Budget Bill Preserves LA VA Site |
|
The
formal end of a controversial plan
to develop the federal Veterans
Administration property in West L.A.
came recently as President George
Bush signed into law a budget bill
containing a ban on commercial
development of the site.
The ban, inserted into the $550
billion budget bill as part of a
legislative agreement reached this
past fall, prohibits the sale,
exchange, long-term lease or
development of the 388-acre site on
both sides of Wilshire Boulevard
just west of the San Diego (405)
Freeway.
"Today's action caps a years-long
struggle to protect the VA site of
West LA from the kind of development
schemes that would have transformed
these hallowed grounds into a real
estate speculator's dream," L.A.
County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky
said in response to the bill
signing.

The Face Of Mandeville
Canyon - Mitch Brody
 |
At a recent Board
Meeting, Mitch introduced himself as
an “aspiring Block Captain”. That
not only brought laughter but a
heartfelt welcome to this son of
Mandeville, now returned. Mitch
calls himself a two-time resident of
Mandeville due to the fact that he
grew up on the corner of Banyan and
Cordelia from the time he was 2
years old until the day he left for
UC Berkeley at 17 years old. His
parents own the home to this day.
In Mitch’s words: “Some of my
fondest memories of my childhood are
from my many adventures in the
canyon – hiking up the fire trails,
walking my dog in Sullivan canyon,
biking up Westridge, skateboarding
(gasp!) down Banyan, etc.
|
|
A little more than a year ago, my
wife, Tracy, and I moved from our
house in Beverly Hills and bought
the a newly constructed home in the
2000 block of Mandeville where we
currently live with our 3 kids.
Having now lived in both upper
Mandeville (Banyan Dr.) and now in
lower Mandeville, I maintain that
there is no better canyon in which
to live in W. Los Angeles. I look
forward to serving as a block
captain and getting to know my
neighbors in the process." |
"You make each day a special day. You
know how, by just your being you.
There's only one person in this whole world
like you. And people can like you
exactly as you are."
Mr.
Rogers from "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood"
