See that's the thing, A lot of people talk about the declining numbers in LA proper... but fail to acknowledge that it's people like her, who never actually lived in the city who also comprise what people see as Black LA. It'd be a different story if she grew up on the Eastside, Figueroa or Leimert Park/Crenshaw
Truth is, a lot of them blacks lived in Inglewood,Compton,Gardena,Carson,Hawthorne and Long Beach to begin with...cause that's where middle class blacks moved if they didn't move to the westside of LA after they lifted housing covenants.
The point she does bring up about urban planning is correct. But there is no incentive in creating housing/business opportunities for the greater good of the community, housing as a whole seen as a way to generate income, it's not just an LA issue.
I do feel a viable solution is blacks from the trades and those who specialize in direct support to the community to open businesses. We don't need anymore clothing lines or restaurants.

One thing to note, is that this is the most thriving sector for scamming in the black community currently.
Pocket watching with JT built an entire platform around these folks who are online committing fraud under the guise of using the government resources to get ahead.
Foh cac. Blood and Crips are one of the worst ongoing tragedy that's plaque the black community.

Even if you want to take this line of thinking, the lady in the article grew up in a time when that was far more dangerous than today. There were exponentially more people who moved out of LA because of cost of living than there were because of violence in their neighborhoods.
It's a terrible take, breh.

Im probably the last gen of black Californians that witnessed the end of that era. Sad to say but my family contributed to this problem by moving out too.
So the media will just straight up tell the public that they are all clicked up? OK......there's alot of moving parts here.....this is just one componet
