In a given year, Urbanize LA publishes more than 900 articles covering a full range of topics from new developments to community plan updates, plus our weekend roundups of headlines from other publications. Sad to say, not everything I write winds up being a winner (at least in terms of generating traffic for the website).
With a hat tip to Josh at Urbanize Atlanta who came up with the idea, here's at 10 stories from the past year which, for whatever reason, you guys just weren't interested in reading at the time. Although based on common characteristics, I'd say that it's because they're modest affordable housing developments or townhome projects published on a Sunday. But hey, maybe they'll move up the list now that they've landed here.
