. The measure would have recklessly blocked the construction of desperately needed housing across the city of Los Angeles.
The new lawsuit alleges that the city of L.A. erred by not requiring the developer to do a full environmental review. The city determined the project qualified for a state-mandated Sustainable Communities Plan Exemption, which is designed toThe project on the Amoeba site is about a half-mile from a subway station, wouldn’t displace any renters and sets aside 5% of the 200 apartments for very-low-income tenants. The developer is also paying $2.
By the way, this isn’t the sad tale of a beloved record shop being pushed out of its longtime space by a greedy landlord. The owners of Amoeba Music sold the site to a developer in 2015 for $34 million. They’re planning to move to another location nearby and, apparently, want to add a pot shop to the music store.
Who’s to say the owners won’t create another colorful music mecca down the street? And if this silly lawsuit gets stopped, they’ll have 200 new neighbors to shop at the store.

opinion This is like the plot of an 80s/90s movie where inner city kids have to win a karate/sports/dance competition to save an old hangout from a greedy company/ white folk.
opinion
opinion Unbelievable that you can’t comprehend the intrinsic value of a record store, or a bookstore, vs spotify, amazon and such. Either you got paid to write this trash or the Editorial Board is a bunch of millennials. I wonder what cmonstah thinks about all this.
opinion BUILD 👏🏻 MORE 👏🏻 LUXURY 👏🏻 HOUSING
opinion Everyone is intitaled to their opinion, but why not sign your name to your editorials? Who are you? Do you have a special interest here? Your readers deserve to know.
opinion It’s stupid argument, because the building is more than 18 years old and has more history than just the 21st Century.
opinion Anyone know if Weinstein was at the McCarthy show? That would explain a lot.
opinion Get bent, bitch
opinion Clod!
opinion SUCK MY DIIIIIIIICK
opinion Paul McCartney shredded that place... he’s more than an “ex-Beatle.” He’s Macca for God’s sake.
opinion bulldoze the la times instead it’s less worthwhile
opinion 💿💿💿
opinion What’s laughable is how fake and plastic this perspective is.

opinion That statement is not an opinion. That statement is a textual visualization of what it smells like when an entire newspaper has its head up its ass.
opinion Just bulldoze the entire city. Then the rest of the country. Finally, the world.
opinion This sucks shit
opinion 🤮
opinion Yeah who cares - times change and thankfully so does the city
opinion Well, your iconic Tower Records is gone. In Sacramento we just lost our last record chain. Times move fast, Amoeba could be your last hope of that era - respect it!
opinion Because Capitalism
opinion
opinion The idea that the LA Times is a cultural or historic monument because their scribbling shitheads make money writing shitty takes is laughable. Guess we should tear it down to build more ugly condos there too.
opinion new development just means more crazy people from the east coast will move out here
opinion Clearly written by an idiotic millennial who seriously doesn’t understand what and why ameba should be a cultural & historical monument. It is so much more than because a Beatle played there.
opinion Yes but it should be stopped yes?
opinion How about it’s one of the few reasons to go to Hollywood anymore...
opinion this is insane. be embarrassed.
opinion Hear hear! We must protect iTunes and Spotify from the harmful narrative that music stores were once a magical gathering place for music aficionados. Hide it from the next generation! Pave it over! Viva la streaming services!
opinion Anyone who doesnt recognize it, its building, and its location is indeed historic is simply NOT from LA
opinion LA has a penchant for destroying our own history
opinion i'm sure absolutely no one involved in this editorial benefits from real estate development right?
opinion Human-scale environments that foster interactive, emotive experiences are the heart of a vibrant, healthy city. We should all want to preserve places that celebrate culture, create community. Without them, we’re living in a sterile, generic hardscape without soul. amoebarecords

opinion Sounds like someone didn’t get invited to the epic StellaMcCartney party.
opinion Latimes fighting for the greedy out of town developers who will build overpriced condos that Real Angelenos cant afford and instead will be bought to launder DirtyMoney and thus will sit empty 🤦♀️🤨 NotAGoodLook
opinion Go to hell
opinion Thank you, LA Times, for this anonymous shill piece full of anecdotal evidence.
opinion I don't care about the Beatles, but amoeba music is much more than that. It's a paradise for people who love music and it should stay. What are you going to build, another Starbucks?
opinion The LA Times: Actually, gentrification is cool kids, isn’t this a great take?
opinion Yikes
opinion I’m sure this take will go over well. Piss off
opinion Shill
opinion Sure we’re in a punishing housing crisis but cmon I mean rocknroll dood
opinion Catch a brick
opinion Lick vomit from the street pig
Yes, that one ex-Beatle concert is the only reason why Amoeba Music is a cultural landmark.
opinion
opinion Wouldn’t we rather see more places like this rather than another massive apartment building with rent that’s out of control? Keep amoeba.
opinion True, but Paul Westerberg of TheReplacements played there and laid on a couch. So... build your condos somewhere else.
opinion Quite the laughable opinion by the El Segundo Times
opinion Can we just exile Michael Weinstein for constantly wasting everyone's time and money?
opinion It’s a cultural monument because it’s Amoeba.
