In a word, yes...........
People only started building and buying houses out in that armpit because it was the last real estate market anyone could afford in L.A. It had been entirely industrial for decades.
Now, now, be nice. I've lived not far from the Sriracha site for over 40 years. It's been a nice place to raise a family, and we don't have all the westside snobs here.
The factory is in a mostly industrial area, but there are some residents nearby, and the residents were there first. The factory is brand new.
I do know what you mean though. We used to have dump nearby. Our city allowed houses to be built next to the dump, and guess what? The people who bought the houses didn't like living next to the dump and were able to force it to close.
My wife lived in the San Dimas area a long time ago and said it was very pleasant back then.
