The Real Reality of Skid Row: A Practical Theology Perspective looks with an unblinking eye at the details of the lives of homeless people and uses the portraits that emerge as the perspective from which to think theologically about the challenges they face and calling the church hears to offer its witness to them. Rev. Jeffrey R. Thomas, PhD, drawing upon his time serving as a pastor of a congregation in Skid Row, Los Angeles, sketches out the contours of individuals' lives, analyzes the personal and societal factors that contribute to their circumstances, and suggests approaches for shaping the church's responses in both word and deed.

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.

Co-Creative Placekeeping in Los Angeles is a novel examination of Los Angeles-based socially engaged art (SEA) practitioners’ equitable placekeeping efforts. A new concept, equitable placekeeping describes the inclination of historically marginalized community members to steward their neighborhood’s development, improve local amenities, engage in social and cultural production, and assert a mutual sense of self-definition—and the efforts of SEA artists to aid them. Emerging from in-depth interviews with eight Southern California artists and teams, Co-Creative reveals how artists engage community members, sustain relationships, and defy the presumption that residents cannot speak for themselves. Drawing on these artists and theoretical analysis of their praxes, the book explicates equitable community engagement by exploring not just the creative projects but also the underlying phenomena that inspire and sustain them: community, engagement, relationships, and defiance. What further sets this book apart is how it deviates from the conventional who and what of SEA projects to foreground the how and the why that inspire and necessitate collectively creative action. Co-Creative is for anyone studying arts-based community development and gentrification, given it complicates and enriches the current conversation about art’s undeniable and increasingly controversial role in neighborhood change. It will also be of interest to researchers and students of urban studies.
