Essay / Research Paper Abstract
Brady Westwater has not been taken seriously by east coast observers when he makes a strong argument against Mike Davis’s account of a bleak, futuristic Los Angeles unsuitable for living. Yet, Westwater’s account of the facts make much more sense to the common observer than Davis’s account, particularly in light of the fact that Westwater has the acumen to use Davis’s so-called extensively researched facts against him. Looking at Westwater’s bigger picture, his extensive argument against the native son aspect of Mike Davis’s L.A. outlook seems to be a waste of time. A short mention would have sufficed, but this does not dilute the finer points of his greater argument, particularly in relationship to the Bunker Hill information. 3 references. jvWestwt.rtf

the fault lines, running motorized vehicles that create smoggy, unbreathable air, and a total lack of population controls will eventually cause Los Angeles to suffer from large droughts and end
with the city dying under a cloud of thick smoke after a series of tornadoes or earthquakes or extended periods of drought. Davis blames this on poor government planning, which
has already created such overcrowding, Davis argues, that the city suffers from pestilences such as race riots, gang warfare, drive-by shootings, and home-invasion robberies. Davis says these all point out
how probable his apocalyptic vision is for Los Angeles. Unfortunately for Daviss argument, all of these modern pestilences have infected all U.S. cities
of any size. Los Angeles cannot even claim sole ownership of modern U.S. racial riots when Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York suffered a race riot in 1991.
Davis blames the dark vision he has created in The Culture of Fear of L.A.s future on a political group that started, as he tells
