``We like to call it the world's largest backlot down here,'' said Gregory Freeman, a vice president at the Economic Development Corporation and one of the authors of the airport report. The massive plan, announced by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Universal Studios President Ron Meyer at Universal Studios Hollywood theme park, would place the homes on 124 acres of undeveloped hillside behind the studios' backlot.
