thank god for doordash
LA the city only had 1000 of them. So that means suburbs of la had another 1500 homicides. LA might be the first city to have extremely violent suburbs. Even to this day I don't think no city has suburbs as violent as la.
Still relevant to the discussion. Historically many black families struggle to get back on top financially, years after a recession hits.
There's several studies out that suggests many communities of color are still struggling from the great recession a decade ago.
The key component to article is looking at how rich people prospered, by buying up land for cheap.
LA proper, aint that big. And it depends on what you quantify as the suburbs.
Places like Lynnwood, Gardena, or Paramount might be considered the suburbs, but they're still areas where gangs are active.
