The same people who think of Santa Monica when you say 'Lets go to Third Street.' Things sound much better when they are organic. And I'm not talking about Trader Joes.

DTLA should have retail yes but a mall? No. We already have a crappy one (Macy's Plaza). I'd be 100% on board if Macy's Plaza were to undergo a Santa Monica Place type renovation but I don't want to see malls all over DTLA. If there WERE to be a mall, it should be something like LA Central. Or just build LA Central.
