18 And Life on Skid Row tells the story of a boy who spent his childhood moving from Freeport, Bahamas to California and finally to Canada and who at the age of eight discovered the gift that would change his life. Throughout his career, Sebastian Bach has sold over twenty million records both as the lead singer of Skid Row and as a solo artist. He is particularly known for the hit singles I Remember You, Youth Gone Wild, & 18 & Life, and the albums Skid Row and Slave To The Grind, which became the first ever hard rock album to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and landed him on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Bach then went on to become the first rock star to grace the Broadway stage, with starring roles in Jekyll & Hyde,Jesus Christ Superstar and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. He also appeared for seven seasons on the hit television show The Gilmore Girls. In his memoir, Bach recounts lurid tales of excess and debauchery as he toured the world with Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Soundgarden, Pantera, Nine Inch Nails and Guns N’ Roses. Filled with backstage photos from his own personal collection, 18 And Life on Skid Row is the story of hitting it big at a young age, and of a band that broke up in its prime. It is the story of a man who achieved his wildest dreams, only to lose his family, and then his home. It is a story of perseverance, of wine, women and song and a man who has made his life on the road and always will. 18 And Life On Skid Row is not your ordinary rock memoir, because Sebastian Bach is not your ordinary rock star.

This dissertation investigates the social, political, and economic consequences of downtown loft conversions, focusing on the case of Los Angeles's Skid Row. Through loft conversions, aging industrial and commercial buildings are transformed into residential apartments or condominiums. Lofts are seen as a promising mode of urban revitalization for city governments faced with tightening budgets, stiff intercity competition for capital investment, and problems with homelessness and decaying infrastructure. While such developments may make economic sense from cities' perspectives, the juxtaposition of housing and services for marginalized groups and relatively wealthy loft dwellers poses challenges. The needs and priorities of long-time residents of distressed neighborhoods are often very different from those of their loft resident neighbors. City-sponsored loft conversions raise concerns of exclusion and social injustice, as well as questions about for whom and for what interests city policies and plans function. The research employed a qualitative case study methodology and included three major data collection strategies: semi-structured interviews, archival data collection, and field observations. 75 interviews were conducted with diverse "loft district" residents, city planners and police officials, local business representatives, loft developers, and advocates of low-income and homeless populations. Archival documents such as Los Angeles city policies, mass media publications, and loft marketing materials were collected, and field observations were conducted throughout the neighborhood. The dissertation argues that loft development benefited Skid Row by attracting attention and investment to some of the area's long-neglected problems. Loft conversions did not result in the displacement of longer-tenured residents. Lofts and other new developments in the area did, however, bring about social and discursive tensions between residents and between city officials and low-income resident advocates. Loft development also brought to light double-standards involving trash collection, the provision of public toilets, openness to the presence of families, and the spatial overconcentration of alcohol-serving businesses. The dissertation suggests that inclusive, neighborhood-level planning and focused attention to residents' concerns would likely have a substantial impact on bringing together views of the neighborhood and lessening current injustices. Recommendations address prospects for socially inclusive "loft districts" and carry implications for neighborhood planning and community development amidst social differences.

“A well-supported critique of therapeutic policing and, by extension, of similar paternalistic efforts to help the poor by hassling them into good behavior.” —Los Angeles Times In his first year working in Los Angeles’s Skid Row, Forrest Stuart was stopped on the street by police fourteen times. Usually for doing little more than standing there. Juliette, a woman he met during that time, has been stopped by police well over one hundred times, arrested upward of sixty times, and has given up more than a year of her life serving week-long jail sentences. Her most common crime? Simply sitting on the sidewalk—an arrestable offense in LA. Why? What purpose did those arrests serve, for society or for Juliette? How did we reach a point where we’ve cut support for our poorest citizens, yet are spending ever more on policing and prisons? That’s the complicated, maddening story that Stuart tells in Down, Out & Under Arrest, a close-up look at the hows and whys of policing poverty in the contemporary United States. What emerges from Stuart’s years of fieldwork—not only with Skid Row residents, but with the police charged with managing them—is a tragedy built on mistakes and misplaced priorities more than on heroes and villains. At a time when distrust between police and the residents of disadvantaged neighborhoods has never been higher, Stuart’s book helps us see where we’ve gone wrong, and what steps we could take to begin to change the lives of our poorest citizens—and ultimately our society itself—for the better.

Tyler wächst in Los Angeles auf. Abseits des Reichtums und des Glamours der Traumstadt erlebt er tagtäglich die harte Realität in Skid Row - das Viertel ist geprägt von Obdachlosigkeit, Verfall und Gewalt. Der Kampf um die Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben wird zum bestimmenden Faktor für Tyler; die Folgen eines möglichen Scheiterns werden ihm tagtäglich vor Augen geführt. Momentaufnahmen seines Alltags, mal hoffnungsvoll und harmonisch, mal düster und dramatisch, werden begleitet von Berichten und Nachrichten über die nationalen Ereignisse und Entwicklungen der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts.
