Nathan Marsak returns to RIP Los Angeles after an absence — having been 'abducted by evil developers' — to find the destruction of Los Angeles's architectural heritage very much ongoing.
Greetings, my friends.
It is good to be back. I was abducted by evil developers and tossed into their underground lair, in an effort to prevent me from telling truth to power, whatever that is.
There is much to do.
Stay tuned,
Nathan

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.
