I really think DT Santa Monica is a great model for the rest of L.A. Country. Dense, urban, but still low-risy enough for NIMBYS not to spew there shit everywhere. If a quarter of L.A. country looked like DT Santa Monica does, then it would be in great shape.

My thoughts exactly. In most areas 5-7 is either acceptable to the locals or they will not oppose it strongly. And it is much more conducive to looking and feeling like a real city than scattered high-rises among vacant lots and sfh's.
But I think SM is a bit too restrictive on height.
