L.A. May Limit Size of Large Homes
Addressing complaints from Los Angeles residents who fear that the spread of large, boxy houses across the city is spoiling the architectural flavor of small single-family neighborhoods, L.A. officials are discussing an "anti-mansionization" measure that would drastically limit the square-footage of new or remodeled homes. While some neighborhood activists welcome the proposal, others believe that it doesn't go far enough. Larry discusses the proposed measure, and the effect it would have on L.A.'s neighborhoods with Jane Usher of the Los Angeles Planning Commission, and Jack Weiss, L.A. City Councilman representing the 5th District.
