Land near Hollywood sign might be sold

According to the article, “Carswell said the parcel is farther away from the Hollywood sign than many people realize, and that at a distance, even a mansion would be a mere “speck” on the mountain,” but even a speck could damage the singular image of the sign. Or so they say.
