• Steven Burns { I've lived in Venice long enough to understand that this is a done deal. LUPC and others might delay it, but Hizzoner and our Councilman have obviously already signed off. My suggestion: LUPC and the community needs to get involved in the contracting process to assure it goes away as... } – 1711 5:07 PM
• 2afraid2postmyname { Nooo, no no no: please read carefully. I worked (post, video/film) in the last months inside the Princeton Lofts. One hundred percent legit. But, don't get me going on about the Princeton Lofts: they shove W-4 employees into there. I'll shut the **** up now. } – 1711 1:28 AM

• reta { TheV is right. Most use their garages in the area but what happens when you have a gardener, a nanny, a housecleaner who needs a place to park. The fellow you worked for obviously does not have a permit that would check for the parking. Landlords who care would never... } – 1611 5:15 PM
• Lee { Brings up the question, where are all the employees for the new Trader Joe's shopping center going to park? TJ's is notorious for having too small parking lots so I'm sure their new store will be no different. } – 1611 9:54 AM

So a few thousand daily cars would now suddenly say, "Why yes, how pretty 1960's-cowtown-Europe, I think I'll start bicycling to work across LA now?" It's always all about the benjamins, baby, with developers... } – 1611 7:46 AM
• TheV. { Forgot to add: that Princeton loft had 19 (!?!) employees crowded into one singular unit with just the business owner parking inside the lot-- so there's just one case of 18 more cars on those streets. (And yes, the stress of working three feet on all sides next to folks... } – 1611 7:23 AM
• TheV. { Absolutely. Hard to get someone sans ID or physical address to pay up (or have any consequences for not paying,) while it's just so much easier to wring money out of residents. Sad but true. } – 1611 6:53 AM
• TheV. { Well, now I feel like a total arsehole for having spent this past summer parking on all the above-listed streets… I was working 9-6 on Princeton for a few months-- when I asked that job where the hell I should park around there, my (former) employer had excitedly pointed out... } – 1611 6:51 AM

• Another Anonymous Person { A 19 minute drive from Venice? How will the entrants continue to buy their meth & heroin if they aren't a block from the drug marketplaces on OFW? Where will they find enough bikes to strip and sell for their next high? } – 1511 5:43 PM
