28/09/2017  |  No comments

Gorgeous new listing by Chamber member William Baker of Deasy/Penner&Partners2995.Swan

On an elevated corner lot a block from the popular park at the south end of Silver Lake, a short walk to the coffee shops and boutiques of the Boulevard, this striking piece of architecture by Cara Lee and Stephan Mundwiler is sited to take advantage of city views and abundant natural light. A refined sense of scale and proportion defines the exterior elevations and interior volumes, an open floor plan unifies the composition and large glass doors slide open to embrace the landscape. Natural wood floors and imported stone soften the award-winning architects’ design, while a pristine white European kitchen juxtaposes eloquently with polished concrete floors and accent walls. Cantilevered dramatically over the carport, an attached in-law suite has its own separate entrance, full bath and kitchenette, with a proven history of substantial vacation rental income. All finishes are of the highest quality. Rarely do we find a home of this caliber at the precise intersection of high design, prime location and luxurious lifestyle.

Historic Water Conversation Today

28/09/2017  |  No comments

Historic Water Usage of Los Angeles
Today (Tuesday Sept 26), the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) Board of Directors will hold a historic hearing on the California Water Fix proposed by Gov. Brown to modernize the State Water Project. The Governor’s plan would greatly enhance the reliability of a long-term water supply for L.A. County and Southern California. It would also improve the environmental integrity of the Bay Area Delta which is an integral part of the State Water Project.

The State Water Project was approved by California voters in 1960 by a 51.5 to 48.5 percent margin. In hindsight, we now know that the State Water Project is a primary reason why the economy of L.A. County is today the 19th largest in the world.

The water that flows via the State Water Project from the Sierras in Northern California to the Central Valley and Southern California is distributed in Southern California by MWD. To get a picture of how important water from MWD is to the City of L.A., please open this graph (Above). As you will quickly see, the water L.A. gets from the State Water Project via MWD is essential to our survival. We must assure its availability for our children and grandchildren. That is why the California Water Fix is so important.
