The Pros and Cons of Downtown Los Angeles
Pro: Trendy Hotels
Con: Lawlessness
While the media touts the billions of dollars of new infrastructure and improvements to Downtown Los Angeles, felons and dangerously mentally ill run rampant with little law enforcement. #dtla #hotels #crime
Twenty years ago, downtown Los Angeles was a gritty, run-down neighborhood. Between 1999 and 2015, $24 billion was invested in the neighborhood, according to the Wall Street Journal. More than 700 businesses have moved in, the Arts District metamorphosed into an internationally recognized bastion of creativity and a luxury housing construction boom followed. Now, DTLA is gaining notoriety for its trendy hotels.
At the same time, Downtown L.A. has not lost its reputation as the epicenter for Southern California’s homeless problem. Prospective new residents might consider taking martial arts lessons so that they will be fully prepared for any potential altercation with a violently deranged homeless person. Fox News recently praised the action taken by a Downtown samaritan to defend a dog walker who was seriously injured by an aggressive transient armed with a wood plank and wire nail. Bystanders say they don’t feel safe because the city has gone so long letting the unruliness slide.
