^ Yes, you are seeing the slow, yet consistent and insidious (to NIMBYs) urbanization of LA. The Aqua Line will finally put metro in many people's minds as it finally connects part of the the salient Westside with DTLA and the rest of the region.

My only concern is that there are so many other areas of the Westside that are filled with culture, character, and beautiful architecture that are not on the drawing board for rail connection. We're talking 3rd St, Beverly, and Melrose (and all the residential streets that branch off of those major thoroughfares).

I also think it is a HUGE mistake that Metro has not included Robertson Blvd./Wilshire Blvd. for its planned stations for the Purple Line. Robertson is a major intersection with access to a lot more "stuff" north of the Wilshire.
