Pauline has lived in Koreatown on and off for 10 years. She currently lives in a neighborhood on Normandie Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard. She said the biggest changes she had seen were more shops and markets and older ones being renovated. One of the biggest issues that affects her are slum lords who knowingly rent out apartments that have problems. She said people leave their furniture out on the street because of bed bugs and the problem spreads out to other houses. Slum lords don’t call exterminators to spray or tent the buildings so the problem doesn’t get resolved.
