Dario Herrera has been an Elysian Valley resident his entire life. He has watched housing prices pushing many of his family members out of the Northeast Los Angeles neighborhood along the L.A. River that newcomers are calling "Frogtown." Clockshop's Julia Meltzer attributes changes to a combination of anticipated green space along the L.A. River, the 2008 financial crisis and the pandemic.
