If you're tired of smelling urine while using the free wi-fi in Pershing Square, here's some (mostly) good news:
The city's considering spending $165,000 expanding downtown's free-wireless nodes to include Bunker Hill, the financial district, the historic core and Little Tokyo.
The Community Redevelopment Agency wrapped the hardware expense into a larger new appropriation for its "official" ExperienceLA calendar site and, oh, just happened to tack on some money for more wi-fi surveillance cameras ...
The cameras are to be installed at Angels Knoll Interim Park and Little Tokyo for the purpose of feeding your downtown activities (and, of course, those of street criminals) to video monitors inside LAPD.
Make of that what you will.
