That is the kind of tasteless shit architecture that only LA could produce.

To be fair all of the above were built before 1970s. There are a few modern buildings like "The Broad" that are quite interesting. But overwhelmingly LA architecture is now dominated by tasteless developers like the one described in the article.

Thanks for your feedback on the quality of the architecture. Are you suggesting that I try to come in with a starting offer of $350 and see if we can close somewhere just north of $400?
