Project start date is August 2026. 241 affordable units for people making 30% and 80% of the area median income.
Surely this could have been converted to housing rather than torn down and replaced with a data center.
The project, which would replace a Hyatt Place hotel built less than 15 years ago at 750 N. Nash Street, calls for the construction of a new five-story, approximately 160-foot-tall building with 230,000 square feet of space, as well as a new electrical substation.
It goes before the Planning Commission this Thursday.
Just in case someone wanted to spend more time with the photos or wasn’t interested in the videos.

This encampment wasn’t here before the World
Cup (the alley behind the seedy DTLA Hotel on 7th). I feel terrible seeing these shells of a human struggling with everyday life. Is leaving them on the street really the humane or “progressive” choice? It’s needlessly cruel to leave these broken people out in the elements year round.
Honestly, what the fuck is going on?
Pasadena and South Pasadena have proposed a project to clean contaminated water from the channelized Arroyo Seco, but to build the necessary infrastructure, they’d have to remove nearly 140 mature trees, more than half of which are invasive and highly flammable. And a portion of the cleaner water would end up irrigating a public golf course.
The golf course irrigation has been a major point of contention raised by a group of residents on the Los Angeles side of the Arroyo. They have campaigned on social media and in weekly stakeouts to stop the project, which would significantly alter a small creek near the popular San Pascual Park.
Leaders of the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians-Kizh (Quiichi) Nation have also rejected the Arroyo Seco Water Reuse Project because the area is sacred and home to burial sites, said tribal chairman Andrew Salas. The tribe sent a formal opposition letter last year.
This confused the heck out of me. I’m driving my car in the carpool lane and see this behind me. As I transition lanes to take my exit I noticed this - no gun, no real uniform, fake badges and patches. Is this allowed to just cosplay like this? The man was in his 60’s.
But yea what are the laws for this?
What can we do as a community the next time one of us sees this? There’s got to be more we can do than just call….
Fireworks after the game were inevitable. But you can tell they are sad fireworks
or at least not as much, you know, since Mexico lost
sorry to all the Mexico fans tho, just tryna find a bright side to look at
Watched a driver leave the bar and hit 3 parked cars.
I called 911. Waited 3 minutes on hold. Got told that because I’m not injured and it’s not my car, they can’t help me. The drivers will need to submit a police report online when they find the damage.
Watched a drunk driver speed off onto the main road.
The 911 operator yelled at me for wasting their time. And said “Because we’re underfunded and don’t have enough officers, we can’t do anything right now.”
They didn’t collect any information from me. Location or driver details.
I’m tired and beaten down trying to get the police to do absolutely anything in this town.
A $2B annual joke.
I went last night with my partner and it was a great event. We parked our car in a Metro parking structure and took the E Line there. The event was hosted by Queen Latifah and headlined by Chris Stapleton and The Smashing Pumpkins. The drone show and fireworks display at the end was worth the price of admission alone. It was only $17.76/person. Obviously, the cost of the event was heavily subsidized.
Any interesting stories from this year in the life of a medical professional on the 4th of July?
Genuinely seeking a serious discussion. We've all seen these activities. I'm sure there's lots of historical and cultural factors at play, certainly things I'm unaware of. Yet I can't get past the sense of selfishness/desire to annoy or general lack of concern for others.
I understand there can be an inherent sense of community, but I don't believe, at best, nuisances are a common good. Such behavior is a net-negative, a detriment to society through noise and air pollution, in addition to public safety. I'm not advocating for complete silence; we obviously live in a huge city.
There's no overnight fix, and it's not as simple as "police do nothing" or "let the police do their job". So what would it take to have these objectively illegal activities curtailed? How long should it take?
