They become obsessed with wealth and possessions and proving themselves superior to others. Life is a competition and they must out do everyone. Unfortunately, many people in my family who grew up in the project have this mentality. Mean eyes and Lexuses! Little love for family and a lot of love for things.

Always be proud of were your from and never forget your past, but also use that as a means of bettering your life and those you love the most. I was born and raised in the Estrada courts but refused to allow my life of violence and poverty hold me back. Pave a better way of life for your children, set an example for the youth behind you and don't fall into the same cycle of crap. Yea I live in a nice area that's calm and quiet at night, my kids go to excellent schools and have a nice big house and yard to play in. But I struggled, and fought hard to EARN this way of life for them. I still have some tats that my naighbors see when I don't have a shirt on and often get asked why I didn't have them removed when I joined the army. It's a reminder that better days and a better life will come if you want it enough. No excuses and there isn't a dam thing that anyone could say to me about living a shitty life I lived it and used to love it but we all need to grow up sometime. You can make it happen, if not for you than for the ones that you love. Let it go and build a better life little homies, you and the ones you love deserve it.

David Ortizz I grew up ther also. I remember going to the Gym for free lunch during the summers Santa Terista Church for Christmas toy's. I had lots of fun in Ramona Gardens best time of day was when the Ice cream and when Helms Bakery truck would roll by... But it was a scary time in the 80's. PCP and Heroin was everywhere to be found and people where so high off of that stuff they thought they could fly and cops could not hold down individuals when being arrested... I'm glad my parents were smart and moved us out. I still drive by just to see what it looks like and to bring back my childhood memories of my friends and my Grandparents.

[@kal1manx]

We grew up there in Ramona Gardens also..back in the late 70's and early 80's..and my parents also realized that this wasn't a place to raise a family ..so we moved out ..we still have family there and we visit .. not so much crime like back in the day.

My mother moved to Estrada Courts when my brother and me and my twin sister were all babies (my brother was a year old and me and my twin sister were months old). We stayed for twenty years (1955 to 1975). Being only part of a few black families living in Estrada Courts at the time, we did not face too many problems. In fact there are still black families living in Estrada Courts (at least the last I heard). I remember my brother being a part of VNE; at the time being one of the few interracial gangs (there were black and a few white members along with Hispanic). However, VNE is currently entirely Hispanic. We were proud to live in Estrada Courts because of its reputation as being "big and bad" -- I still have fond memories from living in Estrada Courts. One of the black families living there were the Cains. We grew up with Debra Cain (Will-I-Am's mother). I believe she may still be living there. The Cains were a large family. There was Lynn Cain, Debra's younger brother (a former NFL player for the Kansas City Chiefs). He is now a coach at a neighboring park. The Cains did not entirely make it out, but our family did. Over the years we would always return for visits because we still had friendly ties. When the murals were painted on the side of the buildings, my brother was one of those original painters (this was around 1971 or 1972). Estrada Courts was a part of our formative years and I will never forget where we came from.

Born in Lynwood lived in Huntington park then Bell Gardens, when I was around 13 my family moved away to Pennsylvania along with my 3 siblings. It was probably best for all of us, especially my siblings. I was constantly getting into fights at school and some of my teachers were the worst teachers I ever had. One teacher would make me stand in front of the whole class and he would ask all the students if they saw me working on my homework. I was abused by multiple teachers. I have the best memories of my life in California though, my friends and the people I grew up with can't ever be replaced. One day I will visit LA and go see my handprint in the Bell Gardens shopping center that I did over 10 years ago

I was always told to stay away from the projects, it’s bad, they kill people there and they will shave your head bald if the older homies got ahold of you. I remember you know how teacher always ask when you’re a kid where do you want to be when you’re older meaning what kind of job do you wanted, and I said to the teacher over there pointing with my finger at the projects across the street. That teacher Ms Golbert called my mom in for a meeting telling mom mother what I said .i guess to her it was the Unordinary for a child to say that but it was embedded in me, I felt safe there even though bullets where flying by. It was one firme VARRIO. One way in..one way out . Taxis and the pizza man didn’t go in there the ice cream man sold dope. I lost a lot of good homies during the wars but here to say I’m alive .

I mean, I know I saw it on Channel 7 News and all, but it just didn't mean anything. I went to school with Black folks, Mexican folks, Spoon fed white folks, druggies, straight lace, you name it! I just always characterized it as "L.A. Life", nothing more, nothing less! And honestly, I loved it, and even miss it!

El Fuego hombre get out of that mentality and it will get you far. I grew up in palos verdes with my dad being a military veteran and he raised me right. It's not about race and color it's about environment and how you are raised.

Proverbs 4:14-22 Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil. Avoid it, do not travel on it, Turn away from it and pass on. For they do not sleep unless they have done evil, And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence. But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble. My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.

I'd like to see one of those young wannabe thugs with rich parents walk through one of these areas so he can actually realize how ignorant he is. I guarantee he'll reexamine himself and become a different person.

With the beautiful weather and many fine advantages, the greater Los Angeles area could be a paradise for all of its inhabitants regardless of background. Terrible cultural influences have an impact on character and choices. This is an inconvenient truth that great thinkers like Thomas Sowell are willing to teach us. Is there openness to learn about these insights?

[@suavelleadams6406]

Cabrini GREEN and the Robert Taylor Homes would have made all these projects look like going to pre School !

[@sergeantguile4571]

😂😂😂 on bro

Born & raised in LA, 'The Jungles' has been amongst the most dangerous areas in Gangland LA. However, the neighborhood has been going through gentrification over the past few years...meaning much less gang activity and violence
