Massive Parking Structure Goes Up in Echo Park

I took a few shots of the enormous 6 story parking structure going up next to the Angelus Temple. If I remember correctly the place has a long history of fanaticism, and judging by the size of this parking structure, things haven't changed much. Unfortunately no one got to these guys in time to tell them about how parking costs, near $40,000 per space for multi-level structures, are never recouped and how travel behavior is changing (or about the coming velolucion, when all parking facilities will be commandeered and turned into housing for people, not cars). You have to ask yourself why we have parking requirements but no housing requirements in this city. Though I'm sure being a religious organization, the tax breaks alone were enough to make the venture affordable. Mega churches have always interested me...wonder how much it costs to get into the place. Past objections to the Parking Structure at the Tower of Babel have been against housing demolition yes, but what about unleashing the gates of carmageddon? I guess since Glendale Blvd is already Hell on Earth, no one really minds more of the same. Anyway, no recent news on it, I'll try emailing Jesus Sanches at Eastsider LA to try and get a mention from him.
