Changing neighborhoods: York & Fig
Marketplace Weekend goes from New York to a special satellite bureau set up in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. An entire team of Marketplace reporters and producers spent four months there, at the intersection of York Boulevard and Figueroa Street. The name of this project is York and Fig. It’s an area undergoing rapid gentrification. There are obvious changes in the neighborhood, and more subtle stuff you only learn from close careful observation. Krissy Clark of Marketplace’s Wealth and Poverty desk, spoke with Lizzie O’Leary about her reporting.
