It will be, but it may be in a way that I won't necessarily want.
This forum has ppl who obsess over the height of new bldgs, about whether the plans for Pershing sq are a dud or not, whether new apt towers should have parking podiums or not, about whether the color of the grand ave proj is bad or not....ok, I obsess over dry fountains & the need to get rid of parking lots. If I'm negative, you better believe lots of other ppl are too. And then some.
I at least always welcome positive stories, pics & good vids about dtla, whether posted here or elsewhere. But I won't play blind & deaf when info, pics or vids don't go my way.
This person starting at 6:19 can't be written off as a lying about the city...

Regardless, I still at first wondered if she were possibly doing an underhanded report for some anti american reasons. So I checked out her other vids. She did one a few days ago & took just the opposite tact about nyc compared with her opinion of LA.....so I don't think she's a plant hired by an anti LA group. Or that guy from the AIDS foundation who is always suing devlprs in LA. lol.
Everyone in LA, including me, is guilty in different ways for what's going on. For either turning a blind eye to what's really bad & instead complaining about new bldgs being too short, or the moat around the dwp bldg being dry & an embarrassment, or GH palmer's faux Tuscan apt projs making dtla seem clownish, or too many ppl in LA favoring cars over transit, or thinking parking lots are better than new devlpt that's not architecturally impressive enough....
Ppl running local govts...who shape public policy....& police depts & the court system are particularly guilty of hurting LA.
