Lots of thoughtful discussion here. But none of them address the truth of this situation. Boyle Heights is the next target for gentrification and LA’s City Council has demonstrated strong support for property developers (not to mention Mayor Garcetti’s riches sourcing from property development). I’m sure the NIMBY component in this case is contrived as most of the soon-to-be-displaced residents of Boyle Heights are low income and are too busy working multiple jobs to stay afloat in one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods. Anyway, what’s going to happen in this case is this organization is going to be starved out until some developer steps in to buy the property to put in a new strip mall or stack and pack development as the gentrification plan plays out.
