The Rio Pueblo | The neighbourhood of Rio Pueblo is named after the Rio Pueblo river, which translated in English, means "Rapid River". During the construction of the I-710 in the 1950s, many homes and businesses were destroyed, and residents were relocated. This upheaval also caused "The Couf", a long standing historic hotel, to go bankrupt. This rapid transition lead to instability in the area, where crime had skyrocketed. However, during 1980s many activist groups were formed in favor of the dismantling of the controversial freeway. In 1987, plans to revitalize the historic neighborhood which had now fallen into disarray began. Large amounts of housing were built during this time, including several hundred bungalow style single family homes. The previously abandoned Couf was revitalized and restored into a large housing complex. The heavy influx of middle class families in the area, along with the rapid gentrification resulted in a dramatic decrease in crime. Other large projects in the area included a 2015 development in Rio Pueblo as well as neighboring Los Llanos, including a new set of single family homes, and a large golfing complex. | ||
