There is dirty air everywhere and also there is swift, blinding violence everywhere. While LA may have large numbers, and we may be pioneers, we are not necessarily unique, only perhaps in scale. I am sure every SYG poster can tell you at least one of these sob stories and can trace back a murder or two in their neighborhood. By the circumstance of life, I live where i can trace back just a few more than others, but hey, that is life. I honestly and sincerely love this town, flaws and all. Maybe I love it a bit more and that is why I don't mind ditching a car and hoofing it through some of these neighborhoods sure, but hey, the hood can be fun too, its not all just gang violence don't let this thread or the newspapers fool you. There are women to meet, good food to grab on every street corner, kids runnin around everywhere to laugh with, animals from dogs to goats to roosters all over the place, parks, plazas, elotes, cars bumpin at every red light..
The problems are universal so where would I go? Besides, I really love it here, even with and sometimes especially because of all the drama. Like any culture you learn to adapt, live and even thrive.
and I don't do hard drugs (though you should know, LA really does have the best
)
