I'd much rather see DTLA to strive for the kind of development you see in a place like Portland rather than Times Square.

I think Ginza in Tokyo looks beautiful!

And plus, residents in Tokyo use Ginza as much as tourists, as the street is always closed down on Sundays geared more towards residents.
"Ginza is a popular destination on weekends, when the main north-south artery is closed to traffic. The traffic blockade began in the 1960s under governor Ryokichi Minobe."
