Racism and gentrification in Long Beach.

I’ve noticed living here my whole life that many white residents (often times big time racists) of Long Beach are scared of the areas behind the train station and stop and shop for their high concentration of black people. Meanwhile many of these same racists are also purchasing small family homes where generations of black Long Beach residents have lived and turning them into multi million dollar developments. Is this a push to kick out Long Beach’s poor, working class, and black population who have lived in this area for over a century? Also with the new condos on the boardwalk Long Beach is turning into a tourist city with no care for their residents and community’s. In the meanwhile the city council and the housing authority are loading their corrupt pockets with this dirty money that most of us frankly want nothing to do with. What can we do to put a stop to this? I don’t want to see my hometown turn into a tourist slop, Long Beach city council needs to step up and begin to care for the people who actually live here not investors and rich clowns from the city.
