LA Plaza Village Apartments

LA’s Mexican Museum, La Plaza Cocina, Worries Owners of Olvera Street Businesses | Eater LA

"A four-building, five-to-seven-story mixed-use development replacing former public parking lots, featuring 355 apartments (about 20% designated affordable), retail and restaurant space, and amenities such as a pet-washing center; developers tout public benefits including affordable units, local hiring, murals, and living wages. Community responses are mixed: proponents argue it will increase foot traffic and safety and provide public benefits, while many long-standing merchants fear competition, rising commercial rents, loss of the parking revenue base, and the potential for gentrification that could harm nearby historic businesses." - Karla Vasquez
