Description
An absorbing, insightful account of the evolution of Los Angeles over a fifty-year period.
In his no-nonsense, straightforward writing style, Nick Patsaouras takes readers behind the scenes, where colossal egos clashed, where politics prevailed over principles, and where the art of compromise flourished.
Nick is a true insider whose vision and persistence prevailed and made a monumental difference. The insights and wisdom he gained from all these endeavors are woven throughout this book, making it a must-read for anyone with even a passing interest in Los Angeles' recent past and future.
Nick Patsaouras arrived from Athens at age seventeen. After establishing a successful electrical engineering firm, Nick decided to give back to his adopted city. He served on boards that oversee Los Angeles' zoning appeals and its Department of Water and Power as well as the region's transit systems. In his latter role, he spearheaded the development of the region`s subway and light rail lines and advocated for bus services. Nick became a volunteer "Mr. Fix-It" for a succession of Los Angeles mayors and county supervisors who asked him to oversee vital public infrastructure projects.
