Echo Park to Downtown LA: what this move involves

Leaving Echo Park means hilly, narrow, often permit-only streets and stairs-to-the-door homes that can need a shuttle for the final approach. Arriving in DTLA means tower logistics — dock reservations, elevator windows and COIs — handled before the truck rolls. Both ends shape the timing more than the distance, so we lock parking and access on each side before move day.
