Downtown LA isn’t as glamorous as people try to make I️t out to be. 🤷🏽♀️
I wish yall outsiders would stop tagging up all the LA landmarks.
A lot of these beautiful murals/landmarks have been up for 30+ years some are older than me & are getting buffed over & not being re done. It's a sad fucking sight to see
I had a fun day at the beach with my friends yesterday. I havent been in like over a year and i forgot how fun it can be 🥰
Wake Up!!!
In the voice of Laurence Fishburne in [ School Daze] people need to wake up and pay attention to the unspoken visual we call gentrification. If you don’t know what gentrification is Webster states it as “ The process of repairing and rebuilding homes and businesses in a deteriorating area (such as an urban neighborhood) accompanied by an influx of middle-class or affluent people and that often results in the displacement of earlier, usually poorer residents.” (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gentrification).
It’s happening all over the world to small urban communities whose voices are not being heard. The people of the community are being taxed out, and pushed out.
The people who make the community and gave its cultural influence, now renters are unknown of their place in the city. Starting in the city of Inglewood watching the new stadium takeover the city, and by interviewing a local resident.
Jill Knight, an Inglewood resident gave me some information about how she felt about gentrification happening in her neighborhood. Knight stated “ I believe Change is good but its pros, and cons the city is getting overwhelmed with these new renovations. Watching residents in my area being forced out due to high wages for rent. Not having the knowledge of what the future has to hold.” Knight has been a resident in her building for ten years and her building is located directly across the street from the new stadium. [Prairie & E hardy St]
When asked about how she felt about her current living situation she responded by saying “ That being in this building for ten years you start to become a family with the people who live here. Not having sure confirmation of what’s going to happen to the building because the landlord has complete control is really scary.” she also shared “ This building is very convenient for not only me but my family I can walk to my church from here, and locally it’s convenient for me to pick up my grandchildren from school.”
Ms. Knight is one of the few local residents that might [ will] have to adjust to the new curistaism that is due to the effects of gentrification. Big business see the opportunity [https://www.npr.org/2019/09/05/758043726/inglewood-community-fights-tech-driven-gentrification] to come now to take the spaces that were once catered to the residents but now it’s just displacement.
The solutions that are being implemented to help the residents is the creation of rent control. The city of inglewood has made it their commitment to help its residents out with these measures. According, to La Curbed (https://la.curbed.com/2019/6/12/18661454/inglewood-rent-control-approved) This will block property owners from raising rent, but also only it to be raised no more than 5%. If the property does decided to sell they have to to pay the residents of that building a relocation allowance as long as you lived in the building for two years or evicted for “ Just Cause”.
The people of Inglewood all have a voice and this is one of many topics that should be vocialized more. To spread awareness and to shed light on many other communities just like Inglewood.
I Need Additional Limbs
My mom lives in a little ranch in a neighborhood that is pretty destitute and desolate. And no, I am not talking about third world honey, I am talking Parma, Cleveland, Ohio.
The time it took me to get from my house to my kids camp and back, was the time it would have taken me to visit my mother.
One of the reasons, I never wanted to move back to NY, or my husband an L.A. native, did not want to go back to Cali, was this fucking shit.
Congrats Columbus, you have jumped the shark the way that Austin used to be cool, but now is frequented by douche bags across the world.
VIP means not to let them into the party. VIP is we are here because we have been here all along. VIP means I am a protector of this brand.
But I guess, like the East Coast and the West Coast before us, we are now commodified and mired in traffic shit.

to be born and raised in LA
look, it’s simple.
LA didn’t become cool overnight
LA is not the ‘next great city’
LA has always been cool. it’s always been great. we made it that way.
(except for the west side)
and you can stay if you never forget that.
