To the editor: I’ve an thought about what to do with the deserted Oceanwide Plaza towers in downtown Los Angeles. (“Clear and safe your tagged high-rise or we’ll do it for you, LA tells homeowners,” February 8)
When he ran for mayor of Los Angeles, billionaire developer Rick Caruso mentioned his administration would construct hundreds of properties for the homeless. Now could be the time for him to step up and put his cash the place his mouth is.
Get the primary builders to promote the property to him for $1. He can end the towers, after which he can flip all of the residences into housing for homeless Angelenos.
Drawback solved. Town will little doubt help this and he can turn out to be a hero for Los Angeles.
And naturally he might identify them Caruso Towers.

To the editor: Mayor Karen Bass and the Metropolis Council ought to know that the Chinese language firm Oceanwide Holdings won’t ever reimburse the town for any upkeep prices incurred to safe the deserted property.
So the town ought to take the property now and develop it into low-income or homeless housing. Important providers—similar to medical and psychiatric care and assist working by way of public paperwork—might be included on website at road degree.
Cease wringing your arms, metropolis leaders – take it, and take it now. Use my tax {dollars} properly.
