I've noticed a thread that seems to run through some of the comments on this blog where a poster talks about wanting LA to become more like other cities that they admire. That was a lament I frequently made when I lived in LA. It was why I was disappointed with the Pershing Square renovation..........I wanted it to look more like the public spaces I had seen in other cities.
Eventually I came to realize that LA is a very unique city in this country with its own very distinctive style. Sure it can and will become a more walkable, more urbane city........but it will still be LA and will come with all the trappings that that name connotes. It was why I moved to a city that more fit my vision. I finally conceded that LA was not about to change in a direction that I wanted. It was going to do it its way and that would not make me happy.
