UpHouse Project LA
Artist Anne Hars places bouquets of balloons on homes slated for demolition to make way for new luxury housing in Los Angeles. The balloon project seeks to ask people to consider the meaning of home and community, the value of our labors, and if we are going to be a caring city- a city of angels, or a city that rewards developers profiteering off homelessness and the housing crisis.

Natalie update
You may recall Natalie Moore, the resident at 624 Coronado St whose building was sold to a developer who tore the roof of during the rainy season and then got the city to declare the building unsafe and evict all the tenants. Luckily people here in the neighborhood helped to stop this and make sure Natalie was rehomed while the 4plex craftsman was rehabbed.
I am happy to report that Natalie is doing well. She celebrated her 90's birthday in her renovated apartment where she lives with 2 cats and her 2 pound chihuahua Isabel. Because Natalie's housing situation stabilized, she was finally able to take steps to get some health issues taken care of with the help of a caregiver.
You can read about the story at the following links.
