it used to be a rubber factory. Now it's an outlet mall.

My friend Fernando Guerra (of LMU's poly sci and Chicano studies
departments and the Center for the Study of L.A.) once calculated the

the workers at the rubber factory could afford to buy the median house
in Los Angeles, but those at the outlet mall can just barely afford to
rent the median apartment in L.A.
