  1. Born and raised in LA, late 1960s, this is the first time one got caught trying to intimidate people using gang members. But the police and politicians were always privileged and still seem to only be held accountable through the competition between each other. It's such a spread out city and county-- engineers, planners, county works and projects, and the DWP (responsible for building Californias aqueduct system) were so very competent, it was very easy and normal to take for granted, and not get involved at all in city politics. Election Day was a day one could easily miss noticing. The movie "Chinatown" was more true to life than fiction when portraying how insulated and hidden away city hall actually seems to be. And that climate also translated into city services. All one needs to do is study the RFK assassination to see how badly it could get and how drastically things had really changed for the average citizen, and including the average citizen. I've seen LA change dramatically in just10 years from the late 70-80s. and the population not only doubled, it also changed its identity. The term "White Flight" was coined here around the time. It described how the vast majority of the cities caucasian population moved out of the city. Most moved to the San Fernando Valley that was mostly a bedroom town with a couple major industries like GM and Hughes, and Lockheed, west of Los Angels but still within county lines, once farm land and developed for its real estate value by Hollywood famnilies like the Warners. though it has its little municipalities with their own names like , Tarzana and , "Sherman Oaks", it was always referred to as the Valley in the 80's.This is where the term "valley girl" came from and made iconic in the song by Frank Zappa's daughter, Moon Zappa. Hollywood played a major role in its development and also the valley's last golden era with many movies filmed there, like "Physical Graffiti" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", most notably for my generation anyway. However, the same cycle that started in the 70s and refused to assimilate in the city outgrew it's boundaries and eventually hit "The Valley", even after after president Reagan gave amnesty to the undocumented population in the US, Mostly in Southertn California, with promises to cut taxes and enforce the laws again. The "white flight" during the later 80 and 90's wasn't as urgent and not as profound. it was definitely more gradual, having maintained a cozy balance of diversity. but something during the most influential years of the MTV generation really seemed to cause gen X (before it was called gen X) to abandon tradition and values for the changes they could easily recognize wasn't being represented in media, for better or worse,. but the conflicting perceptions had a profound effect on the media and corporate movers that came from that generation as they took their places in life with successes and achievements according to the traditions of their family lineage. And like the city that still holds few landmarks from the Coconut Grove era, the Valley also deteriorated for more reasons than just immigration but still a fundamental reason for its regression. the assimilation never really happened and the borders were never a serious priority to get under control. It can be argued that the lack of progress was just a predictable result from the lack of assimilation and the endangerment of the American Dream.
