It looks exactly the same, minus the Dennards restaurant on the roof. Long beach calls them "Lofts" and there are small retail businesses on the ground level floor facing the street. All of what Woof said is happening everywhere. my neighborhood was once filled with all single story ranch houses. Now, the developers are buying up ALL of the for sale houses to squeeze a minimum 2 units on each lot. The lots not zoned for multiple housing receive the big 2 story box with no backyard and a patch of grass frontyard treatment. They call it "Mediteranean" style, but we just call it ****.
