Danny, you really neeed to check out Downtown L.A. for yourself. I've never felt unsafe there. Unfrotunately, Angel's Flight is no longer running (at least for now), but the two different downtowns it bridged have a lot of interesting sites for the urban explorer. Bunker Hill area has the Museum of Modern Art, the renovated and greatly expanded library, the spectacular watercourt fountain (becomes a raging ocean every 15 minutes), a lot of outdoor art gardens, and, on weekends, almost devoid of people. Olviera Street, the first commercial street in LA, Chinatown, Little Tokyo (the "Temporary" Contemporary Geffen art museum), etc. Lots of Conservancy tours (not just palaces, but classic twenties buildings as well, Grand Central Station, a masterpiece of depression design, check out the cool subway stations (catch one to Hollywood and Vine and check out their movie palace theme, complete with two authentic Simplex projectors courtesy of Paramount studios and LITEERALLY thousands of 2000 foot 35mm film reels covering the arched ceiling).
