that was originally a weak point since it made it much easier for ppl to abandon dtla starting over 50 yrs ago. But that was also due to dt never being a very appealing place to live & work....particularly to live....even when there were fewer competing centers throughout LA.
some ppl, esp here since this is, after all, a website that attracts fans of highrises, think the be all & end all of a great city is the number of super talls & towers, & lots of density. I don't believe that's as important for a city like LA.....which would be a case of same old, same old if it were a clone of chicago or NYC.....than it be mainly improved so it's a more attractive place to be a part of.....high density or low, highrise or lowrise.
the biggest problem with dt are things like the tinker toy parking structure across from disney hall seen in this vid. the update page of the LA planning dept shows the permit to tear it down still hasn't been approved. what's the hold up?! hurry up!
