Los Angeles on the Verge

City wonk and Brookings Institution Vice President Bruce Katz totally believes in Los Angeles, he tells Los Angeles mag. He spouts a lot of buzzword nonsense about it, but that doesn't mean he's wrong: "There's so much connectivity in Los Angeles. It's one of the most demographically diverse metropolitan centers in the United States. There's just a constant sense of formative energy in Los Angeles, so what you are now seeing with cultural institutions and the infrastructure projects—the reimagining of the physical development of the city—is Los Angeles coming into its own."
