You just kind of pontificating from a distance. Little Ethiopia is barely more than a strip of restaurants. That area is mostly white & jewish, and there are active Crips all around that area. Yes some of them settled in the apartments around there & thats how it started but most live south of Pico which is Black & Mexican. There is no ethiopian utopia in Los Angeles.
A few blocks literally, Im talking less than 10 or so from where Nip was murdered starts some of the wealthiest Black communities in the United States. Not LA, the United States. View Park, Windsor Hills, Baldwin Hills & Ladera Heights. This is where Maxine Waters finds the money & support to remain in congress all these years.
The westside of south LA is filled with plenty of beautiful neighborhoods, majorily Black owned. But there is street politics that go back to the end of the civil rights movement. And those politics are driven by port access to a lot of black market goods, cocaine, hair'ron, generic pills or even bootleg Louie Vuitton.
You can stop at a neighborhood store with well kept homes , st augustine grass, 3 series BMW in the driveway & its an active war zone. Los Angeles can put a dreamer to sleep.
