      Forget tax, if they abandoned it then seize it entirely and develop it for public housing.

      That's the crazy thing, feels like this one would solve itself! The city could just seize the property as forfeit and then finish developing it and using it as cheap publicly-owned housing.

      The LA council is just embarrassed as they should be. But why are they focusing on graffiti on private property vs. graffiti that is covering public property? They should clean up their areas before sending crews to go up and clean up someone else's mess.

      They even own Smithfield, the largest pork producer in the world. They were an American company, but I guess everyone has a pricetag and Smithfield did as well.

    Where in downtown is this building and why was it abandoned? Why can’t the City use this building to house the un-housed? Make one floor social services offices, make another floor for counseling and mental health services, make another floor into a dining hall/commons like in colleges.

      It's hard to convert properties to another use. Another problem is I wonder what the inside looks like. We're only seeing the outside. I have a feeling the damage and vandalism done inside is huge since construction stopped in 2019. It might be so bad the buildings might not even be salvageable.

  • @roachtoasties

    The city should just seize the property and give it free to a developer that will finish the project. We're only seeing the outside of the property. I wonder what damage has been done inside. It might be the buildings are unsalvageable and will need to be torn down.

    Details and questions conveniently not mentioned nor answered: (1) Who owns the sky rises, (2) why were they abandoned halfway in construction, (3) why hasn't another commercial company bought them out, (4) why hasn't the city stepped in to make them living residence during the so-called housing crisis, (5) why the tagging is only NOW an issue, (6) gentrification and related commercial capitalism screwing over middle class citizens (liberal and conservatives equally alike) running amok.

    That's not graffiti. That's an artistic MURAL. This is what happens when you allow spray painting on a wall as long as it's called a MURAL and not GRAFFITI. This happens when 1 group can do it without arrest and others cant.

    Oh, fuck Kevin DeLeon. He's part of the racist dialogue that got Nury Martinez kicked out of City Council. He's been asked to resign multiple times and refuses to do so.
    Go figure that NOW he suddenly wants to do something because it'll make him look like he's saving the city. Ugh.
