[edit] Source and limitation for census figures?

I'm just wondering what source was used for the census figures and what were the boundaries. Do the figures include Westside Village?

[edit] Where is the Shia mosque?

Is this Shia mosque the same one that is at the Iman Center? If so, the two facts should be combined.

[edit] Rezoning

The tax base cultivation rezoning of the 1960s is quite familiar to the Westside natives and USC planning faculty with whom I've spoken. The easiest article to find on a related matter is here. Essentially, the assessment formula was changed such that property tax was based on the value of the land given the underlying zoning, rather than the value of improvements. Bump a parcel up from R1.5 to R3, and all of the sudden you can take a whole hell of a lot more tax from a property. This happened all over Los Angeles and in some of its suburbs in the '60s.--Slightlyslack 06:14, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
