He has been nominated three times for the Pulitzer Prize in distinguished commentary and has won numerous awards from organizations such as the National Headliners Club, the California Newspaper Publishers Association, the Los Angeles Press Club and the California Taxpayers Association.The number of units now completed or underway debunks naysayers who claimed when the idea first arose that conversions would be more difficult to get permitted than new buildings.
