Platinum Triangle finally has a place people can hang out now before a game besides Del Taco and Dennys.

It a concrete lined river…it should be revitalize like the Los Angeles River.

Sure, it needs more homeless.

Or is surrounded by lush green grass and a few hundred oak trees as if the Honda Center is located in Kentucky instead of Southern California?

Here's the reality of the Santa Ana River alongside the Honda Center...

Anaheim’s OCVibe wins approval, clearing way for entertainment district around Honda Center

Council members’ unanimous approval of the OCVibe project was a noticeable change in tone from the past few months.

www.ocregister.com

The OCVibe project in Anaheim could start construction by the end of the year, after getting the OK from the Anaheim City Council on Tuesday.

The nearly 100-acre entertainment district anchored by the Honda Center is planned to include a 5,700-seat concert venue, a public park with an outdoor amphitheater, about a dozen new restaurants and a food hall, two hotels, offices, and 1,500 apartments, of which 195 would be designated for lower-income residents.

Anaheim Ducks owners and local philanthropists Henry and Susan Samueli are behind OCVibe; their management team now operates the city-owned Honda Center and ARTIC transit station and will oversee the development of the new entertainment district.

Up to $400 million in bonds will help pay for the development. The city’s financing authority would issue the bonds, which would be repaid by revenue from the Honda Center; city taxpayers would not be on the hook to cover any payments....

But where will all the disfranchised go? How much of that is low income?

195 apartment units of the 1,500 new units are "lower income", which generally means less than $75,000 year for a single person, or $100,000 for a married couple.

It's not actually "low income", it's just a bit lower income than the market rates can pull in naturally.

Uh, gang, if you haven't already go check out the OC Vibe ocV!BE website. It's hysterical!

It's full of generic clip art that has absolutely nothing to do with Orange County, professional hockey, or even any known reality. And the names they have given specific buildings and areas are a laugh riot.

Here is something called The Woonerf. I just have no idea what that could even mean, or allude to. Do you? It appears to be a walkway along some apartments. Woonerf!

Maybe it's an obscure reference to Lawrence Welk, and the way he said "wunnerful, wunnerful!"???

Back in the 90s ESPN had an event here called Jet Jam and they filled up the river in front of Honda Center with water. Looked nice compared to that concrete crap.

This slat wood style is already outdated. Looks like a budget Westfield Century City.

Isn't that what Commander Worf said after kissing Deanna Troi?

Oh, like the L.A. freeways.

I like the idea of the place, but despise the name.

It reminds me of a place where these people would hang out.

Ah. Of course! This is how the creators of ocV!BE will be honoring and celebrating the rich hertitage of Dutch and Flanders culture that thrives in central OC.

When I think of Santa Ana, I just naturally associate it with... Amsterdam in Springtime when every windowbox and sidewalk planter bursts forth with tulips. And when I drive east on Katella towards Stanton, I'm reminded of the charming and bustling canals of Rotterdam.

The culture and peoples of central Orange County owe much to the waves of Dutch migrants who still thrive in OC, also known as The Holland Of The West.

Is this Rotterdam? No, this is actually a photo of Harbor Blvd. ocV!BE will honor this local culture.

They're going to call a walkway between an apartment building and a Starbucks a "Woonerf".

The mind boggles how cheesy developers sit there in a conference room and think that this actually makes sense or fools anyone into thinking it's not just a walkway between an apartment building and a Starbucks.

 

[TP2000]

I like the idea of the place, but despise the name.

Agreed. It's stupid to spell it like that. It's just painful, really.

But then, this is a group calling walkways "Woonerfs", so spelling OC Vibe as ocV!BE is not surprising.

I wonder what they've got in the water cooler at the ocV!BE office?

OC: The Vibe!

OC: The Vibe!

That's great! Perfect.

And then you could have branded sub-districts... OC: The Woonerf!
