Top 5 reasons (greater) L.A. has gone far downhill
-
8/18/2007
1. Illegal immigration. The more we get, the more the region becomes like Mexico City (at best) or Tijuana (at worst).
2. Crowding. Developers continue to build more and more housing, while open spaces disappear and parking capacity, highways, and public transportation lag 10-20 years behind. Related to #2.
3. Collapsing school system. Less than half of LAUSD kids now graduate from high school. Related to #2.
4. Crime. Gangs like never before. Related to #2.
5. City government is utterly incompetent.
