Studio City's famed Sportsmen's Lodge hotel could be replaced by 520-unit apartment complex

Studio City's Sportsmen's Lodge hotel could be demolished and replaced with 520 apartment units.

They tore the restaurant down to build a mall, they always planned to tear the hotel down too. This is what developers do. They target historic sites, claim to care about some form of preservation, get what they want and then tear down everything else connected to the site. This is a historic and beautiful hotel that is one of the few things left that makes Studio City unique. But they want to destroy everything unique. L.A. will become a huge landscape of generic, plain, soulless boxes. The problem is that far too many people have the idiotic idea that all change is good. It’s the same moronic idea that drives the politics, in general, of California.
