Los Angeles Crime

When life delivers boatloads of lemons, turn them into an abundance of lemonade.

REAL ESTATE NEWS

Today, the City of Los Angeles gives unlimited free real estate to those who appear homeless, while property values plummet amid alarming lawlessness and erupting dangers. Anyone who may appear to be possibly homeless may erect unlimited tents, place unlimited derelict motorhomes, and store unlimited personal items indefinitely on sidewalks and streets in most industrial, commercial and unincorporated areas of L.A. The exceptions include wealthy neighborhoods with the most expensive real estate. Homeless activities are generally not allowed in rich neighborhoods. Poor and rich have special privileges in Los Angeles. Only the middle class must follow all laws and pay full taxes. We in L.A.’s middle class are required to pay for the special privileges and exemptions enjoyed by the wealthy and the presumed poor.

Because of these new free real estate laws and massive exemptions from most laws, sidewalks and streets are increasingly blocked, fewer people enjoy walking in the city. Pedestrians, especially women, children, homeless and disabled, are forced to trudge in the streets, where they are often injured or killed by automobiles. Most seriously, lawlessness breeds crime, which begets more serious and more harmful crimes.

Lawlessness, armed robbery and drive-by shooting across the street from Alta Lofts in Los Angeles
Crime has skyrocketed. Dumping, petty theft, vandalism, assault, armed robbery and drive-by shootings now occur regularly in neighborhoods that were once reasonably safe. On Christmas Day, a 20 year old man was shot and killed in our neighborhood. Last night, a drive-by shooting right across the street from Alta Lofts left one man injured. Today, his condition is unknown.

Many are choosing the head-in-the-sand or hide-in-the-basement approach to problems lately. We can choose to remain silent and hand over our rights and our lives. We can move away to other cities, states and countries, or we can do the right thing and speak up now to protect our homes. — Corey Chambers
