apparently you didn't read my post Brudy... My point stands that the grit and rawness of Downtown Los Angeles are one of the key variables leading to its renaissance, and should be embraced ... The same thing that many here seem to want: a clean sterile downtown are the exact things that have left Brooklyn cooler than Manhattan, and Oakland cooler than SF, and on the adverse have left the sterile shells of cities past elitist and exclusive.
