Because it was already in decline due to the beginnings of Lee's takeover. He had to go some place new that had not been spoiled. And that place was Anaheim.

Elden Hall was an old Brethren meeting place in LA obtained by the newly formed LC. Don Rutledge, in his account, said that WL told him privately that Elden had become stale and his ministry needed a new start, and thus the move to Anaheim and the new name, from Stream Publisher to Living Stream Ministry. Numerous other posters (Elden1971, HosePipe, etc.) who were part of Elden have stated that Lee was not responsible for the blessing there, but his rise as the preeminent speaker expedited the end of the blessing.
The story oft-repeated in the GLA was that crime forced them out of LA. Titus Chu was always protective of WL, and covered up any and all unrighteousness at LSM including that of Philip amd Tomothy Lee, when the police should have been called. TC would allow any brother to be thrown under the bus in order to protect WL, his so-called "spiritual father," and his family. John Ingalls account
STTIL made that clear. TC felt he owed everything to WL, including his own life. Most of us would conclude that we owed everything including our life to the Lord Jesus.
