Las Lomas Development
The L.A. City Council voted to halt its review of the Las Lomas project near the intersection of the 5 and the 14 freeways. The decision reflected the anxiety over growth and traffic felt by some of the city's elected officials, who rarely issue an outright rejection of a development proposal. Larry and his guests Ed Reyes, L.A City Councilman representing the 1st District, Greig Smith, L.A City Councilman representing the 12th District, and Ali Modarres, Associate Director at the Edmund G. "Pat" Brown Institute for Public Affairs discuss the history of the project and why it isn't going forward.
