that would seem more the case if alot of this starts happening very shortly....
nd those are just the tip of the iceberg.
When I was in the hood several months ago, the thing that caught me off guard is how much of dt....definitely around the southern sections....still really needs to be cleaned up & razed. One of the reasons I got lulled into believing dt was better than it really is cuz of all the improvements that have taken place over the past few yrs. But also cuz of all the discussions in this forum, where, again, we spend so much time worrying about bldgs not being taller, or not having a great design, or having parking podiums instead of retail, that I found myself forgetting what the hood is really still like.
btw, mojeda, I replied to your post about your recent trip, which has since been deleted, cuz it strayed beyond the topics of this forum. But I did include a link to a
blog that does contain a section relevant to this thread, cuz it relates to someone visiting dtla. And I think that does fit the purpose of this thread, cuz new devlpt....how much of it, & how successful it will be or won't be....is very dependent on how ppl feel about the hood....ppl who are staying in hotels in dt, who work in the hood, who shop there, or who are living there. iow, if too many ppl feel
about dt, then all those
things visible from the hotels at LA live are gonna take even longer to go farewell & sayonara.
