Interview with Jane Blumenfeld, Senior City Planner with the L.A. Dept. of Planning.
"Because of her vast amount of knowledge The Planning Report approached Jane Blumenfeld, Senior City Planner with the L.A. Dept. of Planning, and asked her to help in clarifying the fate of one of the most important urban sites in L.A. -- the Ambassador Hotel site. Her response is balanced and fair, weighs the needs of the community and the region and urges a solution which might just return the site to functionality in our lifetime."
