## Resource

Property owners in Boyle Heights are pushing for a Business Improvement District to fund security, cleaning, and landscaping in their industrial zone near the Sixth Street Bridge, arguing the city has neglected upkeep and safety. While business leaders say it’s vital to attract talent and improve the area, critics fear it could fuel gentrification, increase policing, and prioritize profit over residents. With late-night events already stirring neighborhood tensions, the proposal now faces scrutiny from a city committee as the community debates who truly benefits from these changes.
