King City's Comprehensive Plan to End Youth Violence

摘要

King City (pop. 14,724) is a friendly rural community in the Salinas Valley with tree-lined neighborhoods and a historic downtown. However, the city has experienced serious challenges over the past few decades. The loss of major businesses and employers, a failed redevelopment project, a significant poverty level and a police scandal all contributed to a financial crisis. In 2014, the California Policy Center ranked King City the second most financially distressed city in California.
