In the story, the protagonist tries to remember the Los Angeles she grew up in, a time when the divide between rich and poor had not been as strong as had become, when she could actually visit the beach. when people were not constantly being evicted from buildings with shared bathrooms and kitchens so that a more housing for the rich could be built, and when she and others could get a regular job instead of depending on the unreliable gig economy.
