The lack of bathrooms is the worst part about little tokyo imo
-
Just a step outside of Little Tokyo is the largest homeless encampment in America. Be aware and be safe.

Same thing is happening on Olvera Street. The city LOVES to talk up these places, throwing in buzzwords like “historic,” “cultural,” “diversity,” giving out recognition awards, and encouraging others to “Go Metro” to take you there) but then they disappear and won’t lift a finger to actually help these businesses out. Instead, they make it harder on these legacy businesses to adhere to new, overreaching regulations (when they should be grandfathered it at this point).

Do not let this become little tokyo in nyc. The complete district got wiped post the 90s.

We MUST preserve Little Tokyo. It's such a special place.
-
The homelessness and parking ruins visiting little Tokyo sometimes.

LA what are you doing with the money!? Look outside for once! 🗑

Why is $2000 the baseline rent? Many areas in LA are RUN DOWN and overcome with crime and most STOREFRONTS “FOR LEASE”
-
It's a nice area in a city that is troubled with all it's issues.

I was born in L.A. I had to leave 18; years ago because of the economy I could just imagine how it is now. My favorite places to eat was in little Tokyo the food is fantastic. I hope and pray that everything goes well for the people who live and work there.

I love how the media loves to blame gentrification and high rent cost as the reasons, but completely ignores the homelessness and high crime problems.
-
Little Tokyo must be protected. I spent a great amount of my childhood here. Unfortunately, gentrification is pushing out those long time small businesses.

I've been in LA for over 20 years and Nijiya, Marukai, Mitsuwa on westside is closer for me so barely go there. I love some of the little Tokyo stores but the parking is always the biggest hesitation. Almost impossible to find a street parking. I usually shop at Marukai and park there w validation. They used to have Mitsuwa at that building I was going there more often. Kouraku's tenshin fried rice is the best. Hope they will find a way to survive but need more parking structures.

DOWNTOWN LA is going down hill ... I visited last month and was greeted with cracked out homeless people
-
Same thing that happened to Chinatown, Los Angeles.

I use to go to Little Tokyo every chance I got growing up in Los Angeles. There are many great restaurants, bakeries, and things to do & see. But I had to move out of California, prices on everything went sky-high, and with the high crime, high taxes, high rents, freeways that go nowhere. I remember, we use to call them parking lots. Because there's too many cars in California and your going no where come rush hour. It's not the California I remember growing up... 😞

Homelessness and crime aren’t an issue?

This is all over California. Something has to be done about investment landlords and large property management companies.
