The private investment firm Fifteen Group's proposal for the nation's largest redevelopment project – which threatens to displace some 6,000 mostly Latino residents – is in the works in the Boyle Heights neighborhood, just east of downtown LA. Some 300 residents gathered this week in what they call "The Mall", a large grassy field that is central to the complex, to inform themselves about the developer's plans and to strategize how to move forward. Nico Aviña has the story.
