Here are my questions, since there seems to be an assumption that this is what the "locals" want.
1) What was the actual vote from the L.A. city council?
2) Which council members voted which way, and which areas do they represent?
If the representatives of the people in the affected areas specifically did not vote for this, or if the "yea" voters were mostly from upper- or middle-class areas and the "nay" voters were from poorer areas, can we really say that this was fair by invoking democracy?
