I think as Broadway continues it's gentrification, you'll see more attention .
Downtown will never fully representt LA's population, but to me, between downtown LA and Santa Monica does and it's pretty awesome.

DTLA has a healthy population, IMO. I have a place in the arts district and it is steadily increasing in activity. The Historic Core is on fire. They just need to do something about the homeless as it is out of control. I do NOT envy the nighttime security guards at the LA Cafe.
