Agree 100%. I have never, ever understood those who are of the belief that Downtown doesn't need to be a significant factor in urbanizing the region when it's:
1) Located at the geographic center of LA County
2) The hub of the Metro Rail and Metrolink systems (the latter providing access to/from OC, IE, and Ventura)
3) It has skyscraper and mid-rise potential over a contiguous 4.5 square miles (the size of Manhattan between 59th and 14th Streets. The potential to build one of the most impressive urban cores in the world is there.
Look at all the potential:
