7th Street Line

The encroachment of development from Downtown Los Angeles is creating an urgent crisis in the neighboring community of Boyle Heights. The neighborhood has already suffered from the process of gentrification for decades with many low-income families forced to move away. New developments continue to change the face of the neighborhood with business closures and community housing insecurity. The 7th Street Line offers an alternative to existing development models, endeavoring to keep the local population, support small businesses, and honor the vibrant history and diversity of Boyle Heights while offering new opportunities for housing and cultural spaces.
