57). This makes the idea that the minority communities that are using the community as a "springboard" for assimilation because there are less of the domestic non-Hispanic whites in the areas in which immigrants would typically assimilate.
There has even been the development of what is referred to as planned communities. Irvine California serves as a good example of such a development. Irvine was developed from ranch lands from a single developer that constructed "urban villages" in Orange County (Maher, 2004, p. 782). The particular site selected for this 1-997 study was in many ways a "typical" Irvine neighborhood. A planned community developed in the mid-1970s, Ridgewood comprised 246 single-family homes on a collection of cul-de-sacs connected by three public through streets: on average, residents were highly educated- 39% had graduate or professional degrees- and most of those who were employed worked in professional, managerial, technical, or sales positions (Maher, 2004, p. 784). This planned community was nearly ninety percent non-Hispanic whites.
The original appeal of this type of community was that it was away from the chaos that was perceived to be inherent in the inner-city. However, the prices of these properties were exclusively prohibitive for lower income earners such as in the migrant communities. However, migrant workers provided many of the unskilled jobs for the homeowners in Irvine and therefore located themselves in as close proximity to their jobs as they could afford. Much of the service industries, such as housekeeping or gardening, moved to the surrounding communities such as Santa Ana and consisted of a dominantly Latino population.
As minorities began to populate these areas then this changed the demographics which were once predominately white. As a man named Jeff explains in an interview, as a white man - used to be the "typical person here in Orange County," there had been a "decline" in the "social...

Iconography of Los Angeles: The Freeway City The name 'Los Angeles' has become shorthand for a whole condition of modern civilization, a state of unplanned, disordered, sprawling, polluted, congested chaos. The great mega-city of Los Angeles seems to embody the problems of the modern world on a mega-scale. But how and why did we come to see Los Angeles this way?
