"His homework", basically. Which, if you know what you're doing, isn't much effort.

Nearly 20,000 people register to live at 113-unit Hollywood affordable housing complex

In one week’s time, nearly 20,000 people have applied for a lottery to fill a 113-unit affordable housing development in Hollywood, underscoring the need for affordable housing in South Florida. That number astounded Timothy Wheat, partner at Pinnacle, the developer behind Pinnacle 441, a property at the intersection of Johnson Street and State Road 7, south of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, that will provide affordable housing to households earning 60% or less of the area median income. “We’re at a crisis level, perhaps the likes of which we’ve never seen — a crisis of affordability,” Wheat told the Miami Herald.

“I’m alarmed at what this says about how dire the need for affordable housing is,” he said. “I’m still stunned by the fact that we’ll probably have to sit through a 20,000-person list when we randomize this. … I’m just stunned by the notion there’ll be, you know, 19,887 unhappy people. I’m still wrapping my own brain around that.”

Craig Ellwood’s Revamped Casa Kuderna Is Up for Grabs in L.A. at $5.5 Million

Though Craig Ellwood is probably best remembered for designing a three-part series of homes for Arts & Architecture magazine’s pioneering Case Study House Program, the self-taught California architect also crafted many other equally impressive midcentury-modern residences in the Los Angeles area from the early 1950s to mid-’70s; and one of these “exquisite boxes” just hit the market in Hollywood Hills, asking a smidge under $5.5 million.

Tucked away down a private street, amid two gated hillside parcels spanning almost three-quarters of an acre, the minimal steel-framed and glass structure is described in the listing held by Elizabeth Donovan of Coldwell Banker Realty as “an unparalleled masterpiece offering seclusion and tranquility.” Commissioned and built in 1956 for corporate illustrator Charles Kuderna—and aptly known as “Casa Kuderna”—the place was last sold to its current owners for $1.8 million in 2018, and then underwent a thoughtful renovation and restoration at the hands of Philippe Naouri of Maison d’Artiste using the archives of Jim Tyler, the architect who worked with Ellwood on the original house.
