Alissa Walker on Mike Davis' legacy and how surprisingly few physical changes there have been in L.A. since his City of Quartz.

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

Mike Davis, who died yesterday at 76, served as both the reluctant prognosticator-in-chief for L.A. and a guide to the overlapping urban crises that now cascade across U.S. cities with alarming frequency. A remembrance from @awalkerinLA: https://t.co/6jwZpl3yv3

This beautifully creative project is a joy to explore and as a side effect makes us want to read or re-read every one of those books! Los Angeles' character is ever-changing, evasive, and so much fun to pursue.
