Peter Hong, who has been covering the Phil Spector murder trial for the Los Angeles Times, is joing the paper’s business news desk to cover residential real estate, according to a memo from business editor Davan Maharaj posted on LA Observed.
“Much of Peter’s investigative work has dealt with land use. He uncovered Los Angeles City Councilman Nate Holden’s ties to night club owners who lavished him with campaign cash and expensive gifts and revealed the flouting of fire codes and safety laws in downtown’s loft conversions.
