#NowPlaying Seas of Gold by BROOKFIELD

[jacobknight-jk]

So my city chose to build Townhouses instead of a homeless shelter and I’m irked. Ok so before I get kind of petty I want to give some background information to this whole situation. 

We’re gonna do this in three parts 

Part 1 

What the heck do we do with this gosh darn land

Construction continues at the former site of the 128-year-old Fred C. Nelles Correctional Facility, in Whittier, CA, on Tuesday, Nov 19, 2019. The site was closed in 2004 and is now under construction for new homes and a commercial center. (Photo by Jeff Gritchen, Orange County Register/SCNG)

So the Nells site was this youth correctional facility for more than 100 year, finally closing down in 2004, was sold for 42 million to Brookfiled residential to build a bunch of homes, apartments and shops ect. 

Sounds ok right ? I mean The city I’m in, Whittier, is crowded as hell but it’s not that bad right ?

As more and more news and images came out about the site, it became clearer and clearer who the site was for. 

While I’m sure you can state all the reasons this site was repurposed this way, it was mostly for money. I mean in a Whittier Daily News Article from  2018, 

David Bartlett, vice president of land entitlements for Costa Mesa-based Brookfield Residential,said that, 

“for the first time in its 128-year history, the property will be on the tax roll,”.

Before the sale, the state tried to re purpose the area for places such as a training or re-entry facility and prison hospital, and when that failed, there was even a conservation group that opposed rebuilding in order to preserve the buildings there. That group no longer exists. And Having money isn’t inherently bad at all, the issue is just that land could’ve been repurposed into. But I mean, new people coming in right. Hey maybe it’ll be low income housing and the commercial areas will provide some jobs and hey, maybe there will be a community center. Maybe even a public park for everyone to enjoy 

Part 2

So who the gosh dang are gonna live there. 

Ok so I look at these photos and think wow, this is nice. Really nice. I’d love to go there and check it out. 

So I go to the website and I see something that probably should’ve been obvious but i was too dumb to see it.

The recreational parts of the groves are entirely private. 

As stated by the groves website,

“The Groves’ private recreation center, re imagined in the site’s historic chapel, is sure to be your favorite spot to swim, unwind, get fit, celebrate a special event or catch up with friends.”

And I very stupidly realize that this place isn’t for ….

Most of my family 

So according to the website, the price range for some of these town-homes range from 4 hundred thousand to 8 hundred thousand with 189 apartments available and 5 hundred 61 homes for sale. ( following images are taken from the Groves website. )

Now before I comment on the type of people that’ll live here I want to say two things. 

I recognize my privilege and where I live and that I am blessed to live on a property in uptown and to have a family to support me

I feel like I don’t need the relation between the connection between ethnic groups and their relations to socioeconomic status. I don’t need to explain how, historically, those with lighter skin tones do better in this country than those with darker. We know this. Yes it is a complex issue and there is nuance. But I don’t need to explain that because I trust that whomever watching this video is smart. 

So yeah, a bunch of rich white people are probably gonna move it and the only surprising thing about that is that they’ll be below wittier blvd.

Well ….

Part 3

So why the heck am I mad

I am mad that the council chose to have these developers come in and build townhouses instead of something that would do more to benefit the community.

How about a homeless shelter huh ? A woman died New year’s day last year and they had this whole meeting about it, and they are barely putting together a temporary shelter for the homeless this august. 

The Homeless were literally living on the green leaf belt where they had no where else to go, and instead of providing appropriate space for them, they were given hotel vouchers and then forced away.

OK fine. You don’t want a homeless shelter. How about you find contractors to build low income housing, or maybe put a park there. You could still transform part of the area for commercial use. 

But no . Its private community with town-homes and a pool and trails and a bunch of nice amenities. I’m sure there’s nuance to the pro of building it all that I’m not addressing, but this was more of a structured stream of consciousness rather than a dissection of the idea and a complete dismissal of it 

I hope whoever lives there, lives well. And has a good time.

That’s it that’s the Article 

So for all the sites I referenced you can find links down below, so you can do your own research. 

Did you agree with me ? Do you hate Me? Let me know in the comments down below. 

Hope you’re doing well, bye.
