You don’t see any construction in DTLA? Are we both living in 2017?

It seems like every other day a new 40+ story mixed-use tower, with requisite parking structure, is breaking ground around here.

The thing that baffled me about downtown’s parking situation was how so many otherwise undeveloped parking lots managed to stick around given the opportunity cost of land downtown. That was until I realized a production crew can’t set up base camp in a parking garage.

Sorry, of parking structures is what I meant. I work in DTLA.

I am always marveled when I go to SM. Huge modern parking structures on every block.

Parking lots are speculators.
