Among the cleanest and safest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, Westwood is famous for Westwood Village, which is a shopping center, and UCLA, the University of California in Los Angeles. Westwood is home to a high amount of Persians and Asians, the latter of which because of its close proximity to UCLA. The glory days of Westwood and Westwood Village were from the mid-60s to the early-80s, and ended with the shooting of a young UCLA art student in an act of gang violence. There is still the occasional crime here and there, but for the most part Westwood is violence-free. Westwood is also famous for having one of the biggest traffic problems in Los Angeles, and for having an almost complete lack of available parking. It is also notoriously difficult for businesses to stay in business in Westwood due to high rent.
