I hate riding past this intersection (Radford and Landale, Studio City, CA) every Sunday on my way to the Farmers Market because I have to see this:
I’m sure the neighbors must love it, these monstrosities going up next door blotting out the sun and the stars and the view of the hills and what have you. It’s not just the one white house, towering over the cute little homes across the street, but now another one is going up alongside it, seemingly the same ginormous size.
This is a very cute, nice post-war neighborhood with small tract-size or what you might call ranch homes, probably very few of them bigger than 2500 square feet at the original construction. More and more you see these insanely huge new houses, or sometimes just horrid additions to original homes, which look so totally out of place in this neighborhood.
I guess I’m not the only one who doesn’t like this. Here’s a piece from Curbed on what’s being done to stop these awful things from going up — or at least slow them down.

Yeah, when we were back a few weeks ago, we drove around the “old neighborhood” (the “poor part” of Bel Air, west of Roscomare) and huge tracks of land have been taken over by 50 & 100,000 sq ft minicity homes…and bigger.
[For some reason, the previous comment block stopped letting me add text. Anyway….]
Two problems occur in Bel Air. One is the endless retaining walls holding back megatons of earth. Two is once millions have been spent on the retaining walls, they can run out of money, then it’s just abandoned, which has an up and down side.

the size of these places can be just so crazy – including on those winding canyon streets where the building literally sits on the street. I remember being at your house once for a party – where did you move to?
We moved to western Massachusetts where there’s still a lot of snow on the ground! Been here about a year and a half now. Aren’t you on our year-end card list? If not, I’ll catch you up on our last two in and email.
Yes, I’d love to know what the story is. Kind of figured you went somewhere, but didn’t know where or when or why. That’s a beautiful area, but I’m sure you’re really wanting spring about now. As I write this, it’s about 90 here in L.A.
