I went by the site of the lucas museum today & it's obvious that, as they've announced, they're having supply chain issues. I was surprised at how few of the white customized exterior panels has been attached to the bldg.
In other projs, I'm always amazed at how quickly such features are completed. But with the Lucas, things are going very, very slowly. I'm sure its unique design is a major factor.. But still, the opening being delayed from 2022 to 2025?
Another proj going up in the arts dist is visible here...but it's rising against the backdrop of what this vlogger is showing about dtla....about LA. whoa. The city competes with other cities throughout the US & world for investment funds to get new projs underway. dtla also competes with other hoods...& cities....to attract tourists, day trippers, businesses.
About 2 yrs ago, when I saw just a few vids about how certain streets in Paris were being overrun with homeless camps, mainly immigrants from northern Africa, it gave me a poor impression of that town. If that can happen to an internationally loved & celebrated city like Paris, dtla doesn't have a prayer. Homeowners like the angeleno who's interviewed in this vid had better become more influential in LA city govnt & politics or else the future is going to become even rockier.

EDIT: the Arthur Will fountain is running again!...apparently at a reduced level, but more than just the surrounding angled geysers to the side of it working. I noticed today, however, that the dwp's moat & fountains are still lifeless.
