Working class neighborhood

[gregb]

Classy. I post under my own name while you hide under a handle.

And you own more appraisal text books as an SRA than most of my MAI pals.

Neighborhood contains several large public housing projects.
This is a fact (in Watts), and I will stick to the facts, Sgt Joe.

We do not need tripadvisor or chamber of commerce type info in there.
Nor any demographic info, it is not relevant.

I might note fact, the Jordan Downs housing project is being replaced with newer stuff.
Will not get into the thing that some people don't like it's style.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Not the ghetto or 'hood.

South La Brea Ave and Coliseum St....

Back in the mid to late '60's that beige colored building was the Baldwin Hills Theater which my friends and I would walk to....
The Chevron gas station was there and looks like it still is....
The other corner had a church and that too looks like it's still there....
And the apartment complexes referred to as The Jungle is still there too....

South La Brea and Obama Blvd (back in the day the street was named Rodeo Rd)....
Back in the day the Micky D's was Boys Market....
Del Taco was a Thirty's Drug store....
CVS parking lot was a Hody's carhop restaurant....
And the single story building on the remaining corner was a Hody's cafeteria style restaurant....

During the Watts riot, my friend and I were having lunch at the Hody's cafeteria and watched as the National Guard set up a barricade along Obama Blvd to prevent traffic coming down South La Brea St....

2 interesting things....
There is, nearby, the proverbial railroad tracks....
And this was not considered part of south LA back in the day....

There is quite a bit going on over there. Building a subway, the underground train kind, not sandwich shop.
OK, not all underground. Look at Google street views along Crenshaw north of Slauson.
They plan to have a bunch of new public transit running in time for the Olympics coming here.
I forget what year, but not many years away.
A lot of the less than stellar areas, err working class hoods, have been getting better in recent years. My $2.

I was just down there yesterday (proposed homeless shelter conversion at a church). I do a lot of work in South LA. I just got another assignment today for a couple storefronts on Manchester, west of Western.

I have seen stupid, judgmental posts on this forum for over 15 years and your post is close to the most ignorant in that time period. It is a appraisal term; look it up in the texts that you most likely do NOT have.

Listen and learn boys and girls....

This is the proper way for generic AF member A to respond to generic AF member B's post....
Without member A getting his/her post deleted....
Without member A getting locked out of the thread....
Without member A getting sent to the timeout box....

"Working class neighborhood" a good descriptor of entry level homes and the two job buyers who have purchased them...

Without getting into the many other tangents in this thread, I would not use the phrase "working class neighborhood" in an appraisal report because of the requirements to avoid subjective terminology. I submit that the posts in this very thread illustrate quite well the subjective nature of that phrase.

For the record I do not use "Working class neighborhood" in my reports although that sound exactly like the type of housing that USDA specializes in lending on.

I used to have a knit tie like that dog.
Also a couple skinny leather ties,
and one made of different colored wood blocks that I got from some guy at Venice Beach a long time ago.
That's the best one, still have it I think.
