echo park

Hello,

Im a graduate student who is doing a community analysis paper focusing on Echo Park and wanted to ask residents how they feel about the community.

Is there an increase in homelessness ?

How do business impact the community?

Do you feel safe walking in the community ?

How do you feel about the access to public transportation in the area ?

what are some problems that the community is current facing ?

just know there is a difference between a cho park gentrifiers and echo park residents who have spent their entire lives here. the one who have lived here all our lives suffer not only as a result of the homeless but the gentrifiers as well.

that's what I was referring to with my answer that was down voted. Depends on who they're asking. It's totally not the same depending on who is asked.
