Inglewood: The (real) cost of Revitalization 

Thank you so much for participating and helping us tell this important story! We will be reaching out to some more media outlets.

@@BlackExcellenceMedia , thank you again. Please let them know that the owners of our building is the City Of Inglewood according to the Los Angeles County Accessor's office.

Absolutely agreed!! That's why organizations like Uplift Inglewood are important. Aside from protecting residents, they are also aiming to educate them about homeownership.

They don’t want to hear that. It’s everyone else fault they rented for years and didn’t buy when had the opportunity.

Thank you. No one considered buying?

Ben you should stop moving into white neighborhoods and destroying them and stop complaining about white people moving into your neighborhood and rebuilding them

@@bbgg4802 no one destroys white neighbourhoods. What happens is the whites move in and try everything under the sun to get rid of blacks. They tried it in bed stuy where blacks own homes, now they're here and low key pissed full of tension since they can't price blacks out

I'm all for owners doing substantial modification on their properties and making a profit, however there are laws in place to protect both landlord and tenants. In the case of the 4949 W Century property, what you don't hear in the documentary is the City owns this property and has vehemently denied it. 3 Eviction notices and the Los Angeles County Accessor's office have confirmed their ownership. The residents in the building have been threatened and harassed by the Contractor and those very construction workers in the documentary on various occasions, including but not limited to, and again what you don't hear in the documenary ALL the electrical outlets were off in the apartment where the documentary was filmed. The resident had no power to her stove or refrigerator for 5 days she had to syphon power from her neighbor: A FIRE HAZARD!!!! Since the City chose the interest of their property, the Rams, Chargers and the Clippers over the lives of the; children, elderly and disabled remaining in the building: the demolition dust exposed these residents to asbestos. Yes, they the City, have a right to do what they want to their property, what they don't have a right to do is jeopardize the health and safety of these tenants and for that they must be held accountable.

Thanks for watching! This is happening all over the country, often at the cost of low income families.

Thanks for watching! This has been an issue facing the community for few years now.

@Sergio Aguirre Inglewood has a lot of slumlords that don't fix up shit and still wanna raise the rent that part.

Thanks so much for the support! Organizations like Uplift Inglewood are making so much difference.

I was born at Daniel Freeman in 1976. Third generation Inglewood. I belong there as much as any person. I love Inglewood. I think it's a beautiful place to be and I visit often. They priced me out though. I had to move inland.

@@SolSkinn Heather, don’t get me wrong, I loved Inglewood, I have very fond memories of it, I spent 3 years (‘64-‘67) at Morningside High School (Go Monarchs). As a boy I sold the L.A. Times newspapers at the Hollywood race track, I hug out at AH-HAs Hamburger Stand on W. Century Blvd where In-N-Out Burger sits now. It was home to me, until the Watts riots (1965) then it wasn’t. With time comes change, I just didn’t like the change in my old neighborhood, that’s all I was saying, no smack, just my opinion. ✌️

@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw my mom had a hard time with bussing too. I don't think it was easy for anyone. I'm sure white parents warned their kids about the new kids coming to school. I'm sure parents of the kids being bussed warned their children. Everyone acted out of fear and trauma. I think that is just beginning to heal. My grandma and her siblings lived in Inglewood, but for whatever reason went to leuzinger. It was much different. My mom and her siblings ended up in westchester schools.

@@SolSkinn you know, when I lived there, 1959-1967 is a whole different time from what you are talking about, my life there was just a far off memory by the time you experienced Inglewood. My time there & your time time there are two different worlds. So I can’t really understand the way it was for you, just like you’ll never know what it was like for me. I say again, the years I lived there were good, I just wouldn’t live there now. 🙏👋

Thanks for watching and the support!
