The Gilded Age Families Who Built Los Angeles (Documentary)

Sad how downhill LA has gone. Now it's a big dumpster of theft and drug addicts.

My grandfather was an operator at big creek powerhouse, build for operating the red cars in Los Angeles by HE Huntington. My Grandmother made him quit after one of the other operators was killed by somehow getting across one of the lines. I was told that all they found after were his shoes!😲😲

Culyural capital 😂.Plastic boobs and lips

Love this California history. I always wondered where the street name Doheny came from

When they talk about the city of angles they didn't tell ppl that its the city of the fallen angles

First of all, I stayed at the Doheny Estate between 1963 and 1969 so I was very interested. Was this awful writing by AI ? WOW that’s some majorly awful go nowhere writing with meandering paragraphs that go in endless circles you never come to a point and news alert this isn’t about the gilded age whatsoever. Your images don’t correlate what you were talking about for instance you were talking about custom vehicles of Dohenys while showing images of the the house again yet again, and the images of the colleges and of the universities were not the actual universities. Way too much stock footage You’re just pulling at crap. This Really poorly done. Again you are historically all over the board and come to NO academic conclusion. We have no Insight you’re just listing historical events while tossing up unrelated images. And you had a ton of images that weren’t even in Los Angeles.
Seriously this was a major fail. And you got stuck between 1910-1929 that’s absolutely not The Gilded Age of Los Angeles! The Gilded Age of Los Angeles starts in the 1870s around the Victorian suburbs of Pasadena, Angelina Heights. Boyle Heights . With people like Otis,Wilshire, Banning, Wrigleys, Chandlers, Baldwin, Workman, Temple, Boyle. Doheny was a young man in his 20s in Wisconsin he was a drifter. And in order for him to make big money in oil the automobile needs to be invented and being massed produced in order for that to occur. 1920s not the Gilded Age.
This was very disappointing. I hate how uninformed everyone is including you are about Los Angeles my Cities History it’s haphazardly glossed over. So the insulting equivalent of this is doing the Gilded Age of New York and you started at the 1920s and the building of the Empire State Building…😂 get a grip Leaving out the Astors and the horse drawn carriages down Park Avenue…do yourself a favor take this video down its a mess. Seriously in the first part of the video I think that fake announcer voice says Doheny about 114 times! 😂

‘Opulent’ is a good word, but it loses its effect when you say it over, and over, again. There are a lot of repetitive superlatives throughout. Maybe you need an editor or a thesaurus. Good stuff otherwise.

What about Pio Pico?

Great documentary. Was hoping you’d also include Lucky Baldwin.

Nice documentary. The eleven labs narration voice is pleasant to listent to.

You can kiss the rich asses all you want, but they were greedy, selfish pigs, that didn't give a crap about anyone but themselves.

I’m amused at how this video reflects the stereotypical LA style: only including those that out-slutted real talent, marginalizing any real talent (that actually stitched random meaningless things together to form something that, for many reasons, still lacks that vital center known as a heart) and THEN completely ignoring anyone that laid the groundwork for all of it to happen. Now do a real city like Cleveland.

"… The onset of his familial responsibilities". LOL, not the most positive way to describe that, bro.

We were Never a Territory in California

Sounds like Edward Doheny found out what it’s like to get ahead of J. D. Rockefeller.
