in photos of dtla...& areas to the west like century city...with all the shots of sfh tract houses making up most of the areas in between...I've wondered why LA's economy has not supported as much highrise devlpt as seen in cities of Brazil rarely heard about. These are the 3rd & 4th largest cities of brazi, one is known as Belo horizonte, the other is recife. Who's even aware they exist?
the third city is built high in the mountains of bolivia....la paz...
talking about the skyline of dtla without considering how things like the oceanwide proj end up stalled or cancelled...or never gotten off the drawing board to begin with....through the decades seems an exercise in futility. everything is dependent on this....

Isn't this what the whole L.A should have looked like albeit more modern and sleeker towers by today? The current L.A is very similar to late 70's to early 80's which shows you that not much has changed in the L.A urban high rise landscape.
