Reinventing downtown Los Angeles will lead the city to maturity.
"[T]he suburban-sprawl mentality that's dominated Los Angeles has pretty uniformly segregated like with like. L.A., however, has about reached its physical limits, and a shortage of housing still exists. The central city, with its sturdy, enchanting old structures, can no longer be ignored.What's more, a young and vibrant segment of the populace has turned away from the oxymoronic concept of a suburban city. Hungry for a diverse and edgy urban life, they're devouring unconventional downtown living space as fast as it hits the market."
