　　重要的背景閱讀：

　　洛杉磯是美國人口第二大的城市(second most populous city after New York)，但由于20世紀開始的郊區化發展(suburbanization),住在西邊的富人厭倦了城區的擁塞(Commuters from the affluent communities of West Los Angeles became tired of the hellish traffic )，開始把商業重新規劃到附近的非中心區域，甚至移到加州其他辦公中心。自此，洛杉磯的城區開始衰敗(lost it’s sheen)，顯出一幅塵土積壓的景象(a gritty, rundown neighborhood)。1999年洛杉磯推出《適應性再利用法令》，鼓勵將老舊的歷史商業建筑改造成住宅和閣樓，讓人們重新回到市中心，令老城散發出新的生機。
