Santa Ana has amazing proximity to beaches and LA when compared to Riverside and Corona. I would think by now homes would appreciate and push out low income renters. Santa Ana looks safer when i drove by but i'd like to hear from someone who is more familiar with the current market.

That would only happen if the city restricted the number of tenants per residence. Which would never happen.

You got it all wrong buddy. Latinos aren't inherently "poor."

What you're seeing now is second/third generation latinos purchase homes and revitalize the neighborhoods. But yes, you are seeing more white and Asians - in addition to the second/third gen latinos - in downtown since millennials tend to be less scared of people with different skin colors than them. That can't be said for a lot of people in this forum.

Another anti-Latino thread about California by a Texan without a consideration as to the actual history of the area.

>>>>SHOCKER!<<<<



Latinos in Santa Ana are multi-generational and many are -- themselves -- contributing to it becoming a desirable city.

Latinos never really took over Santa Ana, it's more like the city became abandoned by Anglos during periods of white flight to newer suburbs in other parts of the county such as Ladera Ranch, Anaheim Hills, Fountain Valley, Irvine, Mission Viejo, Rancho SM, Laguna Niguel, etc.

And since wealthy Anglos in the coastal cities (Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, San Clemente) employed so many Latinos as gardeners, maids, nannies, etc., Santa Ana was a convenient place to live and be close to their employment source, so it became a natural fit for the Latino community.

For all of its faults and "troubles", Santa Ana is the one part of Orange County where you (at the risk of offending some OC posters, sorry) don't experience so much vapidity and materialism that the county has traditionally been known for. So, in that sense, it's a bit refreshing.

Yeah Santa Ana doesn't have the "vapidity and materialism", but it does have gangs and shootings. I'd rather have the fake $30,000er types than the cholos TBH.

LOL more crying. Santa Ana didn't even make top 10. Tons of cities in the Red States did!

Most Dangerous Cities In The United States - WorldAtlas.com

States with the most Gun Violence. Again all Red States.
http://247wallst.com/special-report/...un-violence/6/

Cities with the highest Rapes (again Majority Red States)
http://toplistsmania.com/top-10-citi...es-in-america/

Interesting how all those cities don't have high populations of Illegals.

Looks like the Red States are leading the Blue states in something. Finally!

I frequently hear about dangerous cities in red states. I'd argue that local politics has more influence than state politics when it comes to crime. Note that I am not saying state politics doesn't matter, only that local politics matters more. So how many of those cities are red?

That being said, this is not a defense of the OP. I just find some of the red vs. blue arguments here silly.
