As the affordability crisis spirals, Los Angeles should remember that our city used to build dense housing everywhere.
Just off Sunset Boulevard sits a bleached white structure topped by onion domes as if it had been lifted off the coast of North Africa. This is not the lodge of some arcane fraternal order, but a 12-unit bungalow court built in 1927. It is joined by an eclectic collection of structures along this short stretch of Parkman Avenue: tiled roof duplexes, stucco-covered arts and crafts houses, and castle-like apartment buildings.
” These structures became known as dingbats, a common developer name for a structure that was “thrown up quick and shoddily built,” as a newspaper reported at the time. The dingbat proliferated across Southern California as the region grew exponentially after World War II. With the lifting of immigration restrictions in the 1960s, what was once the most native-born large city in the country became one of the most diverse on the planet.
