Can neighborhood change be stopped?“What can you do to help save these neighborhoods? Start by telling your friends and family if they're looking for a place to live, support your black businesses in Leimert Park, and other black businesses in the neighborhoods. If you know a neighbor, friend, or family member who is contemplating on selling their home, convince them not to. Find people who can afford homes here and who are looking for a neighborhood to live in, put up signs on street poles to battle gentrification. Whatever you do, do not sell your home. ;)”
