if hollywood park closes, which track will fill thier racing dates?

I had heard that Los Al was going to be rebuilt with a one mile course with turf
or maybe fairplex.

no one's committing money to building anything.

check in after the sequel to whatever this summer's movie blockbuster is and someone might have an intelligent opinion.

It's a handy location for something like that. It's not a great area, but it's not quite as bad as it's portrayed to be. I've been to that Home Depot, and IN-N-OUT Burger behind the track. I don't see it as that bad an area. I'd say the gangs are a bit further inland (East.) There are some adjacent areas like El Segundo, Westchester, the whole South Bay(Redondo/ Manhattan/ Hermosa Beach,) Venice, M D REY, Santa Monica, West L.A. ETC. that are headquarters for corporations. The lower and mid-level employees can't afford to buy in those areas. I don't think many white couples in that situation would buy in the Inglewood area. I think Blacks, Latins, and multi-racial couples in that situation would consider buying in Inglewood if there was a gated community (or some exclusivity gadget) set-up. Don't they have some of that in back of the track already? My guess is that the organization was an effort by people living in the nicer areas I stated above. They don't want to have to constantly drive to Anita or Los Al.
