I colorized, restored and created a sound design for this video of Los Angeles 1960s, have population: 2,479,015, surpassing Philadelphia as third in the nation. More than 6 million people live in Los Angeles County

Sorry but wrong, large catholic influence in la, umm 21 missions ring a bell. Spanish influence...
I didn’t understand your post, but if it was about the early history of California then it wasn’t relevant to what created what we know as the great American city of Los Angeles, Americans created that.
This is the time when LA was 95% white and safe.
Wow, clean, not crowded, no massive amounts of traffic, stores open downtown, no bums...
This country was something else back then.
It would be very interesting to have someone recreate that same drive today and video it.
You’re right.
Oh wow
Open Borders kinda change the demographics...
The city of Los Angeles was 83% White in 1960 (including Hispanics, which were counted under White until 1980) and 14% Black. Curiously, there are fewer Blacks in L.A. today than there were in 1960, now down to just 8% of the overall population. Half a million Blacks lived in the city from 1970-80, now dropping to just over 300k or so as of about 2020. Even a lot of the once infamous Black suburbs such as Compton and Inglewood have since become Hispanic.
“”Open Borders kinda change the demographics...””
Catholic JFK was focused on changing the immigration laws after writing a book on it in the 1950s and including chain migration in his 1960 party platform, to end the limited European immigration and start importing an endless flood of 3rd world people and mostly from Catholic nations.
In 1965 the democrats passed his 1965 Immigration Act dream which is where all of this comes from.
“I am guessing somewhere in DTLA on a Sunday due to light traffic. Lack of smog is another clue.”
It was downtown LA, as I could read a couple of the street signs. Other clues were the relatively tall buildings and frequent buses. Could have been Sunday, but the air clears up, even today, in that part of LA, during the afternoon.
If you go further east, maybe 30 miles, you get the worst air the country had ever seen. And it was at that time, due to mainly to cars and industry. Today the cars are far, far, cleaner (by a factor of about 100), and must of the industry was kicked out.
“This is the time when LA was 95% white and safe.”
There were a decent number of blacks in LA, having migrated to WW2 jobs. They concentrated in South Central and were low profile, but soon after that filming the Leftists goaded them into giving us the Watts riots...and the city never fully recovered.
I was born and raised in LA, the west san fernando valley, smog in the 1960’s was horrid, so thick you could use a knife to cut it. hurt to breath some times..
