As Corona became more and more integrated, rich white folks started moving into more and more "exclusive" area: the mountains.pic.twitter.com/EN6lSOtcwd
These luxury Sierra Peak gated community homes are in the exact evacuation zone. They're surrounded by naturally-burning chaparral.pic.twitter.com/3580TTTqgw
Local, state, and federal funds are wasted year after year protecting homes in LA brush fire areas where they should have never been built.
White climate folks who aren't even from LA/don't understand fire ecology use these fires to claim global warming evidence. They're wrong.
This is horrible management and it repeats itself year after year, decade after decade. It must end.
I had no idea. Do you have some article about it?
1) I recommend a book called Making Lemonade out of Lemons: Mexican American Labor and Leisure in a California Town 1880-1960
2) The book references lots of 1920s newspaper articles. I'm a nerd and read like the whole archive a while ago. No current articles, tho.
Thanks 4 the thread, similar to the evolution of South Central LA; originally post war tract homes, and eventually white flight to the burbs
I'll try the book you recommend.
Where did you find info about the long history of racism in corona ?
