building and car wash.

SILVER LAKE

Two residential projects and a hotel are conjoined in name as “Junction Gateway.” These projects are:

4000 Sunset Blvd.Initially planned for 84

apartments, developer Frost/Chaddock has changed plans for this space to now develop a 94-room boutique hotel with 4,000 square feet of restaurant space. The location will also have a corner plaza with out-door seating.

4100 Sunset Blvd. Ninety-one apartments,

including eight for very low income, are planned for a new five-story development. Ac-cording to developer Frost/Chaddock, the 5th story is set off from the front of the build-ing. The development will also have 10,000-square feet of street-level restaurants—three that are available for the sale and consumption of alcohol—retail and a public art project.

4311 Sunset Blvd. Replacing the currently

boarded up “Bates Motel” will be a four-story development for 108 apartments, according to developer Frost/Chaddock, 10 set aside for very low in-come. There will be approxi-

mately 5,500 square feet for street level restaurant and re-tail, residential and retail sub-terranean parking and a meet-ing space for community use.

EAST HOLLYWOOD

5420 Sunset Blvd. This site is planned di-

rectly across from the area’s in-progress construction of a Target at Western Avenue and Sunset Boulevard and calls for a “contemporary architecture style.” Planned are two seven-story buildings and two six-story buildings, for 735 multi-family apartments and 96,000 square feet of commercial uses including a supermarket, which will replace the current Food 4 Less at the site.

Hollywood Boulevard/Hillhurst Avenue/Sunset Boulevard “City Lights” (Western corner)

This site has already been cleared—the demolition of the Auto Zone store and other buildings—for a development ranging in height from four to six stories for 202 studio, one, two and three bedroom units. The development will also have 14,700 square feet of ground level retail and park-ing for 372 cars.

Hollywood Boulevard/Hillhurst Avenue/Sunset Boulevard (Eastern corner)

A 17-room hotel and two restaurants is planned at the now vacated site of Ac-tion Vacuum and Good Luck Bar—next door to the Vista Theater.

BUILDING BOOM–There are 14 projects planned or in various stages of development for over 1,600 new units along Sunset Boulevard between Echo Park and Los Feliz. Pictured here (by row, left to right): 4000 Sunset, 4311 Sunset, 4100 Sunset, 1111 Sunset, 1251 Sunset and 1275 Sunset.
