A new Hollywood activist group

As you may have read here and elsewhere, the city bosses recently rushed through the new Hollywood community plan. The plan has not yet been fully passed, as I wrongly thought, however; it still needs to go through the City Council - so there's some slim hope that it can be changed. The plan has been sharply and vigorously criticized by some vocal Hollywood activists, some of whom have joined together to create a new website, People for Livable Communities. The community plan for our area, the "Silver Lake - Echo Park - Elysian Valley Community Plan," is (according to Silver Lake Neighborhood Council member Elizabeth Bougart-Sharkov) apparently set to be revised sometime soon.
     I think it is extremely important that Silver Lake residents stay on top of the revision of our plan, especially if it's true - as the website for People for Liveable Communities states - that "The Hollywood Community Plan is just the first of 35 Community Plans that will cover every part of Los Angeles. It is the template for all the plans that will follow."
      I'm going to try to find out when our community plan is scheduled to be redone. Meanwhile, maybe we can learn something from this new Hollywood activist group, which is hellbent on stopping its community plan. Here's a scary image from its website:

Mayor Villaraigosa wants what he calls “elegant density”
The City reads your silence as support for this vision.

The Hollywood Community Plan is just the first of 35 Community Plans that will cover every part of Los Angeles. It is the template for all the plans that will follow.
