Searched GE a bit more and think I found the problem area. If you are curious, go to 33.800585, -116.477416 and see what the golfers do not want to look at. Later satellite photos make it like the back yard dump site has been cleaned up.

But, it looks like a desert community style ghetto along that street. Certainly no pride in property appearance.

Google Maps gives an unfair appearance. Photo taken while they were browning out the golf course. It’s one of the few courses in the valley that plays closer to an East Coast or Ohio golf course with tall shaded trees, say 35ft + in height.

It’s one of the few all black neighborhoods in the valley and isolated such that anyone else buying their is considered an intruder by the residents.

C’mon man! By my reckoning, this was a result of some kind of contentious property dispute, which took on the tinge of race.

My conjecture is that the “Crossley Tract” was seen to be an aggressive move against the golf course location, precisely by buying right up to the perimeter, and the golf course, under these contentious circumstances, created the Tamarisk barrier to isolate itself from ( ahem ) interactions with the adjacent properties, and anybody who plays golf knows what I mean.

Also, I don’t see anything wrong with Lawrence St. in Google Maps. OK, a little scruffy, but it’s true I’ve never been picky.
