I don't think too many people went to Echo Park because they were priced out of East Hollywood ; rents and housing prices in both neighborhoods have tended to be similar (East Hollywood is probably slightly cheaper than Echo Park right now, as it is only beginning to undergo gentrification). I would not consider East Hollywood to be an upscale neighborhood, either. Many of Echo Park's residents were priced out of Silver Lake and Los Feliz, with quite a few having moved from Venice (which is nowhere near Echo Park) due to high housing prices there. I deleted the references to Mayberry and Alessandro because Mayberry is not a neighborhood in Los Angeles and Alessandro St. is in Silver Lake - it is not a separate area.

Mayberry Street is in northern Silver Lake, the reference was probably to that area.
