Came here to ask this. Why was the land sold in the first place, if it's a public piece of land? Why doesn't the City of LA buy the land and place it in the public trust? I hate these half-assed pieces of reporting. I don't like the guy, he sounds like Ehrlich from SV, but if you're reporting this as news, at least fill in the blanks!
