As I said elsewhere, you could almost look at Trump’s fence as an art installation.. That goofy governor of Texas is sure enamored of it. Just ignore the big scar it made on the landscape, though.

I haven’t been paying much attention to what gets built lately, it’s much too vast for my pea brain. There is a column in today’s NYT bemoaning the closures of malls around the country. But all I see is the huge traffic jams around our malls here. In my mind, malls were just the symptom of affluent people abandoning the inner cities to their fate, and then blaming the result on liberals instead of the market.

At one time I was going to keep track of building in this town and what it meant. Yes, I had delusions of grandeur about one more vast subject I know nothing about. And it would have cost me two buck a day buying the local fish wrap.

Hard to believe now I had the audacity, or maybe a delusion of grandeur, to try to analyze the progress of modern building. A million times beyond my pay grade. The best I can do is whine about new construction I happen to come across, such as the high rise monstrosity that has arisen in the heart of Hillcrest where the old Pernicanos restaurant was. It’s totally destroyed the village feel of Hillcrest from a few years ago. But, like so many things now, it’s not my problem. Also hard to believe the Los Angeles Times used to have an architecture critic.
