The inner city has been hit hard by the neglect of the L. A. political and economic elite, and now the elites are proposing to attack the problems by attacking the community! They are pushing development strategies that have no benefit for inner city communities. New schools, new police facilities and jails, new rail lines are being used as part of a strategy of population removal, replacement and control. Mayor Villaraigosa, in announcing an "austerity" budget for the city in which most programs and staffing were cut, insisted that increased funding for and hiring of new police officers would go forward even as other social services were slashed.
