DTLA is the hippest place in Southern California by a mile, which tells me all I need to know about its trajectory: complete and total gentrification. The fact that you're not picking up on this and instead are focusing on crap like the Target tells me all I need to know about you: you're a shut-in.  |
it appears your definition of downtown's human fabric relies on the nightlife and scene-obsessed "concept" restaurants which depend almost completely on patrons who drive from miles away to get a taste of a "real city", and don't actually live downtown. how shallow.
currently, dtla is an island of hipster-daddy's money surrounded by mostly latino neighborhoods which, despite being improverished, aren't self-conscious suburban homages to "city life" like dtla is becoming
but just because i can tell the difference shouldn't stop you from drinking the kool-aid
