This is the new arts high school built by the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Isn’t it…something?
Guess how much it cost to build?
a) $90 million
b) $150 million
c) $232 millionKeep in mind that the state of California is in the midst of a severe budget crisis. LAUSD teachers are being furloughed, summer school has been canceled, classrooms are overcrowded, older schools are in disrepair. So maybe this wasn’t the best way to spend $232m.
The most disappointing thing: that tower does not, in fact, include a water slide.
For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

Billy! Jason! Zordon! Bulk and Skull! Alpha 5! The Megazords!!!
Who wants to write the reboot movie with me? Bay, Abrams and McG got nothing on my Power Rangers. Besides, nothing says automatic green light to a Hollywood studio like an already established franchise.
