Michael,

I like the concept of live and work units.  At one point Santa Monica was trying to get developers to build these type of units especially above retail.  This type of set up is great for those in creative fields.  I enjoyed reading this post on the condition of the market for Lake@Walnut.  And if somebody is interested in either selling or buying, you are the go to person in all things Pasadena.
