Los Angeles. “A Prison or Apartments?” It isn’t a prison or jail, but apartments where low-income families live in Los Angeles. Jane Jacobs’ take: Ethnicity is a form of urban diversity, but she doesn’t use race as an analytical category. However, because of the lack of race development as an analytic category, the effectiveness of her argument is significantly weakened. Nevertheless, the slums remain a major gang territory for the poor and lastly; there is no commerce or street life to keep “eyes on the street” (e.g. use of sidewalks).
