Be real tho, how often do you come to DTLA from SM?!
DTLA is probably the fastest growing area in LA right now. Many things poppin up left & right and people are taking notice.
Will it have the luxury that SM has to offer? No... but it's providing an element that young adults are gravitating towards, can't deny that. But there is the Skid Row component of it that will continue to be a big eye sore to DTLA.
People stay within their bubble/comfort zone in LA. People on the westside stay west, and vice versa for people closer to the city. I can vouch for South Bay, as I work in the area. Hermosa pier & Manhattan Beach hasn't let me down
There's options of ladies everywhere in SoCal
