It's kinda crazy that there's that much space available in LA to develop but it's there. I bet the ponies a number of times at the track but the horses have been gone for awhile. It would be kinda cool if they kept the casino that's still there but they won't.
Inglewood has gotten a lot better over the years, it's actually become a decent place to find good rent/mortgages... I can only imagine what this will do to property values around the area....
Yeah and what the devs will do is start buying up the run down neighborhoods and rebuilding them so it's about to get a lot nicer. Those who sell will be able to buy some nice homes elsewhere too.
I think the most successful example of reinvigorating a downtown is San Diego. The Gas Lamp district, which is true downtown SD, is stunning. If you had gone there 30 years ago and compare it to now it's night and day. Such a beautiful, beautiful city now. I still go down there to hang with old buds and tear up the bars, it's amazing down there.
Now LA is going to have a similar thing going on there and with the airport nearby that entire section of the city is about to get a massive overhaul over the next 10 years.
