Opportunity Zones are an economic development tool that allows people to invest in distressed areas in the United States. Their purpose is to spur economic growth and job creation in low-income communities while providing tax benefits to investors. Opportunity Zones were created under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Public Law No. 115-97(link is external)). Thousands of low-income communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories are designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones. Taxpayers can invest in these zones through Qualified Opportunity Funds. SUBJECT THE BEST OPPORTUNITY ZONES IN CALIFORNIA PROPERTY As the most populous state in the Union, California is ripe with Opportunity Zones— and opportunities to invest in them. While the largest Opportunity Zones in the state are located far inland, there are still Opportunity Zones in some of the state’s most densely populated areas, such as Los Angeles and San Diego Counties. LOS ANGELES: DTLA, THE ARTS DISTRICT, AND KOREATOWN Downtown LA (DTLA), and in particular, the LA Arts District, is one of the fastest growing urban areas in Los Angeles County, which itself is third-largest metropolitan economy in the world, with a gross domestic product of nearly three quarters of a trillion dollars per year. Much of DTLA is located within Opportunity Zones, providing a promising opportunity for investors looking to enter the market. In addition to Downtown LA, Koreatown is another fast-growing neighborhood in Los Angeles, nearly all of which is inside a QOZ. From 2012 to 2019, residential real estate prices in the area nearly doubled, with the average home value jumping from $333,000 to $637,000, which has greatly increased demand for multifamily rentals, as many individuals and families are priced out of homeownership. 744 & 750 S NEW HAMPSHIRE AVE OFFERING MEMORANDUM KIDDER MATHEWS 10 02 SALE COMPARABLES SALE COMPARABLES MAP SALE COMPARABLES 744 & 750 S NEW HAMPSHIRE AVE OFFERING MEMORANDUM KIDDER MATHEWS 11 MELROSE HILL N VIRGIL NAVE VIRGIL ARLINGTON AVE ARLINGTON MELROSE AVE 06 OAKWOOD BEVERLY BLVD VERMONT AVE W TEMPLE ST S WESTERN AVE RAMPART

  • Iii. General Description of Environmental Setting
    III. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Section 15125 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines requires that an EIR include a description of the existing environment. This section is intended to give a general overview of the environmental setting for this project. More detailed information on existing conditions is provided under each individual environmental topic studied in Section IV, Environmental Impact Analysis. This section also provides an overview of the related projects that are considered as part of the future conditions in evaluating cumulative impacts. A. OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 1. Project Site and Surrounding Area Location As stated in Section II, Project Description, the project site is located in the Wilshire Community Plan Area, approximately 2.5 miles north of the Santa Monica Freeway (I-10). In addition, the northern one-third portion of the project site is located within the Miracle Mile District, a mile-long commercial corridor fronting Wilshire Boulevard from Sycamore Avenue to Fairfax Avenue. The Wilshire and LaBrea Project consists of a residential component and a retail/restaurant component. Specifically, the proposed project is situated on a 147,057-square-foot site that is bound by Wilshire Boulevard to the north, Sycamore Avenue to the east, 8th Street on the south, and La Brea Avenue to the west. Existing Land Uses The Wilshire Community Plan Area has a pattern of low- to medium-density residential uses interspersed with areas of higher-density residential uses. Long, narrow corridors of commercial activity can be found along major boulevards, including Wilshire Boulevard. The Miracle Mile District consists of a mixture of commercial, retail, upscale restaurants, and museums that are very popular destinations for tourists.

  • Kevin Koga CS465 9/5/08 Final Project Proposal (First Draft, First Idea)
    Kevin Koga CS465 9/5/08 Final Project Proposal (First Draft, First Idea) Inspiration: The idea for my project was inspired by guitar hero. In guitar hero, players press buttons in time with a visual display of corresponding buttons and an audio track. Correctly pressing buttons scores you points, and you hear the guitar portion of the audio track. As someone who can actually read music, guitar hero always seemed too easy to me. Obviously the game is designed so that anyone can play it; even if they’ve never before seen written music. I was thinking about how Guitar Hero was eventually expanded to make Rock Band. I thought of how revolutionary those games have been. And my idea then occurred to me. Idea: When people learn to sight-sing music, the only feedback they have is their own ear. If you sing the wrong note, it sounds wrong. With the voice, there is no integral number of notes: no fingerings like on a trumpet, no frets like on a guitar. With voice, as with fretless string instruments such as violin or cello, you could be missing the note by only a quarter-step or less. To a trained ear, this makes a big difference. So I thought, why not add visual feedback? A microphone could be connected to a computer measuring frequency data in real time. The frequency or pitch of the note played or sung could move a cursor on the screen up or down. The cursor could sit atop musical staff, and point to the current note being played.

  • Confronting Sa-I-Gu: Twenty Years After the Los Angeles Riots
    【특집】 Confronting Sa-i-gu: Twenty Years after the Los Angeles Riots Edward Taehan Chang (the Young Oak Kim Center for Korean American Studies) Twenty years ago on April 29, Los Angeles erupted and Koreatown cried as it burned. For six-days, the LAPD was missing in action as rioting, looting, burning, and killing devastated the city. The “not guilty” Rodney King verdict ignited anger and frustration felt by South Los Angeles residents who suffered from years of neglect, despair, hopelessness, injustice, and oppression.1) In the Korean American community, the Los Angeles riot is remembered as Sa-i-gu (April 29 in Korean). Korean Americans suffered disproportionately high economic losses as 2,280 Korean American businesses were looted or burned with $400 million in property damages.2) Without any political clout and power in the city, Koreatown was unprotected and left to burn since it was not a priority for city politicians and 1) Rodney King was found dead in his own swimming pool on June 17, 2012, shortly after publishing his autobiography The Riot Within: My Journey from Rebellion to Redemption Learning How We Can All Get Along, in April 2012. 2) Korea Daily Los Angeles, May 11, 1992. 2 Edward Taehan Chang the LAPD. For the Korean American community, Sa-i-gu is known as its most important historical event, a “turning point,” “watershed event,” or “wake-up call.” Sa-i-gu profoundly altered the Korean American discourse, igniting debates and dialogue in search of new directions.3) The riot served as a catalyst to critically examine what it meant to be Korean American in relation to multicultural politics and race, economics and ideology.
