Greater LA
The case of the $30 million motel in LA
KCRW investigates an affordable housing development in the Westlake neighborhood. The project, a renovation of an old motel into apartments for unhoused veterans, has already soaked up more than $30 million, including $10.2 million from LA taxpayers, and isn’t scheduled for completion until March. Why so much? Where has the money gone? And who in city government is following it?
