More Blight From ANOTHER Out of Town Developer

Here is the body of an Email sent by an opponent of having condos built on the site of the old McCowan's Market.

It seems the current owner, Mike Rosenthal is using demolition contractors who not only work far past normal quitting times, they also leave a mess around the former market that so many of us remember and have fond memories for.

Here is what Barbara wrote:

This is the mess that crews left Saturday night after working well past 11:30 pm. The police were called and they stopped leaving broken glass, sharp metal pieces, and trash all over the side walk. This was not only and eyesore, but a very dangerous situation with children playing in the area. I took these pics to building and safety this morning and filed a complaint. This is no way to do work in our neighborhood. Rosenthal has no regard for anyone. Please continue with your efforts to get this stopped.

Thanks,

Barbara Dragich

Below is a photo Barbara took the morning after the work crew was stopped by the L.A.P.D.

This is now way for a developer to display, or have his contractors display how they work. If this is what we can expect from the developer, who know how whatever he builds will look like and it they will be constructed with the quality the houses in the neighborhood were constructed like.

So now we have to deal with another out of town developer trashing OUR community and trying to lower the quality of life for the residents who live in the neighborhood.

Fighting against the prospect of having ANY multiple-family units built on the former site of the market is very important and a fight we all need to be involved in.

The local neighborhood has become organized and united. Now, with the help of all the great members of R Neighborhoods Are 1, we will use our time, energy, and strengths to keep OUR community with the highest quality of life possible.
