Why is Hollywood so lonely - Blvd etc?

[mary_davis75]

I was walking down Hollywood Blvd the other day and noticed that a majority of the cool historical buildings there are completely abandoned. It would seem like the area could be a genuinely cool place to live in but it’s filled with empty buildings and shitty souvenir shops. Anybody know how it ended up like this?

I think we’re on year 20 of the revitalization of Hollywood. It sucks approximately 20% less than it did 20 years ago.

Believe it or not, 30 years ago Pasadena looked like this. Developers came in and started renovating, stores came in and now you see what it is. I believe the same thing will happen in Hollywood eventually.

And god forbid you need to leave around the same time Pantages or a big movie lets out, you might be 4 stories down in the garage with 45+ minutes until you see the sky again

Parking in arts district makes absolutely no sense for the amount of attractions. I hope they realize this and do something about it before the area goes to shit.
