I'm going to guess that Koreans are going to drive the gentrification of Westlake (plus some hipsters). You constantly see people in the LA Korean press talk about how clean, uncrowded, new and full of opportunities LA is.
You can walk along Wilshire and around Lafayette Park to see the Korean encroachment from the west. And, over time, the Latinos become more stable and wealthier as well, assuming a reasonable economy.
