I had to make a tech call to a tv station in LA (KLCS) once. I went in with the
reseller and as we got close it began to look like we driving into a war
zone... I turned to the reseller "Nigel, where the hell are you taking me?"
There was literally a car in the street upside down on fire...
The station was (is) very nice but its got a big fence around it...
Turns out there had been a gang battle the night before, uncommon in that area
(north of LA) but not unheard of. I never went there after dark.
Of course I used to stay in Silverlake which is "up and coming" which means is
a pit. One time I had a flat tire, so I pull over and call the rental company.
"Are you somewhere safe?" she asks. I look around and spot the vatos eyeing me.
"Uhhh, no." she replies "Go someplace safe, drive on the flat until you are
someplace safe."
Back in the locked parking garage under the hotel they sent a guy to come fix
the flat...

Like Compton?
An
upper midwest company I used to work for was looking for cheap light
industrial real estate in the LA basin to store equipment in as a
regional hub for a rental business. The guy who was heading up the
search knew nothing about LA.
He came running in the office one day, all worked up.
"I found some really great property in LA CHEAP!"
(me) "Oh, yeah? Where is it exactly?"
"Someplace called Compton."
I held my tongue.
