Get treated like a gang member!!!

2/2/2009
I've lived here for two decades, which is about 19-1/2 years too long. When the ink is dry on our retirement papers we are out of here. Why? Over run with gangs and section 8 housing. Arrogant Mayor and City Council passing laws as if this was their own personal kingdom. New business construction as the strip malls sit empty. I doubt they will ever finish tearing up the main roads over and over and over again. Don't even think about owning a Rottweiler or "pit bull" in this town. If the crime continues, and it most like will, don't plan to own any dog that the city council doesn't like (pretty much anything over 40 pounds is on their radar). The constant wind, at least that will save you the cost of a patio because you will almost never be able to use it - ditto on your BBQ. Big box stores selling only the cheapest nastiest goods. Even the department stores feel like seconds. Everything is the color of dirt. No architectural standards committee which assures a horrible mish mash of fake Grecian temple strip malls next to modern office buildings, across the street from fake south western adobe. No airport and it's 2+ hours to the next closest one. Nightmarish traffic on the freeway and off. Some of the worst schools in Southern California.
