Hello and good day ven007. Thank you for the inquiry. I will be posting a DJI link where you can check on locations where you can fly your DJI Drone. I hope this helps. Thank you.

Well I'll be !!

The DJI Geo Map, as well as the FAA Facility maps show downtown LA as flyable......no specific restrictions.

Don't forget to look at NOTAMS as well as TFRs for the LA area.  High end dignitaries can cause Temporary Flight Restrictions.

Just got back from flying in Elysian Park, above Dodger Stadium, and there are not any restrictions there.

I would also check with local authorities because I live in NYC and when I look at the DJI Geo-Map and other FAA sites to see if I can fly anywhere in NYC, it shows that I can, but yet I know that ALL of Manhattan is a no fly zone.
