Opinion: L.A. may herd Super Bowl champ Rams from the city
The casually arrogant legalized corruption in Los Angeles City Hall staggers the imagination. Take City Councilmember Bob Blumenfield. Please.
Now Blumenfield is rather shockingly hinting at an intention to extort concessions from the owner of the Los Angeles Rams, Stan Kroenke, who recently bought the Promenade mall site in Woodland Hills. Maybe it’s not shocking. It’s business as usual at Los Angeles City Hall. The former site of luxury retailers became “blighted,” according to Blumenfield, who eagerly worked with the mall company to “entitle” the 34-acre property to become a sort of mini-Manhattan.
None of that mattered to the city, which went ahead and “fully entitled” this gargantuan mega-project. Then something unexpected happened. The mall company sold the property for $150 million. The deal closed in March. Now the buyer has been revealed to be the billionaire owner of the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams.
