“Hey, look at this cool building from 2010! Oh yeah and here’s one from 1972 I forgot to tell you about.”

[@thomasvleminckx]

Yeah, strict chronological order would have been nice.

[@thomasvleminckx]

As a European outsider, the first thing I think of when I think of "LA" is the US Bank Tower. It's so iconic on the skyline.

[@fionasmith8350]

Me too

[@iamjsmith4284]

If we could just go in order

[@ChiggaChase]

Oms video woulda been so raw if they did it like that

[@SStupendous]

@@ChiggaChase It only makes sense to show it in the correct order...

[@cloverfield911]

You need to re-do it chronologically!!!!

[@seanlewis1148]

cloverfield911 That's what I thought this video was showing.

[@aarong4379]

Agreed

[@gutesteven]

I appreciate the video but the fact that you couldn't illustrate the "evolution" properly really annoyed me.

[@kyle__riker]

I mean at the very end of the video it sorta does but I agree.

[@KingAgonized]

you guys need to do this one like you did the New York one I love the animation of it

[@teredoan5753]

Cool Video! In the mid 80's i washed some of this progress from my Apt's balcony in the westlake area.

[@NeonVars]

And for some odd reason skyscrapers weren't a thing after 2000. I get the years between 2008-2013 but come on two skyscrapers within 2 decades? lol. Meanwhile New York is a metropolis of skyscrapers now.

[@adrianaAKAadi123]

This needs a re done, after so many year with out new buildings. LA went all out these past for years...the sky line look nothing alike since 5-10years ago....also would love chronological

[@KurtLawson]

The white 3d text over the light colored background is not very easy to read. Something more colorful would have worked a lot better.

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

Would've been quite fascinating to see the 60's LA skyline today without all of those modern high risers.

[@mattf49006]

My dad was a LA probation officer then..his office was downtown and he'd take me with him ..earliest I recall was when I was in 1st grade so '61ish...I left socal in mid 80s..it sure changed over the years

[@loantony2516]

Fun fact LA have a rule that no skyscrapers can pass the height of the us bank tower

[@darth4office82]

I'm pretty sure there used to be a similar rule for the town hall long ago

[@thomasvleminckx]

Makes sense.

[@Aran-fj5mo]

Its a iconic Building for the city...Its like a crownd for the downtown

[@Matdogg2k]

You need to increase the DPI and make it in order of highest Yelp ratings...Syke. Great video!

[@williamtoad8040]

It seems like all the building activity went dead stagnant after 1992 for the next 15-20 years after so much activity in the previous 25-30

[@LiquorMaster]

The 2010's saw a boom in construction. Obama and Trump were both good for the economy. 2020's should see additional buildings constructed as well.

[@awbelton]

Car culture baby, build out!

[@williamtoad8040]

@@awbelton yep ever notice how few skyscrapers were built in the 1940s-50s when you look at a US cities list of tallest buildings

Your picture makes it look like Downtown L.A. was hit by a snowstorm.

[@MarioMario-my5ib]

The US bank tower is still the highest building in LA. Antennas go home!

[@shawng8613]

Mario Mario It's missing lots for some reason. Even at just 200 feet and over there have been maybe 15 in just the last 5 years and quite a few of those are over 500 feet.

[@angelozuniga166]

Mario Mario that’s right , I feel you man , I love downtown but I hate the wilshire grant Tower for some reason

[@californiamade5608]

Salesforce Tower in San Francisco is the real tallest on the west coast.

[@WaLdo5940]

You put a regular TV/Radio antenna on top of the Library Tower, it goes back to being the tallest building in California. Even though the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco seems taller if you compare them side to side.

WHy do you start out with the staples center in the picture? Built in 1999.

[@gandolfthegardener]

Great idea BUT a quick review of the video prior to downloading would have exposed the errors.
