Around 2010, we were ensconced in our happy Los Angeles life, where we had met and raised our son. We had a lovely house on a quiet street adjacent to Marina del Rey. Suddenly everything changed. Google moved in about a mile south of us, the open land was turned into THOUSANDS of cheap apartments, and the land and real estate gold rush was on. The same thing happened in once sleepy little Marina del Rey. Thousands of new apartments. No change to existing roads. Waze brought speeding sports cars past our house, and the streets were clogged with too many cars for the infrastructure. It became a nightmare. In 2017, we bailed. Sold the house and left. I hear nothing but bad reviews of the apartments. As the lady said in this article: "bottom of the barrel materials" were used, and you could hear conversations throughs the walls. And charging top dollar. Who wins here? This was certainly not affordable housing, trust me.
