My father lived there in 1954 and had friends that lived there for years. It was a big part of my childhood. It is the most perfectly preserved buildings from the 1920s.

The way CGI Strategies has treated these tenants and this historical building should be a crime. The people are what make the history and it is clearly now in the hands of a soulless profiteering speculators who will see numbers before charm. It's a crying shame and the neighborhood and businesses will suffer with this great loss.

as the travesty of the eviction of its residents is massive and irrevocable, at least have the decency to prevent a rezoning that would allow it's conversion to a hotel

i have lived in Franklin Village for 17 years. The heart of this community is The Villa Carlotta! What is happening is a disgrace to the residents and the community. The building is a landmark of the neighborhood and should be left as it is. We don't want nor need a hotel, especially one run by such heartless, greedy people!!! Save our beloved Carlotta and our little hideaway.

Tenants have been through hell for two years now, after the building was sold twice. The ones who were expelled live far away and are miserable. The Carlotta community is the heart of Franklin Village. The historical, cultural and social importance of the Carlotta as it is, with these tenants, and with rent-control, is priceless for Hollywood and the City of Los Angeles

I am a resident of the Villa Carlotta, and I want to thank the people who started this petition. What is happening to us will continue happening in greater Los Angeles unless there is meaningful reform of the Ellis Act. Hope to see people at our public event on Tuesday, 4/21 @ 3pm for a public demonstration!

I hope the residents are able to return to their homes. What a beautiful community. ❤️

My God be with you on this journey.
