N Mansfield at Fountain

This is not a home. 

This is a collection of vertical boxes stuck together. 

This "style" has spread all over the city. Some people tell me it's inspired (as if it were "inspirational"!) by a video game. It's ugly. It's generic. It has no warmth. 

It's just vertical boxes stuck together!

Western at Fountain

 

Holy Transfiguration Russian Orthodox Cathedral on 5432 Fernwood had its beginnings in the 1930s. It looks out of place in Los Angeles, but it's very beautiful.

 Gas stations make sense by the freeway. 

This other monster box typifies the growing ugliness as Los Angeles morphs into a smaller Communist China.
