The designers of the planned NFL stadium are aiming for more than just football; they envision a sports arena-centered urban utopia with housing, parks, shops and a lake. But critics wonder how it will impact the rest of city. Kali Nikitas, Erin Aubry Kaplan and Inglewood Mayor James Butts discuss gentrification, public engagement and. . . Trader Joe's. Plus, the Sturges House in Brentwood Heights has a pedigree that includes both Frank Lloyd Wright and John Lautner. Now it is up for sale.
