The Grand scheme
This is the downtown that Frank Gehry wanted. When will LA's leaders give it to us?
"If you think that somehow a bigger convention center is key to downtown revitalization, or is going to do wonders for local job creation, or economic development? The answer is, you've got to be kidding"
How can LA come together when officials are so averse to people spontaneously gathering that the city's first reaction is to take more public space away?
"This was originally supposed to be a 'no-build' Olympics, and that's what the commitment was to the public"
