colemonkee, I notice you edited my previous post that contained a comment about dtla from the blog of a visitor from europe. When someone like that responds the way he does, & undoubtedly stumbles across parts of the hood not much better than what's visible from the hotels at LA live, you have to admit that the average person isn't going to go

Or cuz it won't have stores on the 1st floor, or plazas with enough seating, or won't meet the sidewalk in a friendly enough way. Or will be a bldg that is too short, & made of wood instead of steel. Or cuz the red line or expo lines are such & such....
we should be so lucky if those were THE big challenges bringing down the hood & its reputation.
