L.A. Cityscape in Warehouse Area

While I appreciate the writing skills and almost hypnotic theatricality of your article, what is the purpose of such a piece?

I think most of us know that this particularly foul depraved world is there. Please don’t sensationalize it. Don’t advertise it. Don’t take pictures of it. Believe me, as a downtown worker, I feel closer and closer each day to “Blade Runner.” I would like to see at least a standstill in this downward slide, if not a complete reversal. Please give us some answers, not more lurid depictions of the terrible dark side of man.
