Too bad the City Fathers did not have the foresight to turn the Bunker Hills tract into a park back in
1850. The size being similar to Central Park, NY.
But Los Angeles politicians are notorious for having bad judgement and desiring to line their pockets with gold.
I suppose the reality was that those hundreds of Bunker Hill parcels were worth a fortune by 1955. Pershing Square, the one Central Park that Los Angeles does have was eventually paved over and turned into a parking lot. It was purposely made as unfriendly to people as possible.
