Los Angeles' Boyle Heights neighbourhood fights gentrification

Gentrification is when a previously neglected, low income neighbourhood becomes attractive to wealthier residents who begin moving in, often causing rent increases that drive the original residents out.

It's not 'racist', I could possibly understand it being described as 'classist', but not racist.

From a family that lived there for 58 years I understand the sentiment of not being wanted in your own neighborhood. The feeling of lack of respect. But understand this. I grew up in the 50's and 60's Boyle Heights. Near First and Lorena Streets. Our family was surrounded by Japanese and Jews not to mention Mexican Americans like myself. All working class but it was everyone's goal to own their property. This in turn created respect for one's home and street. It was a clean and tidy neighborhood. When recent arrivals from Mexico would move in we would look at them as " oh boy there goes the neighborhood" but in time they would start their own businesses and eventually buy a home on the street. And then another. Their kids became our friends and they would inspire others to continue to better themselves. This went on till the mid eighties when the older residents began to find new homes in the suburbs and a flood of recent arrivals with different ideals began to move in. My old home and my grandfathers property look like a junkyard. Its sad. There is nothing I recognize as the place where I grew up. Its hard to have an argument for fighting gentrification when you drive thru and feel nothing but disappointment. Look , I went to school in Boyle Heights and later to a university on my own. My parents had no money for college. I was able to move and start a life elsewhere and my kids learned to fend for themselves as well. Where is the problem in that. I wish those who are fighting this movement all the best and hope they can find a way to better themselves and move on. Boyle Heights will always be my home nonetheless. It will always be Brooklyn Ave instead of Cesar Chavez, even though my respect for him is immense. But to fight for something that doesn't look like its been respected much in the last 20 years is hard to defend.

[@mandylandry5950]

Much of the conditions of Boyle Heights is to do with LA County through the 60s to 90s avoiding to help support the community and leaving it to rot. They did it to all communities that had a large Latino or African American population. The community itself has suffered much especially in itself. To change for the better. the community has to work together to clean Boyle Heights. It has to work together to ensure low income housing. It has to ensure that it has local business. Also well its not agreeable they also need to allow some outside business but ensure it doesn't overtake the local communities business.

These policies were so profound that they still determine the racial landscape today.

In the 1950s, federal government again reinforced racial segregation via the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), established in 1934, by not insure mortgages in areas near to African-Americans, ‘foreign-born’ people and poor whites. This policy was known as ‘Redlining’, and contributed to white families moving out of the urban centres into the suburbs. Then came the epoch of the stereotypical 1950s housing idyll, yet it had an explicit racial basis. Thousands of homes would be built in suburbs and even though the US was not a suburban country at the time and the very idea at the time was seen as a waste, yet developers gained support from the FHA after submitting their plans, architectural designs and street plans for such suburban subdivisions - yet with the express proviso that such accommodation would not be sold to an African-American as required by the FHA. The FHA even required developers such as Levitt in New York, to place a clause in the deed of every home prohibiting resale or rental to African-Americans. African-Americans were therefore explicitly prohibited from moving into such homes even though they could have easily afforded those homes, not that they did not want to reside in those areas. Those homes at the time were sold for between $8-10,000 and are now worth anywhere between $300-700,000. The white families over subsequent generations gained hundreds of thousands in equity, which would be used for their children’s education, health care, periods of financial difficulty and, which is the issue here, the funds to then later return to urban centres and purchase properties from renters and local municipalities African-Americans did not accumulate such wealth as a result of this federal subsidy. So today African-American incomes are about 60% of those of white-American incomes, and African-American wealth is 10% of white-American wealth. This therefore was due to government housing policy.

The complicated part of LA gentrification for Latina/Latinos is that they want it both ways. Latino/Latina communities want to stop gentrification in historically Latino communities like Boyle Heights. But then Latino/Latinas are the most aggressive community infiltrating and moving into non-Latino neighborhoos in LA, especially Black neighborhoods. Take a snapshot of South Central LA and Inglewood 20-30 years ago and now. Black mom and pop shops have been completly taken over by Latino presence. Schools even moreso. And that displacement was not handled delicately, done in a manner very similar to what the Latino folks in this video claim are happening to Boyle Heights.

If you think living in Los Angeles is expensive now, think again in 2028. The Los Angeles area will be very different in the next 10 years. Los Angeles will become the next San Francisco. Many mid size tech companies are moving to Los Angeles already. The Olympics in 2028. The new stadium in Inglewood. The expansion of LAX with the people-mover. Potential World Cup in 2026. With all the expansion already happening, it is just going to create more demand in the Los Angeles area (which create more expansion). Everything around downtown is expensive already. Beverly Hills to the west. Glendale to the north. San Gabriel Valley to the east. The most affordable locations are all to the south of downtown. Investors are already putting lots of money into the south of Downtown. Compton really is one of the least expensive area. There are reasons why Compton is so much cheaper than the rest of Los Angeles but with all the investment moving into the south of Downtown, the residents of Compton will eventually be force to move away from the area. Boyle Heights is a good example of gentrification. Compton will be gentrify within the next 10 years.

In the 1950s, federal government again reinforced racial segregation via the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) which was designed to move white families out of the urban centres into the suburbs. This was the epoch of the stereotypical 1950s housing idyll, yet it had an explicit racial basis. In the 1950s, federal government again reinforced racial segregation via the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), established in 1934, by not insure mortgages in areas near to African-Americans, ‘foreign-born’ people and poor whites. This policy was known as ‘Redlining’, and contributed to white families moving out of the urban centres into the suburbs. Then came the epoch of the stereotypical 1950s housing idyll, yet it had an explicit racial basis. Thousands of homes would be built in suburbs and even though the US was not a suburban country at the time and the very idea at the time was seen as a waste, yet developers gained support from the FHA after submitting their plans, architectural designs and street plans for such suburban subdivisions - yet with the express proviso that such accommodation would not be sold to an African-American as required by the FHA. The FHA even required developers such as Levitt in New York, to place a clause in the deed of every home prohibiting resale or rental to African-Americans. African-Americans were therefore explicitly prohibited from moving into such homes even though they could have easily afforded those homes, not that they did not want to reside in those areas. Those homes at the time were sold for between $8-10,000 and are now worth anywhere between $300-700,000. The white families over subsequent generations gained hundreds of thousands in equity, which would be used for their children’s education, health care, periods of financial difficulty and, which is the issue here, the funds to then later return to urban centres and purchase properties from renters and local municipalities African-Americans did not accumulate such wealth as a result of this federal subsidy. So today African-American incomes are about 60% of those of white-American incomes, and African-American wealth is 10% of white-American wealth. This therefore was due to government housing policy.

Complain about liquor stores and then complain about progress. Just complaining

[@sergiomendez2353]

These to me means progress many neighborhoods in los Angeles have abandoned building and rundown areas. My people complain and I see these as good and helps neighborhood and area get facelift and brings jobs and money to neighborhood. Los Angeles is such a beautiful Mexican American city with it's Mexican and American roots.

Family owned property there for decades we been waiting for this forever. Rent control keeps it a ghetto. Need to open it up to money.

[@davyjones-locker979]

This is a simplistic and foolish assessment. Richard Rothstein in his book The Color of Law discusses how residential segregation was government policy. Rather, he argues, government policy at the time was to designate racial boundaries so that blacks and whites would not live near each other. These policies were so profound that they still determine the racial landscape today. In the 1950s, federal government again reinforced racial segregation via the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) which was designed to move white families out of the urban centres into the suburbs.

[@mandylandry5950]

I see part of the problem in this video- people who have enjoyed this country for the 30+ years they've been there, yet can't be bothered to learn enough English to have a conversation with someone who doesn't speak Spanish. We Italians adapted. Our businesses thrived, and we weren't pushed out because we assimilated. Don't want to assimilate to the country you moved into? Enjoy being "pushed out." And what I mean by that is enjoy $350,000 for your 1 br house with a hole in the roof that you could knock over with a feather because it wasn't really worth $130,000 but the developer was fair to you to get you to leave. Keep your neighborhoods nice, clean, low-crime, plant flowers and no liquor stores on every corner. Show some fking pride in your surroundings and your buildings won't crumble. Laughing at the dude who has probably rented his whole life and says "get the f out." lol, you don't get to say that, homie, as you're being pushed out yourself. You don't call the shots.

[@SM-qn7sr]

Italians may seem “assimilated” because you guys don’t move here in droves anymore. The current immigrants who are moving to America in drastic numbers are from south of the border and many of them are undocumented and don’t have the privilege to learn English

[@dislikesquare8749]

Mandy Landry: 100 points! You are absolutely LASER SHARP correct. The "American Dream" is achieved through hard work, entrepreneurship, and pride of ownership.

In my hood, 88% latino, there are homes with roofs literally caving in, and $60,000 trucks in the driveway. Having lots of children is another surefire way to stay dirt poor. But, you know, god.

[@elechu91]

Wouldn’t it be smarter to keep the cost of living low and let the hipsters move in to pour more money into the neighborhood.

If you are here 30+ years and still can't speak a lick of English, you haven't tried hard enough. I wasn't even allowed in the room when my Italian elders were speaking their native tongue because I was expected to assimilate and better myself.
