Because LA was largly built on the promise of owning a backyard, residents don’t have an overwhelming need for public parks. But as we see LA rapidly urbanize with more people moving into places like DTLA and Koreatown and into high-density developments, it needs to become more of a priority to have parks throughout these areas. The LA River is maybe the most important large scale public space that can have the greatest impact because it cuts right down the middle of LA.
