Approximately 50% of the local housing stock consists of single-family detached homes, most of which are modestly-sized ranches and bungalows on small lots. As of this writing, construction is well underway on the controversial but critically acclaimed Playa Vista (http://www.playavista.com) high-density mixed-use development, on the site of the former Hughes Aerospace factory and a part of the Del Rey/Ballona wetlands. The project has already attracted large numbers of tenants and buyers for residential and office space, but has been dramatically scaled back in the face of community and environmentalist opposition.
