Steep Street Controversy In Echo Park

[@caution0101]

Bet they are flipping their shit now after the Tesla jump 😆

[@latinonator]

wonder if this is the same hill jump the 1st Fast & the Furious was filmed.

[@yungjansport6991]

Shout out to Nuge for skating that hill.

[@jonds8284]

100% you see the kid who halfcab fliped at the top of the road, and didnt do any powerslides - got the wobbles, and literally slid on his back across the intersections lmfao

Nobody was complaining when it was a predominant Chicano neighborhood. Now that it’s white here’s the uproar.

[@veggiedisease123]

Waze wasn't around when it was a latino area. Plus, it was a white area for the first 50 or so years.

[@vnthxnyz87]

@@veggiedisease123 you do know that the whole south west was Mexico and that families have been there before they even named the state California right? 💀

[@veggiedisease123]

@@vnthxnyz87 There were 8,000 people in California before annexation and they all got American citizenship when California was annexed. Also, they were not there before the state was named California lol. California was named in 1533 before any settlers had reached what is now Baja California and much before any settlers reached Alta California (now American California). I'm not saying there weren't Mexicans in Echo Park until the '60s and the '70s, just that it was predominately European immigrants before then. Mexicans tended to live around Sonoratown which is modern day Chinatown.

The street’s been re-zoned, apparently it’s now used for Tesla flight testing!!

[@richardcontinijr9661]

The city fixed the problem. They shut the street down and turned it into a new runway for Tesla.

Exactly lol that hill has been there since cars were invented lol why the problem now ? Smh

[@omarsanchez9709]

@@captainknapton because Chinatown and Ktown are very closed by that those types of drivers pass by echo park and well, enough said, we all know how well they drive.

[@nandoginkaku7610]

There's a steeper street in echo park a mile away. Have almost crashed twice because neither the person going up or down can see each other until you're at the top of the street

[@Carl_Aznable]

Alex Choi sent me here 👋🏿

[@Thisisnotmuta]

Who is here from close enough?

I used to take this shortcut everyday 5 years ago when I worked in DTLA and there was never any cars, I guess word got out and everyone starting using it

[@ItsNatesArt]

Never been to LA shit looks nice tho

[@user-in8xx1xu5b]

@@ItsNatesArt looks nice from far away, if I lived somewhere else I wouldn’t spend a dime to come visit this dump. I have lived in LA for my entire 30 year life and I’m about ready to move to Arizona because of how bad it has gotten. Life is too fast here, and not to mention you have to constantly look over your shoulder. The people who don’t are the ones who get robbed, shot, or end up dead.

[@ItsNatesArt]

@@user-in8xx1xu5b I know it's a scary place but looks beautiful from far away. I'd only go to visit for a few days but it's mad expensive out there. So I'm good here in WNY

[@user-in8xx1xu5b]

@@ItsNatesArt dude it’s ridiculous expensive out here, I make $2,500 every 2 weeks and I’m living super average. If I didn’t own the condo I live in now I’d probably be broke from paying so much rent. Also gas just hit $6.50 in most places

[@jos1157]

I seen way way steepier streets in LA

[@kropking]

No, Baxter is the steepest one. This video doesn't really show it for some reason. Go drive on it and you'll see.

[@EX3XEX]

Right i remember walking down a neighbor hood and seeing a steep ass hill that looked like a wall like if u run and jumped u probably wont even touch the side walk until ur at the bottom 😂💀

[@djpl311]

This is a horrible shot! It literally looks like you are driving off of a cliff!! It is soooo scary!!
