Lynwood, California
Lynwood used to be a thriving and prosperous city but began to fail due to poor city planning. Interstate 105 cut directly through the city which resulted in the evictions of 1,000 homes and businesses. After the evictions, the homes and businesses were knocked down to make way for the interstate.
The city then began to struggle with finances. Locals believe that officials did not put the tax money where it needed to go and that left everyone struggling. Unfortunately, the future looks bleak.
