The burn of living near abandoned property
By Sam Quinones
Private houses can become a public fire hazard when squatters take over.
Families living near the property at 6110 S. Main St. in Los Angeles say they watched it descend into chaos over the last couple years.
The SoLa Foundation, a nonprofit organization, intended the site as an affordable-housing development. But the builder went bankrupt midway through the project and left it a half-built concrete shell, according to a press release from Councilman Curren Price, who represents District 9.
