Federal officials begin developing a 'business plan' for the 387-acre Veterans Affairs Medical Center in the center of pricey West Los Angeles.
Surrounded by million-dollar homes, gleaming office towers and high-end retail shops, the VA land [in West Los Angeles] is viewed by many residents as an oasis of green in the middle of a densely packed and paved-over Westside.
...A VA land-use plan a few years ago called for development of 7.2 million square feet of commercial and medical-related construction on the site. When Westsiders complained that such development was tantamount to putting "another couple of Century Cities" there, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to block funding needed to implement the plan."
