Another thing.
#Altadena is a historically Black neighborhood. Tied into the work that John Brown’s sons did after his death and their migration west, along with being a free state, Altadena #California was one of the only cities to outlaw redlining, allowing Black families to purchase houses in the developing area.
This is why so many legendary African Americans come from this area - from Octavia to the directorial icon John Singleton.
It’s devastating on several levels.
