Streets by VICE: Los Angeles (Sunset Boulevard)

  • Sunset Boulevard has become shorthand for what Los Angeles represents in the collective imagination. Most people do not see Los Angeles themselves, and instead imagine the world of fame and affluence they see on their TV screens. However, the reality of Los Angeles is not one glamorous place or setting - instead, it is a gigantic, diverse and complicated city, divided by its disparate neighborhoods. To know it you have to travel from east to west, across colliding communities that evoke both glitz and grit. In this episode of City Guides we drive along Sunset Boulevard, stopping at venues and speaking with native Angelenos about the economic and cultural influences that have defined and transformed their neighborhoods.

    For work I have to take buses from one end of LA to the other. It takes about 3 hours, I do it almost every day, and honestly I fucking love it every time. Watching this city unfold itself before me, and exploring it by foot whenever I can has always invigorated me. You definitely gotta get off sunset though, there's literally an endless amount to explore.

    80’s sunset strip looked a lot of fun. My pop used to be a rockabilly greaser back then and he and his buds would party all over LA and head to the strip as well. I’m a rocker myself but unlike my dad, I’m more of a metal head though I do appreciate Elvis, jerry lee Lewis and those guys for kicking of rock music in general from the start. I grew up listening to Mötley Crüe, Metallica, Led Zeppelin etc. Though rock music isn’t as big anymore, it will definitely stay alive with fans who crave guitar solos, attitude, blasting drum beats and headband their asses off to rock, metal, punk and the rest of the rock n roll family tree. Kids today will never know the total badassry but lol little do they know that they’re beloved rap and hip hop music all originates from rock n roll. Everything came from the blues, jazz, folk and even gospel music. What the music world is lacking is the progression and instrumental techniques of instruments in the industry. Sure these people today have their own talent but come on where are the guitars lol

    The significance of the Ostrich Farm to Sunset Bouelvard is more than important than most know. For one the route of Sunset from downtown through Echo Park and Silver Lake is directly attributable to the Ostrich Farm Railway (built between 1886/1887) which ran on the same route before the street existed.

    I loved all the interviews! It was a glimpse into various lives and values and I felt like it depicted everything that I’ve seen in LA - when I was visiting family, being a tourist and even lived there. I think with most bigger cities in Ca, one loves parts of the history and energy these places give us but hate the unfortunate parts of its reality; gentrification, gangs, the blue mafia, racism, etc.

    Cool documentary. I'm from London, and obviously we hear a lot about LA, but we get the impression that it’s either glossy Hollywood or gangsters in Compton, so it’s really interesting to get an insight into all the different influences on the city. I visited before, but I was really confused as it wasn’t what I expected and it felt quite unwelcoming as it’s so sprawling and diverse. But watching this makes me want to go back and explore more.

    The reason people are critical of gentrification is because it doesn't do anything to address the root issues of problems. All it really does is move the problems elsewhere. It's like shopping malls in that stay in an area that's profitable and then abandon them and move to the next lucrative investment area. It's like a city version of musical chairs. No matter where the music stops, somebody is going to be left without a seat.

    • @erics2305
      @erics2305 8 лет назад +4

      +strangersound Are you sure? I'm not saying I like gentrification, but thinking about it, it would seem logical that it brings jobs, as the new residents have money to spend, so there will be more businesses. So some the older residents could find a job or a better job.

    • @strangersound
      @strangersound 8 лет назад +13

      +Eric S The primary thing is you have one class/type of people coming in and in most examples, this is a higher class of people and the result is rents go up to a point where only the business class can afford them. And what jobs become available aren't that many and are the usual service/retail jobs that won't have the employees be able to afford to live in the community. Every case if different, and my comment is a generalization. Sunset Strip seems like it fared better than a lot of places. The New York (Bedford St) is a more extreme example of where gentrification completely prices out the people who live there.
      It's a mixed bag. It's hard to argue with investment into communities that need it, with positive effects like reduction on crime, etc. But if it brings in a professional class of people, and the normal people get priced out and can't afford to live there, that hasn't helped them. They just end up moving to an area they can afford to live in, which usually has the same issues the old neighborhood did. The investors end up desiring these areas because they can get property for pennies on the dollar and end up making a huge profit. It's not really about helping a poor neighborhood, or bringing in jobs, it's about turning a poor neighborhood into a wealthy one. So this is more like exploiting a bad situation for gain, rather than trying to do some good.
      Wikipedia has lengthy article detailing the pros and cons, as the displacment I'm critiquing is only one piece of the puzzle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentrification

Around Jamaica Ave. there weren't a lot of white people, but as soon as you get to the Barclay's Center you see more and more. I'm white myself, just so that there aren't any misunderstandings about racism or such.

It has just added and changed it. hear hear long live Echo Park.

Just like cops stop Latinos or blacks for wearing Dickies, Chuck Taylors, Nike Cortez, bandanas and sports jerseys, they should stop Hell's Angels for wearing their patched up vests and %1er patches. The Peckerwoods always wear Woody Wood Pecker clothing and have Woody Wood Pecker stickers on their trucks. Bro's always have Skin Industries stickers on their trucks, and always wear Dickies shorts, knee high black socks, black sunglasses and wifebeaters.

    I lived in Echo Park for 14 years and I was frequently harassed by the cops when walking home late at night walking home from my corporate job.
    There would be White kids screaming and throwing up on the sidewalks, and coming out of the bars at 2am, but the cops would focus on me walking up the hill to my luxury apartment building instead.
    I guess that my designer clothes, designer bag, work badge and the fact that I wasn’t drunk signaled to them that I didn’t belong in the neighborhood that I had already lived in for 6 years.
    When my landlord started making unnecessary ‘improvements’ like repaving the parking lot, and re-tiling the marble in the lobby, I knew it was time to go!
    It was a ploy to get around rent-stabilization laws and jack up my already $2000 a month rent, so I moved to Hollywood for another rent stabilized place that was $500 cheaper and almost twice as large.
    Though I miss Echo Park , 90% of the places that I loved are gone, and I haven’t been harassed by the police once in Hollywood in 4 years.

    I grew up in LA starting 1958. I lived in Brentwood before the San Diego Freeway went thru the Santa Monica mountains, it was being built. Went to Olivara Street as a kid. I love latino culture, its part of me. The only problem has been illegal immigration and the influx of gangs and drugs.

    yeah why do they pick on the small businesses to question about gentrification, when places like starbucks, take a strangle hold on places, citys and countries. Not v fair. There a family business, working hard like everyone else.

      Please. How the fuck are they different from Starbucks when their prices are worse than Starbucks? Doesn't matter if it's a married couple running a business, if they're pricing out the population or specifically creating a business that doesn't cater to the locals, and instead only to the influx pop or tourists, then wtf is that? Starbucks is annoying as a chain and slightly more expensive than a small drive through hut, but they're nothing compared to these trendy little spots. At least I can roll into Starbucks without worrying about judgement or a dress code.

      +Chairman X I don't agree with this. gentrification can be good or bad. If an area is being gentrified to be a strip mall obviously, kind of wasteful , but on the other hand places can be gentrified for parks ,reccenter, small businesses etc... Atlanta being a good example of useful gentrification.

    • @goldsilverandiamonds
      @goldsilverandiamonds 7 лет назад +2

      So you'd rather have a run down slum than a nice new Mall that creates new jobs, tax revenue, grows the economy, creates stores and businesses that serve the need of people, improves the neighborhood, lowers crime rates, is visually attractive and desirable and benefits far more people? You really aren't thinking. Gentrification means improvement and positive and needed progress. People like you would prefer to keep the slums and abandoned run down building of Detroit then have some risk takers come in invest and improve the area. You leftists really are sick.

    • @95ern
      @95ern 7 лет назад

      +goldsilverandiamonds No it depends sometimes malls aren't needed and sometimes malls don't support small businesses. I'd rather there be a some type of town fund that invests in revitalizing old buildings for small business like in ATL. I'm by no means anti-gentrification.

    Definitely wrong to say there’s no good rock’n’roll bands anymore. I’ve seen some very unique amazing bands in my young life, it’s just that most of them can’t afford to pay 3000 for an apartment in LA and the major labels don’t want them cause that’s not what sells anymore there’s also a host of other reasons I don’t feel like typing out right now
