After reading the LA Weekly article and combining that with a conversation I just had with the "liberal" version of Zuma Dogg. (Find a Venice Beach type, like ZD, who represents Hahn/Garcetti to a T.)

So as he was talking about what needs to happen in regards to the development future of this City; and it basically sounded exactly what the Garcetti and City Planners were preaching in the LA Weekly.

So here's what I realized: We are in a period of transition. We are at the end of the old, as they are just starting the new. But they haven't even started yet…government officials are still conceiving.

The Manhattanization of Los Angeles has a lot to do with what has happened in China.

They have taken the manufacturing industry away from the U.S. and have used the profits to steamroll the place into the skyscraper filled, George Jetson city, the City of Los Angeles hopes it can be.

They are actually ahead of us in this area, to the point that they have over-developed and polluted themselves, nearly to death.

They are going green now, the way the mayor wants to, not because they want to, but because they have to. (The effect of an "all you can eat buffet" among greedy powers that be. "Just do it now, make the money, suffer consequences later. We'll worry about the problem when it gets here.")
