The project offered a chance to cover dozens of topics, while staying on top of the politics and behind-the-scenes moves. This story highlights one of the highly-questioned and attacked Great Park decisions: flying politicians and city planners to Europe and New York to assess the work of the three final design team applicants.Read More →
