The VA had also barred consultants from the campus, but Judge Carter ordered the department to allow them back on the land to prepare sites for housing — adding he'd accompany them, if necessary.
I think all your readers would love to know who is on the VA's advisory and/or oversight committee(s) to see if there's a connection to wealthy real estate interests. With property this valuable (worth in the billions) I would think there are developers salivating at the idea of being able to exploit those 400 acres. And before anyone says "that could never happen," I suggest you thumb through Kevin Starr's history of California and Dennis MacDougal's book on the history of The Los Angeles Times. Lastly, as the Santa Monica Airport is converted (into who knows what), let's see if the originally promised amount of green space shrinks to the size of 8 pickle ball courts with the rest of it developed (good luck Ocean Park homeowners with your future traffic nightmares).
