Los Angeles once boasted one of the world’s most extensive railway networks—a network of streetcars, with about 1,200 miles of track and over 900 cars at its peak.
Today, with the recent renaissance of both rail transit and downtown Los Angeles, a group of community leaders, including the Los Angeles Conservancy and the Central City Association, have created the “L.A. Red Car Project” to revive the historic trolley as a downtown circulator.
The study, conducted for the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles by a consultant team led by the IBI Group, has just been released and has concluded that a vintage-style trolley system is feasible and would make tremendous contributions to downtown’s ongoing revival.

 Amazon.com: City of Quartz : Excavating the Future in Los Angeles (Vintage): Books: Mike Davis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Mike Davis peers into a looking glass to divine the future of Los Angeles, and what he sees is not encouraging: a city--or better, a concatenation of competing city states--torn by racial enmity, economic disparity, and social anomie.
Eschewing the character study that comprises most Los Angeles history, Davis concentrates on the ongoing and ignored ethnic and class struggles, formerly manifested by booster (pro-growth) exploitation, now replaced by exclusionary (no-growth) neighborhood incorporation, and by police control of Afro-American and Latino neighborhoods.
This myopic aspect of leftist interpretation is insulting to the actual people of greater Los Angeles, who in reality are motivated by a complex mixture of individual ambition, fear, idealism, and "class interest," and are hardly the shallow stereotypes that Davis portrays them to be.
