The slow, decades long decline of DT has been one of the major failings in this part of the country. Totally inexcusable. It's meant that there's been very few or almost no truly urban experiences & settings left in LA.
The remaining hoods like SaMo or manhattan bch, or pasadena or Century city, weho or Bev Hills, or the OC are OK----maybe even very nice----& all, but they're still more burban than urban. I know there's some urbanism in DTLB, but that alone isn't enough.
It's really time that DTLA start moving right to the top.
BTW, I hope your DCBID housing tour last weekend didn't make you suspect that new lofts & apts are starting to struggle in finding buyers & renters. Over the past several wks, I've heard a few radio ads for the LT lofts, & there's supposed to be a new billboard somewhere around west LA that's promoting the ralph's/market lofts proj.
