I wonder how many of these Maoist hooligans actually live in Boyle Heights or have ties to it. They even picketed Self-Help Graphics which dates back to the 1970s Chicano Movement. Wouldn't be surprised if the majority don't. They're probably college students brainwashed by Howard Zinn and Rudy Acuna books and racial identity politics.

Yeah a bunch of "colonizer " nonsense drivel .

If you want to live in America , capitalism is part of the deal.

Hopefully the authorities are watching this group closely . They should be labeled a terrorism group .

My how we think alike. Age does this. Howard Zinn and that manner of thinking is poisonous.

That's because anti-white racism doesn't count. The mayor is not concerned about it.

Who the hell does not welcome art and culture into their neighborhood? I'll tell you, low class people who do not value improvements in their neighborhood. They want to keep the upper class riff raff out so they can continue to have lower rents. Well, I hope this lady realizes that change is a coming and there's nothing they can do about it. This racist act really shows the character of some of those people. It's a shame.

Look, you just literally blew into LA last week.

So please don't start thinking you can tell people what they can or cannot do here.

You can't buy class. There are many people with money who have no class. Going to an art gallery and spending too much for coffee doesn't make you classy.

Not looking down on people who have less than you but not making them feel that way and treating them the same, does.

There is a major homeless problem here in LA, how many of those people got displaced?

It's not about art galleries, it's about rents getting outrageous.

It's not just LA or CA, the middle class is disappearing.

I can understand why someone who has long time roots in a community can resent change, especially if they feel like they're being forced out.

BTW, many in Boyle Heights own their homes outright and have for years, I know two people who inherited their childhood homes, they're Latino and they're not going anywhere. Unless they decide they want to.

This is sort of a silly argument. If home prices hit lottery level, lots of people will sell. It happened in Highland Park, Eagle Rock, west La, westchester(where 3/2 1500 sq ft homes went from $250k to over a million presently since 2000), and it's starting to happen in Inglewood. When prices net homeowners hundreds of thousands, they start selling.

Especially if they want to move out of the area it makes sense .

Let's say they are Hispanic family which if they are in Boyle heights they most likely are, they could likely have a much nicer house in Houston another city with a big Hispanic population .

Obviously not everyone will sell but for those long time owners it can be a good opportunity.

No, it isn't.

I'm well aware of what homes are selling for in Eagle Rock and Highland Park, I live in the area in one of them. And not everyone is selling. Because when you sell unless you plan on leaving the area or the state, where are you going to go? Some people view houses as homes.

You see when you sell, you have to go elsewhere.

I guess you forgot about the housing crash and aren't familiar with economics? Eventually there is always a crash/downturn. We're already heading into another recession, pay attention. Never too smart to think you're better than others, because you never know what's around the corner. Especially these days considering how chaotic this country has gotten.

I know a family who went from living in a million dollar plus home in Encino to renting a two bedroom apt, combination of bad luck and some bad decisions. Lesson learned from seeing that, don't get too big for your britches. So going around thinking you're all that, well as the saying goes "be nice to the people you meet on the way up, because they're the same people you meet on the way down".

Only fools think there is no end to overpriced homes.

I also don't want to hear someone who just got to LA last week telling people how things are going to be, let's see if she even lasts. Her other posts shows she has already set herself up for a really, really bad commute....LOL. I find most of these people are gone after a year or two.

Whine about horrible traffic when they rent an apt 30 miles from their job. She needs to worry more about having any hair left in her head, instead of Boyle Heights. I doubt she has even ever stepped foot in the area.

I'll look down on people that deface property .

The idea of people being pushed out is an exaggeration. Also the councilman of the area said vast majority of people living there are protected by rent control and change won't happen overnight .

I don't think people should be given the false hope that Garcetti is going to build affordable housing for everyone .
Sometimes people just need to move instead of waiting for government help
