  • Los Angeles Bibliography
    A HISTORICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN THE LOS ANGELES METROPOLITAN AREA Compiled by Richard Longstreth 1998, revised 16 May 2018 This listing focuses on historical studies, with an emphasis is on scholarly work published during the past thirty years. I have also included a section on popular pictorial histories due to the wealth of information they afford. To keep the scope manageable, the geographic area covered is primarily limited to Los Angeles and Orange counties, except in cases where a community, such as Santa Barbara; a building, such as the Mission Inn; or an architect, such as Irving Gill, are of transcendent importance to the region. Thanks go to Kenneth Breisch, Dora Crouch, Thomas Hines, Greg Hise, Gail Ostergren, and Martin Schiesl for adding to the list. Additions, corrections, and updates are welcome.

The appeal concerns BBSC's approval of a hauling route for more than one thousand truckloads of dirt in the hillside area on Doheny Drive north of Sunset Boulevard. BBSC's approval imposes significant risks for the community which BBSC expressly stated it had no power to address or remedy in its approval process. We live near the project cite and directly along the approved hauling route and are deeply concerned that the result of this approval in which the BBSC expressly determined that it lacked authority to implement reasonable safety standards for the hauling vehicles did not reasonably consider appropriate safeguard and will endanger our community. On nearby Loma Vista Drive in Beverly Hills, which has a similar grade to our street, three recent fatalities have been attributed to construction vehicles losing control while going downhill. Two of the victims were police officers. We are attaching a copy of a news article about these issues.
