The Official Los Angeles (County) Discussion Thread

[Serious]

They're trying to turn it into Los Feliz.

And who knows, in a few years all the people who can't afford to live in Costa Mesa will probably start creeping up.

Yep because south LA has a ton of cheap affordable housing. Only so many people can live in silver lake..

I'm hearing whites are moving in South Central, Inglewood, and Compton.

Coli posters from L.A. is this true?

Yes, it is.

Compton and Inglewood used to be "white" cities. Inglewood was actually a "sundown town", a stronghold for the Klan and had a "no blacks" policy. And when you look at photos from Compton in the 1960s it was predominantly white (i.e. Kevin Costner is from Compton)

White people are moving back into the neighborhoods that have homes with beautiful architecture. In South LA they are moving into the areas that have the craftsmen style bungalows from the 1910s and the Spanish revival bungalows from the 1920s-30s.

Whites are also moving back into Ladera Heights and other wealthy black enclaves.

Yo..I have always wanted to know this.

How exactly does gentrification happen? Like is it a conscious and deliberate action With some real estate heavy heads getting together ob some deliberate and malicious way and saying "this is the neighborhood that were taking over now"..

Or is it more of a snowball effect where one real estate developer or company buys a piece of property and the others peep it and say "you know what, perhaps we should get there too in order to stay on competition"?

same thing that happened in NYC

alot of the "black" neighborhoods in NYC were Jewish or Italian and now the great-/grandchildren of those who fled those neighborhoods are going back

 

[Vilified not verified]

White people have long been established in the Compton Castle's.

I've always wondered this too. Do the people who live there just get priced out or what?
