What’s Happening?
Developer Jordan Shalom is exploiting a loophole to force through a massive 62-unit, 9-story apartment project between Barham Blvd and Floyd Terrace, in an area designated by CAL FIRE as a “Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone,” where such construction is prohibited.
After the 2025 LA Fires catastrophe resulting in destruction and death, it’s ludicrous to build the Mega Project.
How does it affect you?
Traffic Disaster
Expect up to a 70% increase in traffic on Barham Blvd during a ~3-4 year construction build. Think traffic on Barham sucks now? Just wait for the Mega Project to make things worse. Permanently.
Fire Evacuation Issues
Imagine the Pacific Palisades Fire Evacuation Disaster, but on Barham
- The local neighborhood cannot support a building of that size. First responders will be blocked as they attempt to access the surrounding neighborhoods.
- Families, children, and seniors in nearby homes may not make it out in time. This is not hypothetical. It is a real threat to the lives of every resident nearby.
