9. Good guess. There USED TO BE housing there for vets.

The problem, like with so many things, is greed. These 400 acres are now wedged between some of the the most prime real estate in Los Angeles, if not the world--it sits between the millionaire bedroom community of Brentwood and UCLA. It is beautiful, with flowing lawns, long-shuttered art deco veteran boarding houses sitting vacant, and an old veteran's theater that has been converted to a community theater, the Wadsworth. And the rich neighbors want to keep it that way: a huge park-like open space with no scruffy veterans walking about. It really is a crime. I don't know how they got away with it. Sure hope the lawsuit is successful.
