My only comment is to the "pioneering" efforts of Tom Gilmore and his ilk: the writing is on the wall, literally, for many of the SRO buildings in skid row that serve as the only affordable housing for those most in need. I fear that until more city planners and policy makers become "pioneers" of solving the problem of homelessness and poverty in LA, Tom Gilmore's relentless push towards gentrification only acts to push those Excellent analysis.

While a break from the "inward=turning, reflexive" design referred to is a welcome change, it will also be satisfying to view the contrast as a chronicle of the city's evolution over the last 60 years. Will you address the area around Union Station in your next submission? I am impregnated with a nascent appreciation for emerging architectural trends in my city.

I am a firm believer that current and future downtown development should incorporate affordable housing for lower-income individuals, because those individuals make up a critical part of the workforce in Los Angeles. I am happy to note that a number of future developments, including the Gehry-designed Grand Avenue Project, will incorporate affordable housing. I hope to write for d/visible on this particular issue in future, as well, in an effort to highlight the challenges downtown LA will face as it gentrifies and grows. M,
