upscale graveyard living




Between Heaven & Earth

The Playa Vista development has unearthed one of the largest Native American burial grounds in California. Tribal leaders want their ancestors re-buried, but the remains have been locked in a trailer for years

I guess the folks behind the development haven't seen Poltergeist. I doubt the promotional brochures mention that thus far 411 sets of remains have been unearthed at the site. Playa Vista's website touts the development as westside luxury re-imagined.

My previous gripe with the project was that one of the largest remaining tracts of open space (some of it wetland) on the westside of Los Angeles was going to be replaced with 5,846 homes & condos and that despite the $100 million dollars that the developer has committed to help mitigate the increased traffic those units will bring to already overcrowded roadways that there would still be increased congestion but this is just wrong.
