Westside
The Westside comprises the Los Angeles city communities of Bel Air,
Beverly Crest, Beverlywood, Century City, Brentwood, Cheviot Hills,
Pacific Palisades, Palms, Rancho Park, Sawtelle, West Los Angeles,
Westwood (Los Angeles Almanac), Venice, Mar Vista, Playa del Rey,
South Robertson, Playa Vista, and Westchester, as well as the
incorporated cities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Santa Monica, and
the unincorporated county territory of Marina del Rey...

Hochdeutsch
As a technical term, the "high" in High German is a geographical
reference to the group of dialects that forms "High German" (in the
broader sense), out of which developed standard High German (in the
narrower sense), Yiddish and Luxembourgish. It refers to the upland
and mountainous areas of central and southern Germany, it also
includes Luxembourg, Austria, Liechtenstein and most of Switzerland.
This is opposed to Low German, which is spoken on the lowlands and
along the flat sea coasts of the north. High German in this broader
sense can be subdivided into Upper German (Oberdeutsch, this includes
the Austrian and Swiss German dialects) and Central German
(Mitteldeutsch).

Mafia
The story is the same across the Westside: The vida loca in
neighborhoods such as West L.A.'s Sawtelle district, Venice's Oakwood
area, and the Culver City-adjacent Del Rey barrio has turned into la
dolce vita for high-income residents who are pushing westward. Thouhg
LAPD still reports more than 50,000 gang members in the city, they
have been shoved east by gentrification. For the Latino and black
locals who called the Westside home for decades, dwindling gang
membership is the inevitable result. Many neighbors and cops, of
course, say good riddance (especially with gang crimes in West L.A.
down 45 percent so far compared to last year). But some veteranos
lament the end of an era, a time when taco-slangin' lunch trucks were
always around the corner and eses cast authoritative shadows on the
street....
