Interesting to hear that the 1801 Ave. of the Stars building will be demolished, as I worked in its twin building across the street in the early 80's, when the Century City Shopping Center was rather drab and not terribly upscale. (Also, since there was no parking available in our building, many of us parked on the nearby neighborhood streets, which of course is no longer an option.)
Now when I return for a visit to the Westside, the traffic congestion I complained about back then seems almost quaint, as the increased density has certainly come with a price. Needless to say, mass transit will continue to be a major challenge for L.A. as it tweaks its mostly suburban template into something more urban and compact.
