This website has helped me understand what Los Angeles used to look like, and why so much (i.e. Bunker Hill) is gone. I've always thought that when the tracks of the Pacific Electric Railway ("Red Cars") were removed, it was as if Los Angeles' arteries had literally been ripped out of its body, because most of the city and the communities of Southern California were built around the Red Car. Now that I understand what happened to Fort Moore, etc., I wonder: if, for example, the City of San Francisco decided to slice off the top of Nob Hill, would its citizens allow it?
