The “Second Civil War” is a social warfare between the interests of the middle class against the welfare of the urban poor. Malls and complexes of many buildings have replaced public space; police inside these complexes places people under surveillance. These malls and office centers have access to electronics, whereas in the ghetto it electronics are not as accessible. This unequal distribution is the start of Los Angeles heading into one direction favoring the elite. Public services are diminishing and public spaces are becoming more privatized. This clashes with the view of Frederick Law Olmsted, the mastermind behind Central Park. He saw parks and other public spaces as a way to bring the different social classes together through similar leisurely activities. Olmsted wrote, “No one who has closely observed the conduct of the people who visit [Central] Park can doubt that it exercises a distinctly harmonizing and refining influence upon the most unfortunate and most lawless classes of the city-an influence favorable to courtesy, self-control, and temperance.” Why has the distinction between classes been reinforced by public spaces?
