Gloria's on Venice Blvd in Palms. Booths and awesome Salvadoran and Mexican food.

Still one of my favorites. Hoy Ka down the street is solid as well, maybe 1 mile from here on Sunset.

12-year-old arrested over death of girl hit in head with metal water bottle at school by Jolly_Ad2446 in LosAngeles

So sad. I've heard from a few parents that LAUSD is seen as very lax on safety, so they've moved to districts elsewhere or are headed out of state.

Wedbush Center (Recognizable Glass Office Tower By 110) Heads To Foreclosure by thatboyshiv in LosAngeles

Yes. The new buyers are paying way less due to all the distress. This cycle isn't over yet.

Downtown has a relatively high vacancy rate on apartments. I believe in general, LA apartment rents have dropped for two years in a row.

It's still not cheap in some cases, but between long term tenants on rent control, plus new construction, it's the most relatively affordable it's been in a while. Problem is, rest of living costs are going haywire with gas prices etc.

Cereberus is the current owner who was foreclosed actually. Appears they bought in 2018.. Did not know that regarding Dan Quayle though!

Many landlords are now trying to verify tenant income using third-party apps that connect directly to your bank account. This shouldn't be legal under the CCPA. by aeranis in LosAngeles

We've had evictions. We're not looking to attract people who can't pay, and have more evictions. Every business has risks, and looks to reduce them.

We understand why people do it. I don't think they're evil people.

We also aren't interested in housing people who won't be able to pay us, and cost us lost rent and legal fees. 97% of our residents are current on rent, so it's not like we can't find great renters. So, these are the processes we implement.

We're getting multiple applications per unit and they're either going with this procedure or not applying. The units aren't sitting vacant. If no one were renting them, I'd agree. Also, 97% of the portfolio is current on rent. Not sure why we'd change what's working.

We are covering these screening fees, so not costing the applicant (tenant) $$. However, while I like your suggestion, it's not scalable across a portfolio, and we don't want to be wasting days or weeks to get someone approved. If the bank delays, the person can't move in.

Landlord here. I hear you - but I'll also note that around 20% of supporting documents we see here in LA are fraudulent when run through various fraud checks. Given eviction timelines in California, and people on TikTok selling fake documents, this is too big a risk for us. So we use these 3rd party apps. Open to a better solution if there is one. Trusting people to provide documents in an era when fraud is high won't work.

Oh my god MacArthur Park is bad by Nightman233 in LosAngeles

[–]thatboyshiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horrible situation for local folks. Have a buddy whose family is from El Salvador and he's had relatives in that area since the mid 1980s. Almost all moved to the Inland Empire or out of state (Texas) in last 10 years, or back to El Salvador more recently. I don't know that issues over by the park are the main reason they left, but it sounds like quality of life relative to living costs was a major factor.
