Their workspaces are now $3M lofts. Why would we want to avoid this?
are you serious or is that satire?

Yeah, because New York City absolutely sucks now that all the artists and urban pioneers have been relocated to New Jersey, Bronx or Queens!
Sorry peeps, this is evolution. It sucks, but each city/neighborhood that has a ton of attraction goes in this direction. It's about demand. Downtown LA didn't have the demand before, but it does now. New York, London, Paris, Chicago, Tokyo, SF, etc... all found ways to adjust because their urban centers became areas of demand. Though this scares people in LA, it's just evolving into a hotbed of demand. It's new...and frightening! LA is growing up, that's what I see!
We can always get some sort of affordable housing built in, but it won't be like it was before. But anyways...downtown LA 2011 > downtown LA 2005. You cannot deny that. Anybody really feel safe walking around 5th, 6th, 7th, Broadway, Main or Spring in 2005 compared to 2011?
