I ran across this Julius Shulman photo of Hacienda Village in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles taken in 1942.
Children are at play outside their apartment at the Hacienda Village Housing Project (later renamed Gonzaque Village), located at 1515 East 105th Street in the Watts section of Los Angeles. It was built in 1942 on 17.6 acres. Its 71 one-story buildings have 182 units housing 437 residents.
Here is a google maps view from today.

Welcome to Moreno Drive, one of the best streets in Silver Lake. This 1936 traditional hillside property sits on a down-slope with some of the best views of the Silver Lake Reservoir. The upstairs you will find the kitchen, dining room and the living room. The bedrooms are located on the floor below. The large formal dining room opens up to the spacious deck. The deck reminds me of the TV show “The Outdoor Room” with Jamie Durie. This home is also in the Ivanhoe Elementary part of Silver Lake.
Silver Lake Short Sales

Silver Lake Short Sales 101:
What is a short sale?
A short sale is when a Seller of real estate owes more on the property than the property is worth. The Seller is upside down on the loan.
Why is it called a short sale?
The Seller is selling their real estate short of what is owed to the bank. For example let’s say the Seller purchase the real estate for $500,000 and is now trying to sell it for $350,000, this is very common in a declining market. The Seller is asking the bank to take the $150,000 hit.
