L.A. Eco-Village Buying Property, Planning New Car-Free Mixed-Use Building
Interested party note: I, Streetsblog Los Angeles Editor Joe Linton, live at L.A. Eco-Village and am an owner in the Urban Soil/Tierra Urban housing co-operative. I don't have any direct fiscal stake in the new development, but am nonetheless an involved party and very interested in seeing it improve my neighborhood.
