LA is reorientating itself to become more urban, but it's not growing. I know this forum is generally right-wing/libertarian leaning but pointing out a few new downtown buildings and some trendy boutique shops is a really shallow indicator of growth.

Again......must I repost everything I have already written...... your statement "L.A. is not growing either"......... in what universe is it not growing? its literally bursting at the seams.. reason why L.A is starting to build up and not out. or economy is growing, population is growing and so on....we are growing at a very good and steady pace..... and we are the largest economy on the west coast., from the way it looks, we will always be the main gateway on the west coast......
Public health services.... again....L.A. county has some of the best hospitals in the nation and many are upgrading and adding to their facilities. now if you are referring to homeless people not having adequate health care.... I work at a hospital and trust me... they have access if they choose to use it and all the free clinics around the city...L.A. public health is doing just fine ! if not the best since pre recession times....
Your next statement " everyone here thinks L.A. begins downtown and stops at the 405".... No one is forgetting the L.A. that continues below the 10..... ive seen plenty of people on here mentioning most of ALL of L.A.....which leads to my next observation of another one of your statements that made me scratch my head......."pointing out a few new downtown buildings and some trendy boutique shops is a really shallow indicator of growth".............so than basically your saying you don't get out that much..... HAVE YOU VENTURED SOUTH OF THE 10 FWY YOURSELF???? development is going crazy ALL OVER THE METRO, Long Beach, LAX, most of the south bay, stretches along the 605, I drove through Compton and than the city of south gate, pretty much the heart of south central, and I saw some huge redevelopments going on in parts of those cities. and not to mention that Hollywood park is being torn down in Inglewood.... yes it was a landmark but what's replacing it will surely help Inglewood in the long run.
Yes this particular thread says L.A. Metro and I agree that most of the updates are geared towards developments stretching from the 110 to santa monica but to post EVERY development in the L.A. metro would take atleast 20 of the first pages of this thread alone. So you crying that L.A isn't growing and that its riddled with problems.....well maybe you should get out more. its only looking bright to me compared to 10 years ago. and the 90's... yeah.. we are doing just fine. we ALL know the problems of L.A....... we live here and see it everyday..... we don't need a few people on here to point them out randomly every time they log on like we forgot what they just posted yesterday? relax.
