I am familiar with Long Beach as well...
I looked up the address of the apartment complex...It is near the 710 Freeway...In general, the area near 710 Freeway is not very good...
West part of Long Beach is mostly Hispanic and black...I think that most of those teenagers are from that part of Long Beach...I am talking about the area near Jordan, Poly, and Cabrillo High Schools...
East part of Long Beach is not really ghetto...I am talking about area near Long Beach State and Millikan High School...Many whites live in that area...
I think that many residents of that apartment complex will end up moving out...
Rent in some parts of Long Beach is very high...Mostly East part of Long Beach...
