^ The incessant complaints about the use of stucco really need to stop, though. You and colemonkee keep beating up on a horse that's long been dead. I'm in agreement that Glo and the new complex at Wilshire/La Brea are terrible, but just because a building is clad in stucco doesn't automatically render it absolute crap. And let's not forget that LA's architectural vernacular, Spanish Revival, uses stucco as its primary material. There's a place for it.

Do we think the new Southwestern Law School housing looks bad? I don't.
