My next door neighbor, lived in a small two bedroom house she bought as a single mother in Glendale, Ca. When all the Armenians immigrants called Glendale, Ca, one of their Mecca's, the city of Glendale, City Council, and mayor started claiming emminent domain like mad.
She was put out of her house, bulldozers were in their front yards, they all went to the council meeting and begged. The Mayor stood up and said your 'little' homes must go in the name of progress!
Today, little tiny streets where you can only park on one side of the street to allow for traffic, has got three story apartments on both sides of the street. NO PARKING available for all the condos and apartments, and those lovely little bungalow homes on charming tree lined streets are no more. Glendale, Ca has been turned into a Mega-tropolis, with people that are of another culture all together.
The face of Glendale, Ca has been changed forever. At one time I wanted to live there. The homes were beautiful. Today, Glendale is a mess. Traffic like many parts of So, Ca, is just overcrowded. Our communites are being destroyed because of this 'progress'.
It is less the type people, more so the overcrowding.
