They could have bought blocks of DTLA and made a huge contribution to the public good. They chose to build a private palace unto themselves instead. The lack of Public Space in LA helps create a craziness I choose to leave after many years.

There is a narcissistic quality to LA's public institutions that seem more concerned with their own aggrandizement than how they can contribute to the city and its fabric.

Bravo for all DTLA has become! I admire the positive changes that are occurring. Now create a large and truly public gathering space and DTLA will be on its way to becoming World Class.
