摘要

Several years ago, in the densely populated, working-class, and predominantly Latino city of South Gate, a suburb located eight miles south by southeast of downtown Los Angeles, a middle-aged man named Jose put the finishing touches on a new structure located behind a house that he owned. After arriving in Southern California from Mexico and following years of hard work as a skilled tradesman, Jose acquired a modest collection of investment properties including this house. He had managed to buy it for $70,000 in 1989 from one of the many white families departing South Gate at the time. He soon developed plans to build a new three-car garage topped by a spacious three-bedroom apartment behind his family's new home, but his wife did not want heavy construction to take place while their two children were young. Years later, with Jose's children grown to adulthood, he was ready to take the plunge. It was now or never, because South Gate had recently changed its zoning ordinance to restrict residential construction in the area, and Jose wanted to make sure that he constructed his new building in time for it to be permissible before the rules changed.
