Talk:Hancock Park, Los Angeles

message: As a native of the west side, I never thought of La Cienega as being where the west side ends. The 310 area code ends at La Cienega, however, the independent municipalities of Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and Culver City all include territory east of La Cienega (although only a small portion of Culver City is east of La Cienega), and the Fairfax District also straddles La Cienega. As Culver City's eastern border is at Fairfax, and Beverly Hills' eastern border is between La Cienega and Crescent Heights, I'd consider Fairfax to be the eastern border. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.160.122.71 (talk • contribs) 01:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This diff was boldly made with the Editorial Comment "Minor cleanup. Affluence is relative, there are lower income apartments in the area as well. The justification that the entire Hancock Park neighborhood is affluent is inaccurate." I reversed the change on the grounds that the lede simply presages what the article says later, i.e. that Hancock Park's  "median yearly household income in 2008 dollars was $85,277, a relatively high figure for Los Angeles, and a high percentage of households earned $125,000 or more" and that "56.2% of those aged aged 25 and older [had]  . . .  earned a four-year degree. The percentage of residents with a master's degree was high for the county." The article also states that "The neighborhood surrounds the grounds of the Wilshire Country Club." I don't mind modifying the lede to "mostly affluent" or "relatively high-income" if that is acceptable. GeorgeLouis (talk) 01:45, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

*Comments about living in Hancock Park
My deletion was reverted, so I am bringing it here per WP:BRD. IMO this link should go. It is not to a reliable or informational site - merely to a string of random comments from random, anonymous people expressing their feelings about the neighborhood. More suitable for social media than for an encyclopedia. Other opinions? --MelanieN (talk) 03:53, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not wedded to this, but the letters were vetted by the L.A. Times, so it would seem to be just fine to use here. Whatever the consensus agrees on is OK by me. GeorgeLouis (talk) 05:10, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  I see nothing to suggest that these were "letters" "vetted" by the LA Times. This is just a say-whatever-you-like, anonymous online comment section, attached to the LA Times neighborhood listing for Hancock Park. It attracted a grand total of nine comments over a year and a half, one of which was nothing more than a nasty swipe at one of the other comment writers. There is nothing here worth linking to. On the other hand, it might be worthwhile to post a link to the actual LAT profile of the neighborhood (to which this comments section attaches) - it can be found at http://projects.latimes.com/mapping-la/neighborhoods/neighborhood/hancock-park/ . --MelanieN (talk) 06:56, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I am persuaded and now have no objection to the removal of that link. GeorgeLouis (talk) 11:13, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: And meanwhile I persuaded myself to replace it with the neighborhood profile link. Isn't discussion wonderful? 0;-D --MelanieN (talk) 14:37, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

message: The paragraph describing the residence of the British Consul-General currently contains this sentence: "The residence is at the Hancock Park address of 450 S. June St., Los Angeles, CA 90004, and backs the Wilshire Country Club." I believe this description actually conflates two different addresses. 450 South June St, Los Angeles, CA 90020, appears to be the actual Consul-General residence, as its exterior (see, for example, Google Maps) matches the photos in this LA Times story (https://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2011/07/prince-william-kate-los-angeles-british-consul-generals-residence.html) and those on the site of architect Ronald Chang, who oversaw the renovations of the Consul-General residence (https://www.ronaldchang.org/blank). 450 S. June St. does not back up to the Wilshire Country Club. The other address, 450 North June St., Los Angeles, CA 90004, is also in Hancock Park, but is built in an entirely different architectural style, closer to Tudor Revival than the Spanish Colonial Revival of the home identified as Consul-General residence in those other sources. This second house, 450 N. June St., is the one that actually backs up to the Wilshire Country Club.
Given this information, I'm going to revise the sentence to identify 450 S. June St, Los Angeles, CA 90020 (note the corrected zip code) as the actual address of the Consul-General residence, and I will remove the reference to the Wilshire Country Club. I'm also going to eliminate the UK.gov link (https://www.gov.uk/world/organisations/british-consulate-general-los-angeles), as it now directs to a page that gives no information about the residence (presumably the result of an update to the site itself). I could not find an archived version of this page from 2011.
Please feel free to correct these adjustments if you have any additional information.SquidPebblePoliceman (talk) 05:17, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
