    I'm glad to see this actually come to fruition. So many "promises" have been broken. Let's just see if they can keep their promise. Creating a good neighborhood can happen without gentrification. First, make sure that the residents of Jordan Downs have a right to return. Secondly, make sure that most of the businesses in that community are Mom-and-Pop/locally owned and locally employed businesses. Not a lot of chain businesses. Prioritize those who really need housing, versus those where, say, priced out of West Los Angeles. It's important for black folks also, to own their own homes.
