your & sopas' comments would be good responses to those urbanists who through the yrs have questioned why more hoods in LA don't have sidewalk dining, or more of such things. Your comments also would be surprising to any person----esp outsiders living hundreds of miles away----who assume certain things about the way that climate helps or doesn't help LA.
from a business standpoint, I still suspect that operating a rooftop restaurant like the Perch in a much wetter, colder climate just about guarantees lots of red ink for the owner. That's even truer if your POV on outdoor vs indoor businesses in LA, no less, are shared by more than a few ppl.
