Wilshire Park

“Street lights being out, speed bumps by schools, land use. Same as above”

“Connection of the residents, centrality of the area.”

“It’s not overly buildup and because of this, has a very comfortable feeling.”

“the historic preservation and the neighborhood community”

“community”

“I love my neighbors and my neighborhood. My children grew up in the area and would love to be able to afford living here too.”

“It’s central location to other areas of LA from the beaches to east LA.”

“Community feel of 700-800 block of S. Bronson, spearheaded particularly by Lorna Hennington”

“Accessibility to shopping, culture and dining.”

“I grew up here. This is my home, and I want it to be a place where families can raise their children. My friends who live in Orange County keep telling me that I live in the ghetto and get out of there. I would like to see a commitment to family, children, schools, and a community that can thrive. I see so many development of unaffordable housing. This is juxtaposed to rampant homelessness everywhere. It just seems like the money is not going to where it is needed and is going to building condos that no one can afford. The metro construction has been going on forever and my main concern is no one is going to be able to use it once the stations are open because they will just be filled with homeless people. The last several times I used the metro, there were multiple threatening situations with a drunk homeless person and another mentally unstable person. It just does not feel safe in any public spaces. There seems to be this ideal of making LA with less cars and more public transportation with no thought or plans to the very real issue of drug use, mentally unstable and homeless individuals all over the city. There are so many empty business buildings and lots throughout the greater Wilshire area through downtown. The city planning needs to really consider what this city needs to look like in the next 30 to 50 years because currently, anything that is enjoyable to families are shrinking and moving away from this area.”

“My neighbors and the location.”

“Street Lights, Homeless encampment or trash/belongings, Commercial vehicle parking specifically on 9th st between crenshaw and norton ave”

“It’s tranquility and non-over built areas.”

“The proximity to all areas of LA; the quiet.”

“The diversity of the people and neighborhoods.”
