Downtown Los Angeles Summit of the Americas Snarls Traffic, Exposes Embarrassing Dangers

REAL ESTATE NEWS ( Downtown Los Angeles, CA) — The Summit of Americas brings traffic, road closures to Downtown LA. Barricades, road closures and snarled traffic combine with homeless tent cities, an explosion of violent crime, skyrocketing fuel prices and runaway inflation. Amid all this, a convention center full of politicians.

President Biden promises to outline his vision for the future at this week’s Summit of the Americas here in LA, according to CBS. Not everyone is happy about this presidential visit to Downtown Los Angeles. Many will avoid being downtown this week because presidential motorcades cause many street closures, leading to massive gridlock in the city center. Street barricades are installed, positioned in front of the convention center where the summit will be. Unfortunately, Biden and global leaders will be coming and going, all week, shuttling and fro, leading to blocked streets and halted vehicles on many streets and freeways.

The Ninth Summit of Americas allows for important discussions of big issues, including immigration, human rights and climate change. Hopefully they will discuss how to stop the deadly flow of fentanyl into this country. This is the first time for the United States to host the summit since 1994. Apparently the president if Mexico is not going to show up because the U.S. has banned leaders of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. While it’s still not clear exactly which foreign leaders will be here, one thing is for sure — they’re be getting a gander of a Los Angeles that more closely resembles how poorer countries looked 40 years ago: homeless shanties and decaying infrastructure. It’s unlikely that many of the world leaders will be getting out to take a walk. It’s simply too dangerous. If they are not assaulted by mentally ill homeless, they might break their ankle in one of many holes in the sidewalks, where they could be electrocuted by exposed high power lines. If they survive that, they could be hit by miscellaneous stray bullets. The world leaders could be shocked by the smell of trash, rotting waste, urine and human excrement on the sidewalks.

Caltrans warns drivers to stay away from the areas between the 110, 10 and 101 freeways, and to avoid the 6th street avenue off ramps. On Tuesday, the voting booths in the same area present a possibility of conflicting traffic chaos between summit attendees, police, voters and workday commuters.

World leaders are also getting an up-close glimpse of the languishing symbol of communist China real estate crash, the development project ghost building called OceanWide Plaza. It’s right across the street from LA LIVE and the Crypto.com Arena. Also nearby are Flower Street Lofts, Ritz Carlton Residences, Ten50, Evo, Elleven, Luma and Metropolis condominium buildings.

Martin Luther King Jr Day

Love foundation of unity
“Love is the greatest force in the universe. It is the heartbeat of the moral cosmos.” — MLK
Civil rights gains and an atmosphere of love and unity helped set the direction
for Loft Blog founders Corey Chambers and Jackie Wieland.

Rev Martin Luther King, Jr was largely responsible for the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Civil Rights Act banned discrimination in the workforce and public accommodations based on race, color, religion, or national origin. Here are some MLK quotes to remember:

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

“Forgiveness is not an occasional act. It is a permanent attitude.”

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.”

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.”

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

“The time is always right to do what is right.”

“Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”

“Hate is just as injurious to the hater as it is to the hated. Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Many of our inner conflicts are rooted in hate. This is why psychiatrists say, “Love or perish.” Hate is too great a burden to bear.”

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

“Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.”

Without the unifying love and powerful leadership of Martin Luther King Jr, the Loft Blog would not exist. In recognition of civil rights progress, check out the Wisdom Matters blog post on the L.A. Loft Blog. How can we help you? Fill out the online form:
