Only some apartments adjacent to the mall across Jefferson. I said I was commenting on my time there in the 70’s and THERE WAS No Student housing at 30th st then.

I wish other people were as open minded, forgiving, and tolerant as me. rlc immediately assumes that it’s the Greeks doing this just from the actions of those students.

The rules around the USC area are pretty clear- You've got to cover up, stay inside with alcohol, keep it out of the street, and turn down the music around midnight. Mostly this was just a bunch of idiot kids didn't know what they were getting themselves into. Also, this area is NOT the Greek Row. The Greek Row can be penalized. These are private residences, rented to mostly USC students in a heavily student-populated area. There is no way for the University to "come down" on these partiers, as it was not a USC event, nor organized by any recognized USC organization.

You get disrespectful, arrogant, defiant losers who think just because mommy and daddy give them everything they can disobey the law. Now they're crying to mommy and daddy that the big bad LAPD hurt them. USC students need to grow up and live in the real world. Let me live in Watts or South LA deep where the gangs are and let's see if they cry for LAPD to come help them. This was a waste of city resources for a bunch of clowns who need mental therapy. Mommy and daddy can't always solve their problems. What do you think is going to happen when you get hundreds of spoiled, drunk, immature brats partying?

Talked to one USC's security police captains and found that 30th street is a big area for off campus (non-Greek) housing, with many of the buildings owned by the University. In other words, these are the kids who don't live on 28th street (which is not to say that Greek kids didn't show up). Actually, this was not a Sorority/Fraternity thing at all, per se.
