South Park is great, I walk there often, but most of the folks that live there don't take their guests to LA Live, they take them to a cafe on Spring Street. Removing the grit (read swapmeets, street vendors, dive bars, hole in the wall eateries) will turn Downtown in to an inner city version of Victoria Gardens or the Spectrum (see Santa Monica, Old Pas)
lol no

"gentrifiers" move to those places because they've been priced out of the more desirable neighborhoods.
