I love EAST LA primarily because it is my home town. Growing up, we were very limited with resources but we made the best we could. What I loved about my childhood was that there was also a sense of community, given that parks and recreation staff, along with the city council member, would reach out to underserved communities and try to engage the kids in extracurricular activities such as sports. One thing I would like to see change is the numbers of gang related crimes committed within the vicinity.
East Los Angeles is an average area. Safety isn't really good and having underfunded public schools in it hinders the possibility of East Los Angeles flourishing. The community in East Los Angeles consists of many chicanos/as meaning that diversity isn't really big. Overall, East Los Angeles is a community that has humble people and those who persevere through their struggles.
East LA is a busy, family-oriented community with my small businesses, various hard-working food businesses and involved community-oriented religious organizations. It is busy and constantly bustling with noise. Sometimes it feels like a tight-knit neighborhood with much to explore, while other times it doesn't seem as warming and safe. No matter what time of the day it is, it is typically busy with people about in the neighborhood. Some nights are peaceful, while other nights can be concerning due to crime in the area. There is also a lot of trash, but overlooking that and taking into account of the many friendly people here, that can at times be overlooked for the better. Overall, I do enjoy it here when I think about how fortunate I am and thinking about some of the great people I've met.
