No doubt a reflection of smaller households, as crowded immigrant neighborhoods transition. Hollywood saw some impressive growth, same with some Westside pockets. South LA was a bit of a mixed bag.

I have family in Highland Park and there were probably 100 or less new units built in the last 20 years. It's pretty much a neighborhood that doesn't drastically look different. In about 2 Square miles. Actually I think all 100 units were built in the last 10 years. The vast majority were home renovation, flipped homes. I think echo park, silver lake, eagle Rock are similar. I do notice that in Highland Park, that there are clearly less children among the new affluent homeowners versus 30+ years ago when many immigrants from Asia and Latin America moved in and had 3+ kids.and schools were overcrowding. The kids grew up and moved out or stayed with parents and had their own kids.
