The anti gentrification ( really anti white ) radicals are winning the fight in L.A.
These groups are similar to ANTIFA . They have spray painted anti white things on art galleries and harrassed “white” owned businesses including a small independently owned coffee shop in the area and a new kosher cafe , even throwing feces at their building during the grand opening ..
They have also kicked out white college students from a local park and told them the park is for “brown people”
Crickets from the city leaders but we know this would not be the case if it was whites doing this to Hispanic or whites doing this to black , Asian etc .
These groups identify as socialist and even “Maoist” ( aka Chinese communism )
Scary stuff these leftists groups are just bullies picking on small business owners . As the article mentions they aren’t going after the big developers because they are cowards .

For more than two years, members of B.H.A.A.A.D., a coalition of anti-gentrification groups in Boyle Heights, have repeatedly demanded that galleries leave the neighborhood; what the neighborhood needs, the groups insist, is more affordable housing, as well as residential services such as grocery stores and laundromats. Publicly vowing to “stop at nothing to fight gentrification and capitalism in its boring art-washing manifestations, the group has staged protests, called for boycotts and used social media in savvy and withering ways — for example, describing one gallery owner as bearing the “stench of entitlement and white privilege.”
There have been other more questionable tactics too. A couple of galleries have reported anonymous death threats and other harassment. In 2016, an anonymous vandal spray-painted an epithet about “white art” on the gates of Nicodim Gallery. Last month, a statement appeared on the website of BBQLA, a space just off Whittier Boulevard, apologizing for its role “as hipster bro gentrifiers who have colonized Boyle Heights with our gallery.”

And then they complain about “white flight” when the whites leave.
Always the white guys’ fault.
This area actually used to be diverse back in the day versus today .
Right now it’s about 95 percent of the population is Hispanic , it used to be the center of the Jewish community in L.A years ago.
95 percent of one ethnicity is not diverse . So these activists are fighting diversity .

Considering that there are very few affordable places for them to live, why not let them keep that part of so cal?

Let them make a racial no-go zone, eh? Are you white savior or brown nationalist?
