Los Angeles

Los Angeles is in southern Chile, near Chillán and Concepción, close to the earthquake´s epicenter. While much of the city appears to be in good condition, locals know that only the fronts of buildings have been repaired, and many places that seem unharmed at first glance are still uninhabitable months after the disaster.

While government housing projects have been underway in Los Angeles for some time, newly homeless earthquake victims are now recieving priority over the poor. These mass produced buildings make up the scenery for miles on the road east to Santa Barbara.
