Redevelopment Plans for Watts
As a resident of South Los Angeles, I think that the Watts redevelopment plan is a good idea. For example, if they build new businesses, there will be more jobs for people.
However, what about our homes? What if we don’t want to sell our houses? I think that government should just buy from the people who are willing to sell their homes.
I think that in order to improve this community, the government should give more jobs to people. That’s why there are a lot of drug dealers on the streets of Los Angeles. Finally, I think that government should build more recreation areas for youths.
