Can architecture change the perception, and practice, of policing? Frances Anderton chats with police, public and designers about the fancy new precinct stations in LA. Plus Keenen Wayans and his 16,000 square feet "sustainable" house. No, that not a joke. And City Councilman Kevin McKeown makes the case for an Eli Broad art museum in Santa Monica.
