^^^^^ This is good and bad in many aspects.... The bad.... Hollywood will see a stump skyline on and near the couple of blocks surrounding Hollywood blvd... 6-7 story buildings like the ones already going up in the area... which isn't a bad thing for the area... But another thing that is going to suck is what I just mentioned... most likely what we will see going up around Capital Records is a 6-7 story "shit box" as some like to say on this forum. Which I don't think is a good thing for the immediate area parking lots of Capital Records which where the proposal was suppose to go.. it wouldn't kill to put two 20-30 story buildings there...... granted I was probably one of the lone ones who thought the proposals scale was a bit much for that area. another bad thing that will come of this is that EVERY FREAKING NIMBY IN LA COUNTY NOW KNOWS TO USE FAULTLINES TO GET THEIR WAY! but yet they are perfectly fine with putting their homes ontop of faults. But if this building would have been unsafe than it shouldn't be built.
Now for the good..... The developers, im hoping and praying... will decide to move the project to a different city center instead of canceling it completely as someone else has pointed out... I can see this going up on Wilshire, or even century city, the first design wouldn't fit in downtown but the second design would... and god knows I would love to see this project in downtown Long Beach
its skyline hasn't grown in 10+ years. So many parking lots and empty areas downtown long beach, google maps shows my pain HAHA only time will tell what will happen
