1820 North Berendo MUST DIE!

In the stately pines of Los Feliz sits an elegant 1907 home at 1820 North Berendo. Single-family homes, of course, must be destroyed — so says the City of Los Angeles.

Because if you like trees, you are PART OF THE PROBLEM! Only tree demolition and a three-story, high-density building will save us!!!!

Just as we were liberated down the street at 1754 North Berendo!

Soon all the little homes will ALL be gone and we will be free! FREEEEEE!!!

    Tripalink—Worst Thing Ever?

    Tripalink builds housing marketed exclusively to Chinese nationals, has been cited by HUD for discrimination, and produces interiors of staggering awfulness. Nathan lets the pictures do the talking.
