the very first public comment was a #notallwhitepeople statement from Steve Sann who wanted credit for white people helping elect Tom Bradley to mayor back in the day.


folks have *1 minute* to offer comment on how their communities are being impacted by complex historical processes. which meant that Tim Watkins was cut off while talking abt Watts' challenges while white westsiders are calling in to complain about being gentrified by tall bldgs.

a woman calling from Crenshaw was trying to explain some of the ways which folks are being pushed out of the area and was cut off midway through.

it takes me 3000-5000 words to explain how the legacy of redlining impacts a specific project. the story about Nipsey, which digs into how that history impacted his life, was 10K words. one minute doesn't even begin to allow for that conversation.

What the Crenshaw woman was trying to get across is that Crenshaw is currently being flooded with market rate developments eager to take advantage of the arrival of the Crenshaw Line.
