The project was $502,000. Plagued by crime from two of Los Angeles’ most dangerous gangs, many families moved out due to safety issues. The project was cleaned up in the 1980’s and made safe again. The property was operated by the housing authority of the City of Los Angeles, It was built on 17.6 acres of land.
