Low rent area with high minority (Hispanic/Asian) demographic. I used to live in the next city north of there, which used to be middle-middle class population, but now is mow mostly Asian Immigrant.... LA area is one huge 3 world balkanized area.
When I left the LA area I took the flag and turned out the lights.
I had 25 glorious, beautiful, happy, fun-filled years in CA, lived 10 years at the beach in LA, my teenagers could go to bonfire parties on the beach at night with NO WORRIES. They were perfectly safe. It was really the California Dream.
Today, adults who walk anywhere that beach even in daylight are NOT smiling and neither are their Doberman Pincers.
WE lost CA years ago, and it’s a tragic loss.
