By Richard Winton: Special to the Times
In an article discussing the incorporation prospects for the Hacienda
Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles County, author Winton says that
the community is noteworthy for its diversity. While voters rejected
incorporation seven years ago, advocates are optimistic that a vote
will pass on the November ballot and are gathering signatures to get
the issue on the ballot.
Focusing on the diversity of the neighborhood, Winton says that even
the Mormon chapel in town sports signs in English and Chinese,
reflecting the 157% growth in the neighborhood's Asian population
from 1980 to 1990. The community is almost equal parts White, Asian
and Latino.
