Santa Ana, Calif., a heavily Hispanic suburb 30 miles from Los Angeles, has tried unsuccessfully for years to stop overcrowding. When it tried to tighten occupancy standards from 10 to five in a one-bedroom apartment, courts ruled that local laws could not supersede state housing standards.

Thirty years ago Santa Ana was a charming So CA community with shady streets and a small town atmosphere. Today we're not supposed to notice that its become an overcrowded third world dump.

Hmm, how did this happen? Describe the process of how it got that way, not to mention the visual blight of the area. It may be of importance to others to see if the same thing is happening in their communities.
