Whoa & yikes!
It's good to dream & think big, but keep in mind that the hood where that big Toys R Us is located attracts a HUGE, HUGE number of ppl, of office workers, of tourists, or day trippers, of residents (many with lots of $$), of burbanites enjoying a day in the city.
Look at all the large office bldgs throughout midtown NYC, full of major companies & their employees, or huge hotels, often full of tourists, or big ol apt bldgs, packed with tenants. Add to that mix a large pool of burbanites who are drawn to the city the way bees are drawn to honey, & you have ppl, ppl, ppl, everywhere.
So far, there's too much about DT LA that, by comparison, is almost the extreme opposite to what's found in the hood where that Toys R Us's flagship store is located.
