They’re already augmenting wealthy neighborhoods with private security in LA. There will be walls someday soon. Proggies want a feudal society and they’re going to get one.
“They’re already augmenting wealthy neighborhoods with private security in LA.”
In 1987 there were plenty of “armed response” signs in LA.
“In the fall of 1911, display ads began to appear in the Los Angeles Times offering “The most exclusive and highest class residence community in the most desirable residential city in America—Fremont Place.” Ingram and Barry gushed further: “There is no other residence property in Los Angeles to compare with it—no property which gives the man of means such opportunity for exclusiveness—such unique home attractions.” Then came the real sales pitch: “Considering its character, its elegance—the prices at which this property is obtainable are exceedingly low. Because of its extremely high character—the property is necessarily limited—and those who wish to secure a homesite here must avail themselves of the opportunity at once.” There would, in fact, be quite a bit of interest but no mad rush of “men of means”; it would be nearly three years before the first house was built.”
“With the entire “West End” actually little more than prairie, it would be a while before the trees provided any shade or beauty. It is surprising, when one thinks about it, how many men of means and their families were willing to put up with little natural vegetation and only sparse settlement for as long as they did. It wasn’t until the late ‘20s that Windsor Square, Hancock Park, and Fremont Place would even begin to have the lush Garden District–like charm that many would be leaving behind in old West Adams.”

“AT THE TURN OF THE 20TH CENTURY, just about every acre south and west of downtown Los Angeles was covered with barley...at least, this is the impression one gets when reading of the amazing development of the city at the time”
“Improvements to Burke’s new development began in December 1903, and, using the best materials and craftsmanship, lasted until April 1905, with the public invited to view the results from that month. The street was to be privately owned and gated—very much along the lines of many American suburban developments of the time that followed St. Louis’s pattern of Benton, Vandeventer, Westmoreland, and Portland places. Burke gave his exclusive new street the name Berkeley Square”
