Writer D.J. Waldie considers the remarkable individual who has caused downtown Los Angeles' rebirth.
"Downtown's direction used to be set by something called the Committee of 25 (always described as "shadowy" for the noir qualities of the committee's role).
...That was Los Angeles then, when the city could muster 25 broad-shouldered men with money in their pockets (often taxpayer money). The Committee of 25 and their Fortune 500 companies aren't downtown anymore. They're not even in California anymore. Globalized downtown has a Committee of One. He is Eli Broad.
...This is probably good business, but it may be bad urban planning. I don't know."
