The Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee of the Los Angeles City Council meets next Tuesday to consider the CHC's (Cultural Heritage Commission) recommendation to landmark the former East Hollywood residence of the poet and novelist Charles Bukowski at 5124 De Longpre Ave. This story has already received international press attention due to the landlords' false allegations that Bukowski was a Nazi sympathizer, which the CHC ruled against.
The modest bungalow on an East Hollywood side street is where Bukowski wrote "Post Office" and "Factotum," where "Women" was set, and more importantly, the place where he willed himself into being as a writer.
Now that the landlords' lawyer's Nazi accusations have failed to influence the CHC Committee, what other dirty tricks will be introduced to clear the way for the landlords to sell this important literary residence as a $1.3 million tear down, as previously advertised on Craigslist.
