This weekend while watching the newest "Final Cut" of the Los Angeles neo-noir classic, we noted this comment about LA's housing market...in 2019...and chuckled. But then worried it might become true (though we wouldn't mind having the Bradbury Building to ourselves).
[Pris and Sebastian entering the Bradbury Building]
Pris: Do you live in this building all by yourself?
Sebastian: Yeah, I live here pretty much alone right now. No housing shortage around here. Plenty of room for everybody.

I've seen Blade Runner on the big screen way too many times.... I love it to death but I'd love to see a new vision of the future from some new artist/filmaker.
Someone should do a vision of the future Los Angeles like Kubrick's 2001--a super clean utopia (with a revolting underbelly?). Do it 1960s/superfuture/mod-modern/barbarella style. AND have a housing shortage so we can imagine how they deal with tight spaces (like Tokyo).
Oh...not off topic but I was thinking of Blade Runner this morning when I donned a Victor & Rolf overcoat (not a trench) over my red shirt and tie. Call me Deckard.
