LA City College also has a lot of commuters. I am now seeing more Trader Joes bags..people who shop at the Hollywood location. I take it to TJs a couple of times a month from Downtown. The Expo line will connect USC, Leimert Park area, Culver City and eventually Santa Monica which will give the commute more diversity. I am so bullish on Downtown because of the rail options.

I'm sure when the Expo Line finishes you'll be seeing a lot more white people. Same with the Purple, and whatever line ends up hitting West Hollywood. The question is, though, why does it matter? L.A. is great for being such a diverse city. If anything, the dearth of white people just show how diverse our city is.
